Sara Martin beams while looking at a photo from her 1962 prom. She’s pictured in an apricot-coloured gown standing next to a young Kevin Martin, dressed in a dark suit.
She invited Kevin, then a Gonzaga University freshman, to her Holy Names Academy senior prom held at a hotel. The dance had Elvis Presley tunes and the Twist. She wore long white gloves and recalls her favourite flowers, gardenias, in the wrist corsage.
