Some of you do not know who Bonnie Parkey and Clyde Barrow were. The were two criminals. Well I'll tell you the story of those two and you better listen for this1

is a story to listen to.2

Bonnie Parker was born on October 1, 1910, in Rowena, Texas the second of three children. They lived in poverty. In highschool Bonnie was an honor roll student. She excelled in creative writing. She was small and atractive as some said.3

On September 25, 1926, less than a week before her sixteenth birthday, Parker married Roy Thornton. The marriage was short-lived, and in January 1929 they separated but never divorced. When Parker died she was wearing Thrton's ring. A 4

couple years later Thrton was sentenced to jail because of burgalary. He was gunned downbecause he tried to ecape out of prison.Those were harsh times and jobs were hard to come by.5

There are a number of versions of the story describing Bonnie and Clyde's first meeting, but the most credible version indicates that Bonnie Parker met Clyde Barrow in 6

January 1930 at a friend's house. Bonnie was out of work and was staying in West Dallas to assist a girlfriend with a broken arm. Clyde dropped by the girl's house while she was 7

visiting at a friend's home, and Bonnie was supposedly in the kitchen making hot chocolate. They did not meet, as legend has it, while she was a waitress.8

When they met, both were smitten immediately and most historians believe Bonnie joined Clyde because she was in love. She remained a loyal companion to him as they 9

carried out their crime spree and awaited the violent deaths they viewed as inevitable. Her fondness for creative writing and the arts found expression in poems such as "Suicide Sal" and "The Story of Bonnie and Clyde".10
