LAFAYETTE — Some August day nearly 50 years ago, a seed was planted on Verot School Road.
There was no way Garry Brodhead, then 8 years old, could’ve had any idea what was going to transpire over the ensuing decades when he first saw the pretty girl with dark hair and dark eyes who was moving in next door. Fate doesn’t work that way. How could he have possibly conceptualized the profound depth of the joy and the heartbreak that would follow when Andrea Doucet crossed the pasture between their houses to say hello?
“I remember the day they drove up, and she comes across,” Garry said.
