Last spring, Michelle Obama shared her Prom photo with the world -- and it was amazing. So it's only fair that this prom season, TIME got a hold of Barack's prom pictures from 1979 in Hawaii and published them.
What they also found when interviewing Obama's high school friend Kelli Allman was a note that the future president had written to his classmate in her yearbook at the end of their senior year.The note reads:
Kelli, It has been so nice getting to know you this year. You are extremely sweet and foxy, I don't know why Greg [Kelli's prom date] would want to spend any time with me at all! You really deserve better than clowns like us; you even laugh at my jokes! I hope we can keep in touch this summer, even though Greg will be gone. Call me up, and I'll buy you lunch sometimes. XXX-XXXX. Anyway, good luck in everything you do, and stay happy.
Your friend,
LOVE <3
Barry Obama
I didn't know you had it in you Mr President:-)
Obama!
ReplyDeleteI had my conviction but this confirms that Barry was a 'guy man' in his heydays.
