Bill was then in an all-male college called Princeton, and he had a friend named Frank, and he said, Bill thought it would be fun for my mother to come down on one of these weekends
dances and so forth.
And he said, you know, Mary, why don't you come?
I think you'll like this guy.
So my mother came and spent the whole weekend at Princeton and she had a terrible time.
She didn't like him one bit.
He drank too much.
He was too forward.
She wished she had stayed home at Vassar doing her homework.
So it was a failure.
It might not have been intelligent, but it was a failure.
Then, fast forward a year or so, and Bill says, I have a friend I want you to meet.
And she's thinking, no way.
And he says, no, really.
I really think you're going to like this guy.
He's the brother of a woman I'm dating, and I really, really want you to meet him soon.
And my mother, probably intuiting the strategy of small losses, agreed to meet this other guy for a drink, right?
Not a weekend away, but a drink.
And lo and behold, this new guy named Bob and Mary hit it off right away, really liked each other, had a great deal in common, and they ultimately married.
And those are my parents.
