Well, I know what he was after, and I think you do as well. Yes growing up was tough at that time, I was younger than you but it was similarly that time, a lot of people went to church as it was a place of social activity, not that my parents went church, but they sent me to Sunday school, beautifully written Beth, blessings Roy

Thank you, Roy. I knew I had to fight to make sure I got away from that guy. I think I was tougher that he expected me to be. I really appreciate the six stars.

Yes, I think you might have been in danger.

Thank you for sharing this with us. I was living a short spell and a very small town and the boys came after me like they were coming after bear to hunt or something. I don't know and I just had an awful time with him. And I understand the frustration that you had. Patricia.

Thank you, Patricia. Men and boys seem to think they were entitled to use girls any way they liked back then.

This is a very great addition to your book and I enjoyed reliving the fifties with you. Sorry for your terrifying experience, but I'm glad you did get the one meant for you.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Your judgment was sound from the start and it's unbelievable that you were obliged to go for fear otherwise of upsetting the neighbours. If you hadn't put up such a fight, one has to wonder how this would have turned out. Thank you for sharing this excellent chapter which warms me to your teenage you still more! Take care Debbie

Thank you, Debbie. From some reason, my mother never wanted to believe anything bad about our neighbors. However, she never suggested I go anywhere with him again.
