AVENTURA – Frank and Carol Ures were just a couple of teenage lovebirds who were “crazy in love” but were too young to love
On the campus of the University of Florida, in 1960, the two met at a college party and the rest is history.
Pictures in color from that time mark the fashions and hairstyles. Their joy is marked by the smiles on their faces.
“We felt that this was a connection, we were so close that we wanted to get married matter of fact, but we talked to our parents, and they talked us out of it,” said Frank Ures.
Their burning flame dimmed and the two left behind a love they felt was once in a lifetime. The infatuation became just a memory, Frank went back to California to serve in the US Army and Carol came back to Miami to teach. The two lost touch for 43 years.
“One day I was thinking about Carol when I was in California and wondered where she was. I said I’m wondering if she’s alive,” said Frank.
So, he Googled her and called her up. He left her a message. Carol remembers the call.
