WELL, AFTER JILL AND I BECAME ROOMMATES WE WENT EVERYWHERE TOGETHER. ONE DAY ON SATURDAY BEFORE EASTER WE WENT TO CONFESSION AND WERE WALKING DOWN ARAPAHOE STREET IN DOWNTOWN DENVER WHEN THESE TWO GUYS CAME OUT OF A BAR AND STARTED TO SHOUT AT US , JILL YELLED BACK AND SOON THEY CAUGHT UP WITH US, I WAS VERY RELUCTANT BUT JILL WAS DETERMINED. WE MET TOMMY AND DON, TOMMY WALKED ALONGSIDE ME FOR AWHILE AND SOON I COULD TELL HE WAS MENTALLY CHALLENGED SO I TOLD JILL I DIDNT WANT TO RELATE TO THIS GUY SHE SUGGESTED WE TRADE GUYS SO WE DID. I DIDN'T FEEL ALL EXCITED OVER DON, BUT I WENT ALONG WITH JILL'S PLAN. WE DECIDED TO GOTO THE MOVIES BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE THE GUYS HAD NO MONEY SO JILL AND I PAID FOR THE TICKETS TO SEE "THE ROBE".
THEY PROMISED TO PAY US BACK (SHADES OF JUDGE JUDY),
AND NEXT DAY THEY CAME OVER AND HAD MONEY AND PAID US BACK.
WE WENT TO A PARK CALLED ELYSIAN GARDENS WHICH WAS FREE. IT WAS A VERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE. FLOWERS AND TREES FROM EVERYWHERE THIS WAS SPRING SO THE BUDS WERE OUT AND IT WAS WARM. JILL AND I WALKED EVERYWHERE AND RODE BUSES ELSEWHERE.
DON WAS STARTING TO GET VERY TIRED WITH THE WALKING.
HE DECIDED TO GET A CAR SO HE BOUGHT A 47 STUDEBAKER
IT WAS VERY PRETTY LIEK A SPORTSCAR WITH A DENT IN THE SIDE AAND BLACK BUT IT WASNT A BAD LOOKING CAR IT HAD ONE SEAT LIKE A SPORTSCAR. HE PAID $100 FOR IT. THIS WAS IN 1956.
DON THINKS IT MAY HAVE BEENA 49 BUT I REMMEBER WE LATER GOT A 49 OLDS AND IT WAS MUCH NEWER. MEMORIES ARE FUNNY.
WE BEGAN TO SEE EACH OTHER A LOT AFTER THIS WE DROVE SOEMWHERE I CANNOT REMMEBER WHERE ONE DAY AND THE FAN BELT BROKE WE WALKED TO A GAS STATION ME IN WHITE HIGH HEELS AND MY NEWEST DRESS I HAD NO PROBLEM WALKING IN THEM AS I WORE THEM A LOT.
WE FIXED THE BELT AND WENT ON OUR WAY. IN THOSE DAYS THEY DIDNT HAVE SPECIALIZED BELTS AND PARTS FOR EVERY CAR MOST PARTS SEEMED TO BE MADE FOR ALL CARS. WHAT A SIMPLE TIME IT WAS. NOW YOU HAVE TO GOTO A DEALER AND HE HAS TO ORDER HIS SPECIALIZED PARTS.
WHAT A RACKET.
WE MET SHORTLY AFTER MY 20TH BIRTHDAY AND IT WAS SPRING, WE SAW ONE ANOTHER DAILY, AND IN LATE MAY HE ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM I SAID NO TWICE AND HE WAS VERY PUSHY AND PERSISITENT AND THE THIRD TIME HE INSISTED WE GET MARRIED BY THE NEXT TUESDAY OR WE WOULD END IT OR LIKE THAT. OF COURSE HE AT FIRST MENTIONED LIVING TOGETHER OF COURSE NOT A GOOD GIRL DOESNT LIVE LIKE THAT. SO FINALLY I AGREED TO MARRY HIM ON MAY 22ND THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY.
JILL AND TOMMY WERE OUR BEST MAN AND WOMAN AND WE WENT TO ENGLEWOOD AND GOT MARRIED BY A JP.
OH, I HAD TO BUY THE RING IT COST 13.00 CUZ HE WAS BROKE AGAIN. HAHAH IN THOSE DAYS GUYS HAD TO PAY FOR ALL THE DATES REMEMBER?
I MADE MORE THAN HE DID I EARNED ABOUT $50 A WEEK HE EARNED ABOUT $40 EVERY 2 WEEKS
AFTER OUR MARRIAGE I GOT A CHECK FOR $93.30 A MONTH.
AND THAT WAS UP TO OUR WEDDING DAY WHICH I WILL ELABORATE ON LATER I ALMOST GOT AN ANNULMENT THAT VERY DAY.
WE HAVE NOW BEEN MARRIED FRO 52 YEARS
