Taylor
Made
Rick Taylor
ONCE IN A WHILE SOME ONE will ask
how Ol' Taylor - Made came to be kooky
enough to get involved in some of the things
he relates to an unsuspecting public through
this space.
Well.....maybe this will help explain just a
wee bit.
T'weren't too long ago when this department
decided to help out the AT&T stockholders
and dialed Gonzales to listen (that's what I
said---you don't talk to the women in Tay-
lor-Made's family, you listen) to his sweet
mother for a few minutes.
Stepfather Mickey Reaves answered and im-
parted the surprising news that Lee (that's
mama) was in the hospital in San Antonio.
Being that she's the only mother Ol' Taylor-
Made has ever had, he immediately got the
name of the hospital and its phone number
and the room number from Mickey, broke the
connection and dialed San Antonio.
When the hospital answered, ol' tightwad
here was quick to inform the young lady
he was on long distance and was calling Mrs.
Lee Reaves in room such-and-such.
Well, the phone rang and rang and rang
in her room, but there was no answer.
With all types of disturbing worries dancing
around in his head, Ol' Taylor-Made hoped
she was just down the hall for tests or had
checked out or had.....
Finally, the switchboard broke in and told
this department that the room didn't answer---
boy, talk about letting him in on a big secret!!!
He already knew that!
Anyhow, she offered to dial the nurses'
station on the floor so maybe the lost patient
could be traced.
By this time, Taylor-Made's palms were wet
and he was shaking with fear---with all the
gory scenes from a hundred Dr. Marcus Wel-
by shows assaulting his mind---and another
red hair or two had turned white.
The nurses' station answered and Taylor-
Made's voice was almost breaking as he de-
manded to know where in the heck his mother
was.
"Oh, Mrs. Reaves? She's down in the beauty
shop getting her hair fixed," was the chuck-
led reply from the nurse.
Wow!!! Can you imaging that? Here her only
son in a state of near hysteria and Lee Reaves
is paying $100-plus a day for a hospital room---
to get her hair fixed?
What happened was that it was Saturday
and Taylor-Made's English-teaching mother
had to be back in school early Monday a.m.
and there was no way she was going to school
without getting her hair done---hospital or
whatever.
Ol' Taylor-Made can see it all now. Neg-
lecting proper medical attention, Lee Reaves
will struggle to school one of these days and
collapse from the strain.
And as they carry her out for medical
attention, some one will say:
"Poor Lee, she just pushed her body too
far."
"Yes," someone will agree from the crowd,
"but didn't her hair look nice as they were
putting her into the ambulance?"
