Show 0 I OP: hat wa or th h n ymo n hich I n r g t t g n did I get a lot of ribbing from that (laugh ). BEC: Oh. So how did you and Bob get together? SOP: Well, like I told you I worked for the lady and I would go home to my mom and th n at night I had to go back to the bus. And I was waiting on the bus ride on Ninth South- JEA: It was by Grandma's house? SOP: Kind of close by Grandma's house. Ninth South and State Street, I think it was. Something like that. Anyway, I was waiting there and right there was a big pool place, a pool hall- Circus Bar I think they called it (laughs)-and Bob was a real pool shark. So anyway, I was waiting for my bus and he came out and he had a friend. I'll never forget that either. And he said, "Hi. What are you doing? You want a ride?" I wasn't about to go with that guy. JEA: Where was he? Was he in a car? SOP: No, he was walking, he was going to his car and he saw me standing there and he said, "Do you want a ride?" And I thought, Oh, I'm not about to go with a guy like that. Then he said, "Let me introduce you to my friend, to my good-looking friend." Ralph Lindor-have you ever met him? JEA: No. SOP: Well, he was not good looking, but later on I found out he was a real nice guy. But he looked kind of like a chimpanzee (laughs). BEC: (laughs) He's dead now, right? SOP: (laughs) Well, anyway, to make it short, he said, "Well, you don't want to have a ride?" "No," I said, "I'm waiting for my bus." He said, "Well, you ever feel like it, give me your phone number and I'll give you call." And I have to tell you, I was terrible lonesome when I first came 39 |
