I wanted to say I'm sorry. I would tell you in person or in a letter or on Facebook if I knew how to get in touch with you. I was a freshman and you were a junior. I do not even remember what class we had together. But recall joining in with my friend who made fun of your shirt. We called you "crazy quilt". I am still, 30 years later, appalled at myself for it. It was wrong and I had never done anything like that before. But I thought my friend was funny and I would have done anything to make her like me......... Even if I hurt someone's feelings.
Truth is, I thought you were sort of cute. And I got to know you better the next year. You were sweet, too! And funny. I would have gone out with you if you had asked. But I ruined that by trying to be impress someone. I am sure you turned out to be a great man, and that anyone would be lucky to know you. You probably don't even remember me or the shirt incident- you pretty much ignored us, even though I could tell it bothered you...... But I remember, and have told my daughter the story. I hope she knows it is not worth insulting someone for a laugh.
