Archie Brown was about as unlucky as nay boy ever was. At least, that is how he felt when he came down with some disease that ruined holidays off from school. When he was in third grade, he came down with pnuemonia on the day of the Christmas party at school. In the ninth grade, the day he again was attacked by pnuemonia, this time on the day of dismissal for the Easter break. Both times he spent much of the time off in the hospital.
When he was in the sixth grade Archie went to the Saturday matinee on the day after shcool had been dismissed for the Christmas holiday. When he arrived home, his mom, Betty Lou, asked him about the spots on his neck and face. Archie had come down with Chicken Pox. It was a light case, but Archie was house bound for a good portion of the holiday season. Not feeling bad made it all the worse.
Unluckiest boy in town!
