June 27, 1980 Minneapolis
With the wedding two days away, I was glad to be relaxing at home for the evening. The boys had taken Jim out for his bachelor party that I insisted not be the night before the wedding. I didn't want hung over people at the wedding.
"I can't believe you're letting Jimmy have a bachelor party." Mom said, walking into my room.
"Oh it won't hurt anything. A lot of Jim's old team mates from college, came in and of course all the boys from he USA team. I think Mac said they were going to talk Craig Patrick into going!" I said and giggled.
"Are you nervous about the wedding?" mom asked sitting on my bed.
"Not really nervous about marriage, I just want everything to go smoothly. I mean now Jim and I have bought a house here in Minneapolis. We bought our house in North Easton. We'll stay close to our families. I am just so excited to start my life with him." I said.
"For the past few months while planning this wedding, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you growing up." Mom said. "I remember that Christmas when you were just a little thing; Patti and Herb didn't have kids yet. We were at their house a few days before Christmas and you decided you had to sit Herb's lap the entire visit."
I giggled. "I remember being little and sitting on Herb's lap. He was very snuggly to a child. Sometimes he'd tell me stories, always about hockey."
"Do you remember those little plastic bracelets that you played with? The multi-colored ones?" Mom asked.
"No, why?"
"You used to hang those on Herb's ears; said they were 'his earrings'." Mom laughed.
"I can't imagine Herb sitting still for that." I said.
"Oh he would laugh and laugh." Mom said.
"Herb has always been close to me." I said. "Remember that wedding we went to, when I was about 10 years old? One of the coaches from the U got married."
"Yes, you were dancing on your father's feet, and then Herb cut in and you danced on his. Patti cried stating she couldn't wait to have children." Mom said.
"How is daddy doing? You know about the wedding and all?" I asked.
"Well he is very relieved that you got a house in here town. He was scared to death that Jimmy was going to take you far away. He knows Jimmy will be good to you. And the other day I caught him cleaning up your old tricycle." Mom said. "He says he 'just found it and was looking at it' but I know he was really thinking 'grandchildren'."
"That won't be right away, Jim and I want some time alone first. Although Bah is very interested in me having children." I giggled. "Long story."
"It's very rewarding being a mother. I loved every minute of packing lunches, school plays, PTA, puppy love, acne, the prom, Andy Gibb and the Bee Gees." Mom said.
"You were such a great mom. I never worried about anything. I was so happy and felt so safe at home." I said.
"And you're welcome back here anytime." Mom said and hugged me.
"What are you going to do with my old room?" I asked.
"I have no idea. I've toyed with the idea of a sewing room; perhaps a guest room." Mom said.
The phone started ringing. "I'll get it." I told mom and ran downstairs.
"Hello?" I picked up the phone.
"Georgy, thank God I found you." Mac said from the other end.
"Mac, what's going on? You're supposed to be at Jimmy's bachelor party." I said.
"Don't get mad, but there's been a problem." Mac said.
"What kind of problem? What's going on?" I demanded.
"Just stay calm everybody is okay, no one is hurt." Mac said.
"Then what is the problem?" I asked.
"Well, remember how you INSISTED that OC have the party at a strip club with a 'look only, no touching policy'?" Mac asked.
I asked, getting impatient.
"Well, Silky got really drunk and jumped on the stage with one of the girls. She tried to politely get him back to his seat, but he started dancing like 'Saturday Night Fever' and tried to get the stripper to join in." Mac explained. "Well the club bouncer jumped in and got a little rough with Silky so OC jumped in to help out Silk. Then a second bouncer got involved; causing Jimmy, Verchota and Christoff jumped in to help OC and Silk. Next thing we know, the police are there and those involved in the fight are being arrested."
I groaned and leaned against the doorway. "What do I need to do?"
"Well most of us just brought cash tonight, you know one dollar bills." I could hear Mac snicker. "So we don't have enough to get them out, could you come down and bail them out?"
"Yeah, yeah, I am on my way there. Tell everyone to relax, not to argue and I'll be there ASAP." I said and hung up the phone.
XXXXxxxxxxXXXXXX
I walked up to the police station to find a lot of the boys waiting outside for me. I walked up and hugged Mac.
"You were supposed to keep Jimmy out of trouble." I said, mock-accusing.
"You know how Silky is when drunk, there is no telling him not to do something once the idea gets in his head." Rizzo said.
"The rest of you boys okay?" I asked, looking at them.
"We're fine." Buzz said.
"Were any of the boys injured in the fight?" I asked.
"No, everyone was okay, just tempers flared and such." Janaszak told me.
"I'll go get them." I said and headed inside.
I walked in and saw several officers sitting at desks.
"Excuse me, who is in charge here?" I asked.
"Depends on what you want." An officer said to me.
"I am here to bail out the United States hockey team!" I said.
"Who?" another officer said.
"Those boys you arrested at the strip club." I replied.
"They're hockey players?" a third officer chimed in.
"Not just hockey players, they were on the USA team that won an Olympic gold medal back in February. Didn't you recognize them?" I asked.
"Didn't have time to pay much attention." The first officer said. "One boy was drunk off his ass, one was throwing the mother of all tantrums, and one was trying to flirt with a female officer, while the other two were kind of quiet."
"Well what's it going to take to get them out of here? One of them is getting married in two days, while the others and the boys waiting outside are all groomsmen." I said.
"She's not kidding; they really did play in the Olympics." A fourth officer jumped up, holding papers. "We have a James Craig listed here, he was the goalie. I have a Sports Illustrated with him on it."
"Sarge, do we have to charge them? They're heroes. They beat the Russians!" the third officer said.
"Yeah, let 'em go Sarge. You know that 'Club Le Femme' is entirely too strict about their dancers. What's the point of seeing strippers if you can't grope little bit?" a fifth officer joined in.
I started to feel like I was in the 'Twilight Zone' listening to these officers carry on.
"Besides, you know guys, if one of their buddies is being threatened, they're gonna jump in to defend them." The second officer said.
"Awww, turn them loose. Consider it a wedding present for the one that is getting married. Chalk it up to boys being boys." Sarge said. "Go get the boys out of their holding cell."
"But wait, won't the club press charges?" I asked.
"Don't you worry about that. I'm sure that once I tell them who their bouncers assaulted…….national heroes and all…..they won't want any bad publicity." Sarge said.
After a few minutes, the boys were brought out.
"Georgy, boy are we glad to see you." OC said. "We wouldn't be here if you hadn't insisted that we go somewhere with no chance of Jimmy touching another girl!"
"I just got you out of here so hush up!" I told him.
"How'd you talk them into dropping the charges?" Jimmy asked and hugged me.
"I didn't. Once they found out who you all were, they decided to just drop the charges." I said.
"Where is that lady officer that was here earlier?" Verchota asked.
"Come on, Philip. We need to get out of here." I said. "Where is Coach Craig, he would never have let you boys get into so much trouble."
"He left early. Said at his age, if you've seen one topless woman, you've seen them all. And unless Dolly Parton was there, he was bored!" Christoff answered.
I laughed; that was a side of Craig Patrick I couldn't imagine. We walked out of the jail building,
"Did they beat you with a rubber hose?" Christian asked when we walked out.
"Nah, Georgy actually talked them into dropping the charges." OC said, as Silky stumbled and leaned against a light pole.
"I can't leave you boys alone for a minute!" I pretended to be angry and put my hands on my hips. "I should call your parents!"
"Now that the jailbirds are free, where to next? The night is young!" Bah said.
"Do you boys think you can stay out of trouble?" I asked.
"We'll be fine, and we'll sober up Silky." Ramsey said.
"Georgy, you mind if we go somewhere else?" Jim asked.
"Quit being whipped, you ain't married yet!" Baker yelled.
"Well she did just get us out of jail!" Jim said.
"I don't mind at all. I want you to have a fun bachelor party." I said and kissed his cheek. "I'm gonna head home and relax. And all of you better be at rehearsal tomorrow evening!"
"Night Georgy!" Jim said and kissed me.
I turned to walk towards my car, stopping halfway there. "And no picking up hookers for entertainment!" I laughed.
"Yes Mother!" Johnson said in a high-pitched voice.
