Memories A Fall Im Goldwaters Store Phoenix

Back in 1959 I was eight months pegnant
with my son Robbie . I was shopping for socks
for my hubbie I had to search all over the store'
for a cashier to ring up my purchase.
Happy because I got a bargain on the socks'
and because my hubby was going to pick me
up so I would not have a return trip to Tempe
from Phoenix I did not glance at the floor
The entrance to the store had a broad step
down when you exited the place. I tripped and
down I went on my broad rear.
Now three people rushed over to where
I sat, shocked that I had fallen. One was 'Mr.
Goldwater himself with a paper for me to
sign absolving the store of any guilt in case
I was injured.'
The other two rushed to help me and my
husband Garland was first. He told me not to
sign any paper at all. The other was a woman
clerk who asked me if I was okay.
So I did not sigh it. Your opinion my lotters
was that necessary to pop that stupid paper
under my nose instead of helping me up?
I had no intention of suing anyone as I was
not badly hurt.Just embarrassed.
But I will say this when my son was born
a month later an anonymous person paid the doctor
bill.The clerk told us it was Mr. Goldwater.she thought
but since he had shown no sympathy I was not so sure.

First if he had been a Gentleman a real one he would have run to pick you up.
He would have stayed by you and not start to shove Papers of this and that under your nose.
You were pregnant and he should have behaved like a real Man should.
He should have phoned for an Ambulance and got a Doctor.
Anyway I am so glad that Garland was with you and the Birth was fine.
If it was him that paid the Bill it was certainly no way to act when you fell.
He did not give a good example to the Store either.
Wonder what the other Ladies around thought of what happened?

Probably thinking exactly the same as you too hats.
I just hope that there are not too many men like him around.

you think he would have helped you up, brushed you off, tried to offer you a bigger discount to sign or something
