L Sothey were working - they were trying tomake money off the army, though? Or AC There wasn't too much to be made off the army. Those people - Mexicans who were in business, for instance, who sold vegetables. Things of that kind to the army. Yes, they - they probably did very well. But we never came in contact with that. L So the Methodist ohurch was themly place you went to look. After youwere disappointed thre, you gave up. Looking for girls? AC Well, actually ... we weren't really looking for girls. Butme of the men who was a Methodist invited us to accompany him for the sole purpose of meeting some good looking girls. This was perfectly respectable. But, after that experience, no, we didn't try any- any other churches.[all laugh] Infact, we never met the girls outside of this one experience there |
