Hi Melissa,
I'll tell you my prom story.
We borrowed an orange VW from my dates brother-in-law and left the motorcycle with him to go to the prom ( I
refused to go to the prom on my dates motorcycle I've rode on the bike in a mini skirt but refused to ride in a gown!).
As we drove to The Latern Restaurant out by the Lake, the right front axle went on the car. My date called his brother-in-law for help. His brother-in-law arrived on my dates motorcycle. My date jumped on the motorcycle to go and find another car that we could use to go to the prom. He looked so funny driving his motorcylce in his long tailed tux!
He came back in record time in his PePe's classic chevy caprice and we were not very late for dinner. There were alot of people at The Latern that night for dinner. Were you one of them or anyone reading this?
Our best friend Pete (Pierre Mailhot) wore a lime green tux to the prom and was dumped that night by the girl he went with because she got back together with her x boyfriend at the prom. I can't remember the girl does anyone else remember her?
After the prom we needed to fill PePe's car with gas and accidently knocked over the pyramid of oil cans in the gas station as we pulled in for gas. The attendant came running out yelling at us, so we left and went somewhere else on South Willow for gas. We were starving from dancing all night so we went to McDonalds to eat. That was before drive thru windows. We had to go in all dressed up! We stayed out most of the night.
The next morning PePe asked my sweetheart in his french accent "What you do to my car?" My darling did not know what to say because we did go parking in PePe's car but how would he know that?
Pepe replied "It has never run so good." "What you do?"
My date explained to me that when he went to get the car he did not want to keep me waiting so he nailed the gas pedal and a hugh cloud of black smoke came out of the car and he left a trail of black all the way down the road. It seems that he blew out all the carbon in PePe's car and the car ran better after we took it to the prom.
Have you figured out my date's first name yet? Lucile Champagne knows him because he is her cousin. Pierre Mailhot knows him because we are still best friends.
Good luck figuring it out!
Barbara
When you guess I'll tell you more!!
