The secret to glamour and sophistication? One word: Aquanet
Lisa's mom writes: I spent 4 hours scanning my "Baby Book." This was the last page I added. This was best friend in Jr. High, Linda Sylvester. Her mom taught 5th grade in our Elementary School. She is now Linda Hunsaker. She moved to Roy, Utah as I started HS. (9th grade was my hardest year). We shared our Senior pictures.
Swan Lake in Clearfield, Utah
Lisa's mom writes: Joyce is in front of me :) Our beautiful costumes were made by our mom, June Catmull. The colors in the pictures have faded. They were chartreuse with silver sequins and the prettiest purple with more silver sequins. Lisa writes: I think I dressed up in at least one of these costumes for Halloween as a kid.
1967-1977 St. Louis, Missouri
Lisa writes: My family and the family of mom's best friend, Marilyn McAllister. This was while my dad was at dental school at Washington University at St. Louis (a university which no longer has a dental school -- don't worry Dad, nobody blames you). We were living in a duplex on Rankin Road in Brentwood, MO. Wild mint and pussywillows grew behind our house. I went to Mark Twain Elementary School. The playground had a jungle gym shaped like a covered wagon. We had a parakeet named Tweety (we always had a parakeet named Tweety) and our basement was carpeted in free 12"x12" samples from a carpet store. My grandparents visited and grandpa left his false teeth on the nightstand next to the bed when he slept. The Mississippi River rose and the little tributary creek behind our house flooded the neighborhood. I've been to the top of the Gateway Arch and I've eaten French fries from the McDonald's riverboat.

Esme, the weasel, and a squeaky toy
Lisa writes: The baby is Esme. The weasel is Debbie's ferret, Morena. And the squeaky toy is just an innocent bystander in the whole affair.
