NORTH GEORGIA DRAMA A mimic farce

Narrator reads:

Once upon a time----just a few years ago----in the north Georgia town of Ellijay there lived a beautiful young lady by the name of Mollie O’Toole. Her parents, who worked in the apple orchards of the area, did their P T A and child-rearing jobs well. They bought Mollie an Apple computer and supported all of her efforts to be a star pupil. She was chosen Valedictorian of her class and described in the Yearbook as the one “Most Likely to Succeed”

Mollie was ambitious, and her beauty and skill helped her to become the computer expert at the Gilmer County Bank with the title of Computer Programmer. In this position she designed and set up a unified computer accounting system at the main office and each of the branches of the bank. Her skill and pleasant personality earned her the respect and admiration of the entire staff at the bank.

During her school years Mollie enjoyed her frequent visits to the O’Sullivan residence up on Skyline Drive, several blocks from the more modest home of the O’Tooles on Magnolia Street. Mr. O’Sullivan became an expert watchmaker and jewelry merchant following his apprenticeship in Savannah. The success of his shop on Fort Street enabled him to build a beautiful dwelling with a large recreation room in its daylight basement.

Mr. O’Sullivan encouraged his son, Sandy, to invite all of the children of the neighborhood to gather in his play room to enjoy games and refreshments at any time it could be arranged. Because of her beauty, charm and wit Mollie was always invited, a fact that led her to regard the O’Sullivan play room as a second home. Association with her three brothers was never as much fun as partying with the Sullivan crowd.
