This lady, accjrding to Bruce Oliver, was the most enormous gal Inhabiting West Tenessee. Nobody knew her name, because no one ever got tbat close to her. Just in fun he called her Rosy. She came over to Milan from the nearby town of McKenzie and almost al-most immediately was besieged with suitors. The most persistent of these was Bruce himself.

When the bottom of the freezer freez-er was reached, Bruce, sorely smit-1 smit-1 ten by the fat girl's charms, was Inclined to grow serious In his love making. He wasn't disillusioned even when she confessed she slept In a bed strewn with cinders to prevent her rolling off. Bruce was a persistent cuss, he admitted.
