RichardB Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 One Saturday afternoon I was passing the "Corner Pin" at the junction of Shepherd Street and Allen Street, when I saw a woman pleading with her husband for some of his wages with which to pay for the groceries and buy some food for the children. In his mad rage at being interfered with he struck her and knocked her down. This settled me. I resolved that drink, as far as I was concerned, should never be the cause of such heartless cruelty, and signed the pledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 I assume that is a quote from someone else not your good self? It is, but I was being deliberately vague about the person's identity. He was born 1849 so it was quite some time ago (circa 1870). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
