From 'Send Me On My Way' by Daniel H. McCarty . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Cheryl's mother dressed her in ruffles, chiffon and bows. She looked like cotton candy with Betty Boop lips. At 9 years old, she was lowered into the baptismal font at
Troy Baptist. Reverend Bachman placed one hand at the back of her neck and one curled around her bottom. She held her own nose.
Cheryl just loved Jesus.
By 16, Cheryl knew two things. What money could buy and what boys liked. She wanted to quit school and work full-time at Pat's A&W. Her mom made such a to-doo about getting that diploma that Cher hung in there. Now she has it framed and hanging over the phone in the hall.
One month after graduation, Mr. Mason from church gave her a job, in the warehouse of Madman Mason's Discount Tire. Two months later she was working in the front office and covering for Madman's infidelities.
Cheryl was rewarded five days off, with pay. Jimmy took her to Silver lake to camp on the beach. Four months later Reverend Bachman married them in the basement of the parsonage in a wedding dress hemmed with red thread.
