But if we hadn't had them around we wouldn't be the persons we are today.. One wonders how the stripper came to such dim circumstances. What lead her to end up stripping for a living? I loved the story but at the same time much sympathy and sadness for herAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11585715799343153695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-36718013219530969812016-05-10T08:18:36.022-05:002016-05-10T08:18:36.022-05:00Very few authors can hook me from sentence one to ...Very few authors can hook me from sentence one to sentence end.

I like to think that most such sordid sides of towns have been leveled to the ground, if such towns were blessed enough to move forward into the 21st century. When I was stationed at Camp Lejuene as a young Marine there was such a street. State Street was its official name. As for me, I never joined the other Marines who would squander their very hard earned money in such establishments. But, I had no choice but to cross that bastion of sin to get to my real God-send, the local USO. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-26646908574527902222016-05-09T09:48:04.324-05:002016-05-09T09:48:04.324-05:00Kenny - (It was Kenny back then) I remember the co...Kenny - (It was Kenny back then) I remember the couple of years I shared in pre-camp slave labor with you and Larry and Harvey and Al - and old Joe barking at you. I was embarrassed for you and learned that old Joe had a different side I hadn't seen in years past. But nevertheless, those were, for me, some of the best summers of my life. I cherish the memories and the friendship we shared way back then.Gene Baruchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-46387960246963282362016-05-09T09:01:58.361-05:002016-05-09T09:01:58.361-05:00The story is made great because of the feelings ex...The story is made great because of the feelings explained!
