Diane wonders why old friends suddenly pop into her mind without seeming to connect to anything that is currently happening. When she was walking today she was thinking of her mother who died in Feb 1972 and suddenly she remembered a friend from 1959-9 who has no connection at all with her mother. Her name is adrift and may come back, or not. She was part of a group of friends in the Arcadia, CA, area who met at a Methodist Church meeting. Yes, Diane was a Methodist back then and met a lot of her friends through the church. We will call the friend Margot. Margot was from Sweden and lived here with her family who had immigrated several years before. She was tall, blonde, multi-lingual, and a lot of fun. They went to the beach together, strutting their stuff on the sand and soaking up rays until they were bright red with sunburn - neither had the skin for California suntans.
Margot was with her at the Long Beach party when she met Hank, her first really serious romance. And Margot was the rider in the first trip on the freeway when Diane got her driver's license.

What happened to Margot? There is no memory of an end to the friendship, they just weren't in contact any longer. But... Why should she suddenly pop into Diane's head when she was thinking about her mother? This jolt into her past happens infrequently, but she always wonders why. And it makes her sad because she has such pleasant memories of the person who "visits" across the years.

I do hope Margot's mystery is solved in future episodes!
