Rocky Road Quilt Block
She met the boy, Raymond Boley, at age 10 when her mother’s twin sister, Ruth Prather Ganote, took them to visit old friends and former neighbors, the Boleys. But she met the man, Raymond Boley, when mutual friends introduced them many years later. Raymond saved money and purchased his first car, a Model A with a rumble seat. As most young men in the prime of life he was adventurous. On one of their first dates he mistakenly turned on a railroad spur and they experienced the thump, thump, thump of trying to get to safety.
It was a rocky road!
Their courtship didn’t end there. Raymond loved to take Betty to his favorite drive in and ask for slop sandwiches. After the car hop got to know him, she delivered his order, potato peelings between two heels of bread. He tipped her a penny and she returned it commenting, he needed it worse than her.
