After Dad died in 1971, Mom started making some questionable decisions. One summer day in 1972, Skippy brought a couple of guys over and left them with us. They just stayed with us for months. I never knew their real names. We called them Johnny and Roy (after the two guys in the TV show Emergency) One was AWOL from the Marines, and another was AWOL from the Navy. They lived with us all summer, fall, Christmas, and Spring. Sometime before summer, they left.
"Johnny", Jeff, Tabatha, Me, and "Roy" just before we left to do a performance at a Christmas Recital. We kids weren't smiling because my siblings were going have to sing a duet, and I was gonna have to play 3 piano pieces by heart. And we were nervous.
Jeff, "Johnny" Tabatha, "Roy" and me. It was Tabatha's 6th Birthday.
