This is a true story!
I am a born and bred Mississippi girl, who
met and briefly dated “Morgan” while living with my aunt and uncle in
Hattiesburg when I was 19. Circumstances took me back to Columbus where
my mother was living at the time and Morgan and I lost touch……years
later I was a student at Belhaven College in Jackson and happen to run
in to Morgan one night while sipping on a Budweiser at CS’s café. We
quickly became friends all over again and began to hang out together. He
had a friend named “Don,” a motion picture 1st assistant cameraman who
happen to be out of town filming “Mississippi Burning.” Morgan was
taking care of Don’s Labradors (Courtney and Bree) while he was away
working…..I tagged along with him everyday for a couple of weeks going
to Don’s apartment to care for the dogs. Finally, one day we arrived at
Don’s and he was sitting in the back yard reading the Clarion Ledger and
sipping on a Budweiser. Morgan introduced me to Don and then Don to me –
the first words he uttered were “I’m going to marry you one day!” My
immediate reply was “You are full of shit!” This happened on an August
day in 1988. Our first date was in January 1989 when we actually went to
the movies to see Mississippi Burning – we have been married since
October 1989. |
