Sis comments that “Jim Parks was a good friend of Hal Totten, who lived next door. Dot liked Jim a lot and he was sort of quiet at times and a nice guy. She went to the Prom with him and he was over quite a bit and a lot of times Hal came along.”

My mother writes in her diary that Jim Parks' birthday was April 13, 1928, and his favorite songs were Our Waltz, Together, and Always. She adds:

First time Jim kissed me was whle we were dancing in the dark to Our Waltz [audio clip].
