[NFBWV-Talk] Sharon Fridley

[A C MCGHEE]

on Labor Day, 1959 I met Sharon. We quickly discovered that we had identical bedroom slippers but hers were a half size smaller than mine. I discovered that when I put one of her shoes on and it didn't fit correctly. I commented on it so we started showing each other clothes to see if we had anything else that matched. We didn't. Following that we had a lifetime of adventures that lasted up until a little over two years ago.

Karen, Sharon and I were sometimes called the three musketeers although there was never a musket.
