...and some couldn't...
get enough of it!

and then there was Friday night before the Mini...

...a bunch of us had checked into the Davis Bros motel in Bartow...unaccountably, a party suddenly broke out in Barbara Conroy Grignon's room, chosen because a) the door was open, b) it was on the ground floor near the pool, and c) because a bar had been set up in it by Betty Ann Sammis Michta, Barbara, and their gang--it was of course properly chaperoned by the intrepid photographer (photo above), temporarily separated from his bicycle-type thing...

after a while we had solid party going...here are a couple of the usual suspects:

...and there'll be others later...

...after a while, Barbara and I decided to walk the short distance to the motel bar to see if anybody else had checked in...before we got to the lounge, a youg twenty-something girl laid her hand on my arm and asked Barbara if she could "borrow me" -- Barbara shrugged ("go ahead, he isn't mine") and curious, followed us across the hall to a large conference room filled with females of all ages--grandmas, moms, and kids, mostly in their twenties. Turned out that I was attending my very first bridal shower ever! At first confused, managed to piece together that they wanted me to judge a contest of gowns worn by four of the girls--and all the gowns were made of Toilet Paper!

Seeing my confusion, barbara did the logical thing to support me--she ran back to our party for a camera, and returned shortly with Betty Ann Sammis and my wife--and the camera, three photos from which are below...and no, I didn't make this up...and no, I've no idea why this sort of thing keeps happening to me...Jack

...with the contestants, all dressed in toilet paper...never saw anything like this before
22
...with the winner, 15 year old Anne...her gown had a 6-foot train
23
...and with my wife Mary, who's still smirking at me that I should have been a couturier..I keep telling her that it's all Barbara's fault...
