Inside was a Midge doll and lots of boxed clothes. Two hand made dresses. A Wedding dress, and a another ball room dress. Oh how Happy I was. Well it wasn’t long after that Mom gave in bought me a Barbie doll. One of my favorite dolls was a Patty Burp! Mom said at one time I had 17 dolls on my bed. Well as I started to age. She slowly gave some of them to my niece. Well one day she gave her my little red rocking chair. I said that does it. I threw a fit and went after it. Now at 68 I still have it.

She just kept saying it and started getting real sad. I’ll never forget that. I’m sure there are a lot of people that remember that story. She was in the well I think 55 hours or so.
