Nancy Merrill is sponsoring a photo challenged entitled Nostalgia. Here is my take on the matter:
I think the year was around 1952. We were gathered for a play put on by the two cowgirls at the top of this photo. Susan, the tallest girl and also the older sister of one of the cowgirls, doesn’t look overly enthusiastic about being there. I was the little blonde girl overacting in the second row and the sister of the other cowgirl. I was their “mystery personality.” Anyone who guessed who I was (The Sunbeam Bread Girl) got a prize. They put on a few of these productions and I always thought they were wonderful. The year before, my mystery personality had been Bonnie Braids (of Dick Tracy fame.) When they called out, “Who knows who the mystery personality is?” Bobby Lathrop yelled out, “That’s Judy Dykstra!!!” and I cried. Ah, nostalgia

Kool Aid stands in my neck of the world. And we’d bag popcorn to sell as well.

We used to put on plays in our neighborhood, too! We had a funeral home just a block away, and they let us borrow some folding chairs for ALL those in the audience:)

Patti and Karen, the two cowgirls, were two creative little showmakers.

My sister’s friend across the street used to write plays for us to do with her sisters. We always had so much fun rehearsing and performing them. There were about 40 kids in our neighborhood who were involved, and our parents were so happy to have us busy and safe during the long summer afternoons. What wonderful memories!
