Her full name was Maria Thelma de la Rosario Madrano Menendez de la Riva. She was very beautiful, and apparently very rich. We met in Houston in the early 60's. She was a student at Sacred Heart Academy; I was an undergrad at Rice University. We met at a mixer. She was from Guatemala; I was from Fort Worth. We dated a few times. I had a blue Olds convertible. The nuns checked us out fairly thoroughly. One time we went to a party at the Houston Yacht Club I belonged to Baker College. Thelma was all awash in jewels and fur. I remember that she took several of her classmates home for Christmas. I was so shy, I never even kissed her; but I never forgot her name.
