> She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he was only 22) and he fell in

> Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock

> BRENDA. He walked out only to see her start walking up the road. Next
> day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a
> ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he

> work. She simply said it wasn't possible.

> He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't

> Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the following

Got this in a e-mail today. Probably a lil dramatized but a good story about Warner and his character.
