There was a little one bedroom apartment in the back of the house next door
which various people rented throughout the 60s and 70s.
One couple who we referred to as The Captain and Doll lived there in what I would guess
to be around the mid 60s.
They would have these huge fights. I mean HUGE! Chairs and tables would actually fly
through the back screen door out into the backyard. Pots, pans, dishes, beer cans...you name it and it was thrown.
Doll always seemed to have a black eye. They both smoke and drank like hell.
But, who the hell didn't in the 60s and 70s?!
The Captain got his name from the tattoo he had on his arm and Doll got her name
because that's all we ever heard the Captain call her.
The next day after one of their infamous fights, they would be seen sitting in the backyard, laughing, kissing, smoking their cigarettes and tossing back beers.
It was a match made in heaven.
