You are known by the company you keep. I spent company for 25 Years of my life with a Bad boy man called Alexander Elliott Wright. We were lovers and lived together in Key West FL or Beaufort SC. He was the last of my previous ill-chosen life partners.  Ellie and I had mostly on times and several off times depending on how we delt with the unresolved issues that sometimes plagued the relationship. I met him in Key West when I was about 50.  He was a few years older.  Elliott was a charming loveable "bad boy" his whole life.  He went to prison for nine years for bad behavior in NYC.  Did another year and half for bad behavior at Butner NC during the time I was with him.  And his picture appeared on the front page with seveal others of the Key West Citizen claiming they were the most dangerous people in Key West  I was 50 in 1988, Opened the Garden in 1993 at Xmas time
Introduction to Elliott.  My life was a mess. Twice married twice divorced I was married to my
 third husband Sean Connoy.  Worst choice of my life. He was a dangerous wife hitting violent alcohol and drug addict. He said was going to kill me and  knew how to do it so no one would suspect him.  He said he had learned how to kill with his bare hands in the Military and he could hit my nose in a way that  he could drive the bones in nose into my skull and kill me  I was psychologically terrified. This was all happening at the same time movie the Shinning 1980
