Kim lived in Oakwood Estates, which to me was where the rich people lived. She had always fascinated me because she seemed like such an individualist and nonconformist. I only remember speaking to her once, if you can call it that. I passed her on the sidewalk and said, "There's Kim Nemitz." I'm not sure if she responded. For a comparison of how much I was in awe of Kim Nemitz, think of the movie American Graffiti where the protagonist is enthralled by the sight of the lady in the white thunderbird. There is also part of me that wondered if Kim was the same girl that I saw at LanOak Park when I was in fifth grade. What I remember most about that girl now is that she wore a pink swimming cap -- not a smooth cap but one of those frilly ones. Kim was pictured on the Foreign Languages page, and her mug picture is on page 132. I just realized that gal with the pink swimming cap was Irene Zonger. As fate would have it, she was in my 8th grade homeroom class three years later. Oddly, I have no memory of actually talking to Irene. But perhaps I did.
