E. Rigby?
November 12, 2008
Annie Mawson wrote to Paul McCartney asking for money for her charity though she was certain she would never hear from the former Beatle. 9 months later she was surprised when a package arrived in the mail with McCartney’s name in the return address. Nervously, she opened it but felt a little let down when there was no money. Instead, she found a 97 year old time card with a bunch of names on it. She scanned the page and put it down with no idea what it meant. Then she looked again. A first initial of E and a last name of Rigby caught her eye as she swooped it off the table. E. Rigby? Eleanor Rigby? This was proof that the character the Beatles had said was fictional was actually a real person. A nice gesture but her charity needed money. It will be auctioned this month and is expected to fetch almost a million dollars. Sometimes it pays to think outside the box.
