The summer before I broke my leg, my parents rented a home for the summer on King Phillip Ave. in Bristol Narrows and it was there that I really became interested in Odie. I had first met her at her 18th birthday party at the Oak Hill Tennis Club near their home in Pawtucket. And later we got to know each other better! While I was at BC Law and she was at Regis College in Weston, MA, she would come into Boston occasionally and we would meet.
The apartment that I occupied with my PC classmates, Dick Maciejewski and Bill McGair, was an old brownstone building on Newbury St. with a 3 window bay (where we each had a desk), a double door, a non-working fireplace, all with wooden frames that at the top were wide enough to be used as shelves. For several weeks there was a price war on liquor and a fifth or a quart of whiskey could be purchased for the price of a pint. We were able to buy at least one bottle a week and before going to bed we would have a drink or two. We would place the empty bottles a window, door, or fireplace frame, and our collection grew in numbers. One Sunday afternoon, Odie and her parents dropped by before driving her Regis. I don’t know how I survived as a potential son-in-law after they looked at our collection of empties!
