Taylor P Well, that question has traveljed.suph an awful lot of miles Pd better a&iwer it. Here js the answer; 'Nosir* — and that's definite. • ' ' ' • "We are good friends," Bob and % but no marriage plans or anything lifce that. My marriage wjth Mr Frank Fay has jus.t recently been dissolved and I couldn't go through all that again. "I suppose you'd call me.disilluaioaed.
