As mentioned, he got my sister's friend Celia (2 yrs younger than he was) pregnant. They ended up living togther and having the baby. He graduated from school, she did not. Celia got a job selling shoes, he didn't work. His Mom babysat the baby while Cellia worked. About a year into their relationship he started knocking her around because he imagined that she was boinking her big fat boss because she was made manager of the shop, (she wasn't boinking the guy, she was just good at her job). I left town as soon as I turned 18, to come live with my Dad down here in California. I know all this because my sister stayed up there and she kept me abreast of poor Celia's plight. Will was a mama's boy and he never grew up. Eventually Celia left him and ended up raising the baby on her own.Elizabeth Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150221675618198674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-51383137035264021392009-08-27T10:33:21.861-07:002009-08-27T10:33:21.861-07:00Happy Birthday!!

Befriends you, invites you over to his house, feeds you, likes you enough to kiss you, shares some personal stuff with you. He certainly was less-than-nice to spread stories about you and so forth after you "broke up", but... well, you were there, I wasn't, so I'll stop. You knew him.

Me included. Think of it this way, if you live to be a hundred or more, to start thinking of yourself as old now is to have thought of yourself as old for most of your life. Don't do that! Wait til the very end! <br /><br />And that high school guy...quell schmuck indeed.
