Only Yesterday
by Ted White
Near the start of the Great Depression, a man waits for college student Donna
Smith—someday to be Donna Albright—at the trolley stop near her rural Virgina home.
— Michael Main

you some things . . . Totally outrageous things.
You have to promise me just one thing first.”
“Only Yesterday” by Ted White, Amazing
Stories, July 1969.
