Creighton’s Mother-in-Law — The Shirt Story
Barbara Patterson is Creighton Collier’s mother-in-law. She is the one in Jim’s stolen-shirt story — not Becky.
Jim had steam coming out of his ear that team tees were walking off. Barbara had taken a couple for herself. He told her she was one of the goddamn thieves and went back to the pits.
