Trish Howard

Trish Howard I was a poor girl growing up in New York city. Born to Joe and Bonnie Jackson we lived in a one bedroom apartment on the third floor. I had ten siblings six sisters four brothers, being the oldest, I took care of them while my parents worked. My father worked down at the textile mill and my mother a bar maid. Needless to say they were busy people. At sixteen I met Kenny and I thought I was in love yet far too young to do anything about it. Soon he was off to chase his dreams to Texas and I stayed behind to help my family. But when 24 came around Kenny Howard wrote to me. We exchanged letters for months until he asked me to be his bride. Remembering the good times we had to gether and wanting to be more then a poor city girl I started my journey to Texas...
