In the fall of 1973 Tommy and I were living on Savannah Avenue in Monroe, LA. He was working for Commerical Insurance Companies as a claims adjuster and I was working at First Baptist Church, Monroe. Tommy had heard that State Farm Insurance was going to be placing a new agent in Bastrop and he wanted to apply for the position. I wish that I could tell you that I supported him in that wish, but I did not. I was 21 years old and as far as I was concerned life was going along just fine. We both had good jobs, had bought a new house and had a relatively new vehicle. Besides, he had moved me 1000 miles away from my family, so why couldn't he live at least 25 miles from his. Being the driven man that he is, he went forth with his desire and made the necessary contacts to find out how he could apply for the position. He just continued to tell me all the positive things about the position and figured I would "jump on board" sooner or later.
