Maggie Wheeler was not a Springsteen fan. If she was going to give her love to a working class local hero, it was John Mellencamp all the way. In 2012, Maggie married Ray (who was a huge Bruce Fan) and like many mixed marriages, they found other common ground. Then something happened. I won't spoil it here, please listen to the podcast and then go read her story - https://www.letterstoyou.net/post/baptized-by-bruce-a-brand-new-springsteen-fan-shares-her-experience Learn more about your ad choices.
