Yes, nine-year-old Caroline.
No wonder it was a popular song at Penn State games. {cringe}
Neil Dimond was 28 in 1969 when he wrote Sweet Caroline.
She was 11 or 12.
He has given two different stories as to how this song was written, one that it was after seeing a pic of her on a horse with her parents, and the other that it was written really for his wife, but he needed a longer name than hers to fit the lyrics to the music.......................
