I
.
Gertrude worked as a Thrifty’s drug store cashier through the
40’s and then married a television grip. She knowingly flick her cigarette,
lean on her elbows and say, “listen, I know, I was a cashier at
Thrifty’s”.
II.
Fat Lena who married a wealthy Entrepreneur . The wealthy
entrepreneur developed agoraphobia and read aviation magazines all day. The
same three magazines. They burnt through the wealthy Entrepreneur’s
inheritance. They had four sons, three died of heroin, one went to jail. For a
while, no one heard from Fat Lena or husband. She came back, said they had gone
on vacation, got the inheritance back. But then they went to Santa Anita and
lost it again. She worked as a coffee shop waitress until she was 70. Fat Lena
was everyone’s favorite.
III.
Ruth got out early, married to an aerospace guy and didn’t talk
to the family.
IV.
Maya knew an abortionist in TJ and she had the phone number.
When you got pregnant and you didn’t want to be pregnant anymore you called
Minerva and she would set you up with the doctor in TJ and then maybe spend a
night in her East LA house recovering.
V.
The girl who had the most abortions, Melody, and had the worst
pill problems met a guy from the neighboring city. They found God and they
built a house for him in ranch lands. Many people came to the house of God and
gave Melody and her husband lots of money to make sure their house of God was the best and the most Holy. Melody crusaded
against abortion in the 1970’s and raised more money to carry the crusade into
the 1980s. When her husband and children died in a plane crash, Melody made the
most money then retired.
I am related to all these women.
By blood.
