HOW PEGGY AND I MET

I WAS LIVING IN WEST PALM BEACH WITH MY MOTHER AND OLDEST BROTHER ALVIN. I WAS ABOUT 22 WILD AND STUPID

I HAD A FRIEND NAMED SANDY THAT I PARTIED WITH WE WASN’T BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND BUT BACK THEN YOU COULD DATE MORE THAN ONE GIRL.MOTHER WORKEDDURING THE DAY ANDALVIN WORKED OUT BACK IN HISWORKSHOP.

ONE NIGHT AFTER COMING HOME FROM THE BEACH WE WAS TAKING A SHOWER . HEARING A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM OUTSIDE WE QUICKLY DRESSED AND WENT TO CHECK IT OUT. ALVIN HAD NOT ANYTHING TO DO WITH WOMEN SINCE HIM AND NELL BROKE UP BUT THERE HE WAS COMING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET DRUNK AS A SKUNK WITH A WOMAN ON BOTH ARMS. WHOOPS SURE MESSED UP MINE AND SANDY’S PLANS. WELL THE NEXT NIGHT THESE WOMEN WAS BACK AND A WHOLE LOT OF DRINKING GOING ON. WE HAD TO DO SOMETHING ANDDECIDED TO FIND ALVIN A GIRL FRIEND THEN HE COULD GO TO HER HOUSE AND WEWOULD BE LEFT ALONE WITH OUR PLANS.

SANDY KNEW A WOMAN NAMED RUTH JOWERS AND WAS SINGLE SO SHE FIXED THE TWO OF THEM UP. THEY LIKED ONE ANOTHER FROM THE START AND OUR PLAN WORKED TO A TEE.

RUTH WHO I LKED AND THOUGHT SHE WAS GOOD FOR MY BROTHER HAD A DAUGHTER NAMED PEGGY

PEGGY WAS MARRIED AND LIVING IN BARBADOS WITH HER HUSBAND LOU WHO WAS IN THE NAVY. SHE SAID I WOULD LIKE PEGGY.

THEN ONE NIGHT ALVIN WENT INTO A DIABETIC SPELL AND PASSED AWAY.

THIS NOT ONLY WAS A BAD TIME FOR MY FAMILY BUT FOR RUTH ALSO WHO WAS INCLUDED IN EVERY THING WE DID ABOUT ALVIN. SHE REMAINED A FRIEND AFTER ALL WAS DONE.

I WOULD STOP AND SEE HER ONCE ORTWICE A WEEK AND HER DAUGHTER WAS COMING HOME AND FILING PAPERS TO DIVORCE HER HUSBAND.

RUTH WANTED METO MEET PEGGY BUT I HAD ABOUT THREE GIRLS I WAS DATING AND DID NOT WANTTO MEET ANOTHER ONE. FINDLY I STOPPED BY ONE NIGHT AND PEGGY FRESH FROM THE SHOWER AND IN HER HOUSE COAT ANSWEREDTHE DOOR. I SAID I’M RAY SHE SAID HI

I REACHED OUT GRABBED HER AND TURNED HER UPSIDE DOWN.

THIS REALLY PISSEDHER OFF BUT ITOLD HER I HAD TO KNOW WHAT I WAS GETTING INTO.

PISSED HER OFF AGAIN BUT I HAD MET PEGGY

FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS I WOULD STOP AND SAY HELLO TO RUTH BUT PEGGY WOULD NOT SPEAK OR HARDLY STAY IN THE ROOM WITH US ANDMY TEASING HER DID NOT HELP.

I HAD THOUGH MET PEGGY
