CHAPTER 21
Work was a bit of a shock after the weekend. We had a couple of domestics that turned nasty, and that really brought a few things home to me. We had a remarkably strong family, all things considered, and clearly Tony’s much smaller one was just as strong. Enid in particular was someone I decided never to get on the wrong side of, which raised another thought: I was making so many assumptions about her son and my sister, particularly about the permanence of their new arrangement.

Interlude: Rich Bromely, the young man from a small Pennsylvania town was abruptly introduced to the world, a man’s world, in 1966 when he lost his student classification that deferred him from the draft just as the Vietnamese War was heating up. Rich graduated from Johnstown High School, attended a small community college for two years and met a girl named Brandi.

They became engaged shortly before Rich enlisted for four years in a special program, a program that would likely keep him out of Viet Nam.

(Miri finally takes some action about her 11 year old son but not before she thinks things through.)

Chapter 9

FROM THE EDITOR: There is a mystery here. Some of you have guessed... sort of... what it might be. While some things might seem cruel, all may not be as it seems.

We rejoin our teens as they are about to enter the mall. Stick with this story. Regardless of how things might seem, I promise a happy ending.

Now, I am old.
The strange friendless boy whom no one liked or really knew, is now even stranger.
