Just curious if anyone else ran into this lady while down in Jacksonville.
Wednesday I see this elderly lady (no joke, every bit of 80 years old) walking in our direction down Jacksonville beach. She walked like she was doing the Bernie. The closer we got to her I was thinking this poor lady must need some help. Nope.. Just had her red solo cup full of "her special juice" and wobbling around with a name tag that said " Carol- Knoxville Tours" I asked her how she was, thinking she may still need some help. We struck up a conversation, she asked where I was from, made small talk and asked her if we could walk her back just to be safe. During our walk she tells us how she was once lovers with former Knoxville banker that was a Hawkeye fan and had to root for Iowa also.. Crazy deal but hey, we walked her back and said our goodbyes.
Thursday- Pep rally, as we are leaving we see her again sitting on the curb alone asking people to massage her feet. I stop and asked her again if she was ok, she stated yes, her group would be coming down shortly and was waiting on them.
Friday- 2 minutes left in game and the stands are starting to empty and who do we see again? Carol, staggering down the stairs yelling " If I let go of my pants they will fall off"
Not once did I ever see her with anyone. It was one of the most bizarre things I have seen in awhile. Carol was every bit 80 years old and was inebriated each time I saw her but was never with anyone and always had the name tag that said Carol- Knoxville Tours but was never actually seen with a group.
Did anyone else see her while they were in Jacksonville?
