| Cindy opened the show in the costume designed by me. She is a seamstress puppet with tape measures for hair, thimbles on her fingers and patchwork pants. | Kenny someone, he was the piano player for the fashion show (I think he had the hots for Cindy and that was why he agreed to do the show for me) | An award I received for participation | |

| Cindy in a dress she made for the Fireman's Ball | Dec 73 fashion show in Bolingbrook | I was 6ft tall in high school and I think I started sewing in self defense. I could never find things that were long enough. Of all the things I made this robe and nightgown got the most wear. | |

| I am not sure who took the picture but it's kind of funny. The first one we obviously didn't know was being taken. Notice how in the second picture everyone but me is trying to cover up. | Back row: Me, Cindy, ?Meg?, Debbie Sorenson. Debbie, the blonde married a man who always swore he would be a millionaire before he was 30. I am not sure if he made a million but he owned a chain of sub shops. He and his daughter were murdered in the 90's and I have heard rumors that some suspect Debbie. I don't believe that at all. | ||
