Pat of The Company Store

Pat is some 1 who was always at the edge of my life when I was a child and teenager. I gave much thought to the meaning behind her establishment name: The Company Store.

“I sold my soul at the company store.”

What did she mean by that?? But I never asked her.

She gave haircuts in the back. Her husband also named Pat died young. He produced a record with my father called “Extinct Is Forever” about the disappearance of whales but now it sounds a bit different, doesn’t it??

Pat’s husband was a popular DJ at the Southampton College Station WPBX.

The 2 Pats would throw a big Leo party for all the Leos around, which included my father.

Pat was always very nice to me.

I feel compelled to add that I remember some 1 once told me my father was the kind of person who would lead Jesus to the cross. I only came to understand what this meant later on.

I was being prepared all along for this.
