E P I L O G U EPochahontus and Saints-Man broke up fall 1983. For those of you that remember, New Orleans hosted the World Fair from May 12 to Nov 11. The cheerleaders attended often together.Sometime during the summer,Doug, my big brother in the fraternity, decided to ask out Pochahontus. They hit it off and loved bloomed. They married in 1987 . As I recall, Doug and Pochahontus had two kids together. They were married until the early 2000's. After a reportedly emotion-filled divroce, Doug moved out of the house, leaving the house for Pochahontus and the kids. He moved in with a friend of his Shawn. Less than two years later, Shawn and Pochahontus married. Since then, Pochahontus has given birth to her third child.Mickey's fate was not kind. After his fling he started dating a shrew named Jesse, a classic Italian looking girl. Attractive, but not beautiful or hot. She was a complete shrew and a constant nag. She oozed low self-esteem, and they fought constantly. Their wedding in 1986 was Saints-Man and his ex-wife's first date. Every day of Saints-Man's marriage, even though it ended in divorce, was better than every day of Mickey's marriage. They have at least two kids together, and time has not been kind to Jesse.Marty and Tonya married in spring 1985. Both Pochahontus and Saints-Man stood in the wedding. Saints-Man met Pochahontus before the wedding just to make sure the air was clear between them solely as to make sure any of their drama did not spill over into Marty & Tonya's wedding. The meeting went great, and they co-existed seamlessly at the wedding and a good time was had by all. Marty & Tonya are still happily married with four wonderful kids.In the mid-1990's, Marty & Tonya started a tradition of hosting an annual New Years Eve party. I could not attend some years due to conflicting obligations but attended other years. In 1996, at the annual bash, both Pochahontus and Doug and their two kids attended, along with Saints-Man. Both Pochahontus and Doug exhibited some signs of nervousness, but Saints-Man gave them both big hugs and wound up talking to them for several hours. It was a good feeling for all of us to walk away with a sense of peace of how it all turned out.This story is completely true. Some of the dialogue and the timeline were altered solely for narrative purposes. I hope everyone enjoyed and remember one thing:Cheerleading is serious business!!!
And I totally concur with the other post that SM truly got the best of what Pocahontas had to offer. She sounds like a completely bat#### crazy chick.
I'm truly sorry to hear that.Maybe some of your friends from that time have photos you could get copies of.
I can't wait to get back
I am always curious about endings like these. I as all folks had their fair share of hijinks growing up. I chose to move across the country in my early 20s. I wanted a fresh start and there was an opportunity so I took it. I lost contact with everyone I grew up with and hung out with. My siblings stayed behind. I always find it strange to hear who married who and who is dead or in jail. Every once in a while my brother or sister will tell me that someone from back in the day asked about me and I get an update on that person. I sometimes wonder what it is like to be at events as SM did with people/friends that had such a history to it.
