It is at the gas station where sometimes I would see Miss Anna sitting in the back of her chauffeured white Rolls Royce wearing what I believe to be a white mink coat, rolling down the window and shouting "hey little paperboy, how are you doing today?" Always, always, always very nice and friendly. Later on, and I don't remember the reason, my route was expanded to include Marvin's house. He was there a lot, but I did not put two and two together to recognize that he was not touring because of Tammi's condition. He called me "my little paperboy" and yes, he would say "WHAT'S GOING ON my little paperboy, do you wanna play catch?" But Anna was a wonderful lady and she tipped very well.
