On my first day at Brentwood County High School, September 1970, in Form 3B, Karen was the girl I aspired to be. She was confident where I was painfully shy, with acne and braces on my snaggly teeth. Indeed, at the age of 11, I was already suffering from anorexia and hated my body. She was a great athlete and swimmer, while I always feigned a virulent verruca to avoid the changing rooms. Against all odds, we soon became inseparable: united by our love of horses and David Cassidy.
