(I love boat rides expecting something big and luxurious) So he came to pick me up and I noticed that he was pulling something in the back of his car. So I asked,“What’s that?” He said,“It’s my boat.” “Oh!” I said “Yeah, it’s a pontoon.” I said,“What’s a pontoon? That’s the boat we are going on?” He said,“Yeah!” We got up to the Hillsboro Inlet. You know those inlets are vicious -- all water going this way and that way, very scary! Anyway, he gets this thing launched. I thought I would die. We are going along, I am in my bathing suit, we get out there in the ocean going south to the point where I can see my building… ET, Wow! I felt pretty comfortable because I could see my building…LOL! All of a sudden, he gets up and starts putting on a wet suit! I exclaimed,“What are you doing?!!” He said he was going down for a while.” Now, he stops in the middle of the ocean and I don’t swim! I had a life jacket on, but when I looked around, there was nothing around us, just ocean! He insisted that I would be fine. I started having a complete breakdown. I was hysterical! I yelled at him telling him that I am NOT the girl for you! I know lots of women let me find another girl for you. Please do not leave me here! Imagine, I couldn’t swim, what if he did not come back up!!! Oh,“You will be fine,” is what he said….REALLY???? To make long story short, he stopped, did not go in. I would have had a heart attack if he left. He did not speak another word to me. He got in the boat, took the wet suit off, started the boat and went straight back. We never said another word. Thank you Jesus! He was an adventurer, that’s not me. I don’t like scary things. It was the worst date I ever had.
ED FLETCHER (80’s)
Ed Fletcher was boisterous and the life of the party. Marilyn and he seemed to be a great pair and have many fun times. He too wanted to marry Marilyn. Guess what... did not happen, so again, this relationship failed to Marilyn’s continued single saga.
