Which Beatle’s first girlfriend was Thelma Pickles?

Thelma Pickles was born in 1941 in Liverpool, England. In 1951, her father left her and her family. In 1957, Thelma Pickles entered Liverpool College of Art. Helen Anderson introduced her to John Lennon. John was sitting on the "signing in" table in front of the collage with Tony Carricker.

Thelma`s and John`s friendship blossomed when they were in no hurry to go home and sat on the steps of the Queen Victoria monument for a talk near the bus terminal. During this time, John started calling her "Thel." In February of 1958, John and Thelma became a couple, becoming close by the understanding of broken families.

By the end of July of 1958, Thelma left college temporarily and the relationship between her and John was over, but they remained friends.
