Show OLIVE O'MARA And to this very day I wonder if he's not right. You kn w what I m an? more or less of a loner. I don't feel obligated to join your group unl sit join and do what I want to do. And I'm not sure it's right. BEC: That your attitude is right? 22 2 2 thi da I'm OLI: Yes, I'm not sure it's right. Here I am at eighty-two and I'm not sure that he didn't have the right idea. For example, this is just personal, the church is a group of women, when they get together, they're friends and I like them and everything, but they talk about other people constantly. And I just have-same as not drinking-! don't believe you should talk about other people. I don't go with them to join them. It's the exact same thing here. They went out afterwards and had a drink. That didn't seem that bad to them and I'm not sure that I didn't take a wrong path, because I still have the same attitude to this day. I will not join a group of people-even if I like them, which I did here-if it's so against my grain. BEC: Yeah, but you may not have been happy if you'd done that, though.

She came back and she saidthis will give you an indication of how naive and immature I really was-she came back and said, "Oh, he said that you have to be intelligent to get migraines. He could find nothing wrong with me." She said, "Among all these questions, he asked me if I ever loved another woman." And I didn't say much to her at that time, but mentally I'm thinking, "Oh, that poor man. The war does such awful things to people. Maybe she ought to report him, because he's had too much." Luckily, I didn't say anything to her 33 |
