Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie and Clyde (Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow) were infamous bank robbers who traveled the central United States during the Great Depression, often with various members of the Barrow gang.

Meeting

There is some disagreement over how Bonnie and Clyde first met, but the most prevalent story is that it was through his friend Clarence Clay. Clarence's sister, Bonnie's sister-in-law, had a social gathering the evening of January 5 1930, in the Dallas neighborhood of Oak Cliff. "A bored, lonely, young, out-of-work waitress, abandoned by her imprisoned husband, goes over to her brother's house and meets a charming young fellow. Nobody thought it was anything special. Nobody guessed where it would lead."{{ref|knight}}
