Yep, Todd was my fave. Almost all of my early pictures of Todd were taken by Karen Tjaden, who was the president of Todd's fan club. She was also my direct source for info about Todd. She and I exchanged lots of letters (before email) and hers always included juicy bits such as where she got to go with Todd, Kelly, etc. My heart would flutter when reading how she went to watch him play basketball, go skateboarding, etc. Or how he had just returned from Hawaii with his dad and brother and he had a nice tan. Oh, to have had Karen's life back then...if only for a day or two. Sigh...

Todd, if you ever see this page...don't worry, I'm not obsessed anymore. But I thought there should be a page devoted to you! Yes, my husband thinks I'm nuts.

He was cute then (for a kid), but he is so handsome now. WOW! And what a terrific guy, too. It was such a pleasure to meet him again at the 25th reunion...he was absolutely the warmest, most genuinely nice person there.

Todd now owns his own company and also plays in the band, Loud Neighbor.

When I was infatuated with Todd, I noticed that he always wore a turqoise and silver ring on his left hand. Well, coincidentally, My mom had one just like it so I wore it all the time and pretended he and I were going together. Ugh. I wonder where he got his ring and if it had any special significance. I don't know what happened to mine. Here's what the ring looked like.

It's funny, I was looking at Dougg's page devoted to Allison Fonte and he said that he wanted to buy Allison a charm necklace, but his Mom told him to "snap out of it" and wouldn't let him send it. I can totally relate. I sent Todd a Christmas gift, and I also made him this dorky stuffed "T" with a pink satin heart on it. Now looking back, I kind of wish my Mom had told me to "snap out of it" as well!

Okay, I just have to share this quick story. While I was updating this website and working on this page in particular, my two year-old son, Nathan came in and was sitting on my lap. He saw the current picture of Todd that's at the top of this page and said, "Daddy!" I laughed and told him, no, that's not Daddy. He then said it again. I said, "no, that's Todd." Then a week or so later, we were out shopping with the whole family. Dad was in a dressing room trying on shirts when Nathan saw a guy about my husband's build coming toward us from the other end of the department. Nathan shouted out, "Daddy!" I was a little embarrassed and said, "Nathan, that's not Daddy!" He then looked me straight in the eye and said, "Todd!"

Click on Todd's name at the top of the page for another bit of fun info.
