Love, Laurie

March, 1989

Love, LaurieAs A High Schooler in Sparks, Nevada, Laurie Wood played Miss Lonelyhearts to a circle of girlfriends. Her friends had constant "boy trouble."

The advice she gave her lustlorn girlfriends seemed, to them, a bit quaint for the mid-Eighties. Save you for marriage, Laurie said. True love--and true lust--are worth waiting for. "...
