There was no end to her greed. I bet those tickets have fetched a bit more than that since then. I have one that I got for $50.00 on ebay, but you have to be very careful of the fake ones. My dad had tickets to that concert and got the refund. I was so mad at him then. He wishes he hadn't done it now. Great story!
Got my family, my kids, my books and my music, I'm good, yeah, I'm good.....
Sure does sound like good old loving (Money) "cilla"
Best regards to you and yours and again thanks for the great information. Dovey
