Y'all Skip To The End. It's Much More Interesting Than This Stuff.................. Right out of school in 1967, me, Paul LeBourgeois and Leslie Rogers went scuba diving down the eastern coast of FL. From The Cape to The Keys. Got back, stuck out my thumb and, ending up in Hollywood, married my first wife in '72, Cathy Coats from Nashville. Met her on Venice Beach, CA; She was doing a Photo Shoot for some Mag. She was 1968 Miss Tennessee. Found my way up to San Francisco after the 1 yr. marriage ended. So, after 4 years in Hollywood and 2 years in San Fransisco, CA. I returned to Lafayette to sell kilos of marijuana I bought in Juarez Mexico. Made a small fortune. Next stop Austin,TX. But first, on that visit to Lafayette, I met a girl dancing topless in a bar on that highway to Opelousas), Wanda Williams, from Baton Rouge. That was wife number 2; she was Miss Teenage Louisiana in '68 or '69? Stayed in Austin, Texas for a couple years. Next stop, New Orleans, Louisiana. Left Wanda in N.O. to come to NY. {Still haven't divorced Wanda Sue Williams as of this update, Dec. 2014.} Never did divorce her and never stopped loving her. Next stop New York. Marriage number 3 was to a Miss Carol Everingham from Manhattan, lasted 5 years. My first daughter, Michelle was born. I adored my litttle girl, but hated her mother. Divorced her, got permanent sole physical custody of my baby. (Had cleaned up my dope problem a couple years back). Michelle and I found our way to Belle Harbor, Queens, NY. Bought a gorgeous little house right on the Atlantic Ocean Beach. Marriage Number 4 was to a Cute little Italian Catholic girl, Debbie, from Brooklyn, where we now live. Married 27 years. We had five more children. Two more girls, besides my little Michelle and three boys. Raised 6 children and loved it! Still do. They are ages (girls, 27, 20, 18). (boys, 26, 25, 22). Have two grand children. A little boy and the cutest little three year old baby girl. Had 42 jobs since High School. Hitchhiked around the U.S. between marriages. Remember the Hippy years anyone. Front '68 thru '75, I had the best times of my life. Haight Ashbury in San Fran. to the Boulevard and Sunset Strip in Hollywood, Ca. Too many chicks to count, too many rock concerts to count and too many drugs to count. So was Miss Teenager whatever, Wanda Willams, wife #2). Damn, I could count the times that just me and wifes #1 and #2 slept alone; just husband and wife. I'm telling you guys, it gets boring ... kinda like looking at your old man's Playboy's. You just out grow it. But, thankfully, not Carol, #3; and certainly not the love of my life, Debbie were heavy into chicks. [very seldom Deb brings home a "present".] And Certainly, the kids are all out of the house. Either married, own their own houses, roomates in apts., or off to college. A man gets sick of Sex, Drugs and Rock Roll pretty fast when you live it 24/7 for so many years. It's not that big of a deal. I'll just have hundreds of pretty cool memories and volumes of polaroid pictures for when I'm 80 or so -- To glance at pictures of an era long gone and a young Vince, 24 years old. And, of course included the not so fun ones. The two times in jail in San Fransisco County, three times in Los Angeles County prison, Once in New Orleans County, four times right ...Expand for more
