before." Chris comes in. Sandy runs over and hugs Chris.
Sandy is delighted to see Chris. Lee asks, "Hey kid what are
you doing walking around here all by yourself." Chris says
that the native bearer wouldn't bring him any further.

Sandy's new perfume. Sandy suggests that they eat at the new
steak house in White River that's supposed to be terrific.

Sandy seems to always be in good spirits. Lee says that
since the "playboy" took over the garage, he has been working

getting a full scholarship. Lee says that he and Chris are
all alone. Chris asks about Sandy.
