Do you remember your crushes?

This morning, I was watching television and saw a Michael Jackson video which made me think about my crushes.


Like every other girl in the early 1970's, I was head over heels in love with David Cassidy.
I faithfully watched the Partridge Family every week just to sigh over David.

Sure, I know he was a pretty boy but when you're 10, this is what hot looks like.

Around the same time, I was watching the Rookies, a police drama.
One of the new cops became crush # 2 - Michael Ontkean

I would rush home from Brownies to have my hour with him...sigh.

Then, I went through my "jock" period.
Dwight Stones
I actually hijacked a copy of this magazine from the library for quite a long time.
Eric Heiden
What girl watching the 1980 Winter Olympics didn't have a crush on him?

And of course, Jim Craig from the 1980 Olympic Hockey Team
Actually I had a crush on almost the entire team lol


Then came Patrik Sundstrom, who was probably my most serious crush.

And there you have them.  My crushes up to age 19.
Of course, I have crushes now. I still love athletes more than actors and singers.
Do you remember yours?
