I remember Elaine's mom in my grandmother's beauty shop, Bernhard's Beauty Salon, on 4th Street, with the two-story, white garage that overlooked the football stadium. Mrs. Irwin sat in my MomMom's chair and showed my grandmother the photos of her new house. Â
"What did you daughter do? Marry a rock star?" MomMom Bernhard asked.
Calmly, like she had been there before, Mrs. Irwin answered, "Yes."
