BILL CADY Word Count: 149,227 - At My Friend's Place

Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 134
was born! If it hadn‟t been for Grandpa Thurston, who knows? I might still be mopping
floors, trying to pay off my servitude indebtedness.
I met Shirley. She seemed like a nice person, but I‟ll be more honest with you
than I was with her. We didn‟t ever associate much because she looked so damned much
like him I didn‟t want to see her face. She and I are also shirt tail connected another way,
but I‟m not sure if we‟ll include that in this part, or not.
Back to my bastard status.
I mentioned some step siblings earlier. Mary, Kay, Jeannie and Allen, plus
Shirley, whom you‟ve now met. My understanding was the others all lived in the Detroit
area, but I could be wrong. I know Dad also had a sister, Mary, who lived in Jackson,
Michigan. That‟s a long way from Lansing. A good thirty-two miles, but I never once
met the woman. Guess you can say I wasn‟t brought up to value family ties as much as
most other people.
Of those five people, I estimate I‟ve spent a collective twenty hours with them in
my life entire, so I don‟t know them at all. If you meet any of them, please send me a
brief bio at my web site, http://www.atmyfriendsplace.com/contact/. As for that David
thing, I haven‟t had much to do with him since 1973, which you‟ll discover before much
longer. If you learn anything about him, please keep it to yourself.
“Fast Fred” married a woman named Betty years before he ever hooked up with
“Slow Millie”. The ceremony was in a Catholic church. He had four children with
Betty, then they divorced. That‟s something right near the top of that church‟s “no-no”
list. You might even grow to where you despise each other to the point you make life
hell for everyone living in that house, but you must stay married, no matter what.
