My foster sister Pauline Shepherd was in the same class as I even though she was a year older and thus Leesa's age. We had a lot of fun together but one time for Homecoming we almost made mom and dad faint. Pauline was in the Homecoming queen contest and for part of that contest they had to make a cake to sell at an auction. Pauline made, what looked like to me, an exceptionally good cake. It was german Chocolate with a special coconut and brown sugar frosting. So during the auction I did what any good brother would do for his sister and that was to try to run up the price on the cake. I succeeded and it was close to $ 100.00 before I quit at the thought that I really didn't want mom to faint. I didn't buy the cake but the person bidding against me did the second I stopped. It was a lot of fun and luckily I didn't win. I think though that it made Pauline's night.

How did your school celebrate Homecoming?
We celebrate Homecoming during basketball season since we had no football program. We always had a formal dance and that was about it. I don't remember any Homecoming king but we did have Homecoming Queen contests that were pretty intense. In fact Marie was Miss Congeniality for one of them.

Did you ever have a "good friend" who did something mean to you?
I apparently had good friends. I cannot recall any of my friends ever doing something mean to me.

Tell about a memorable birthday cake?
It was my 19th birthday (and now my 57th one also.) My sister in law made a cake shaped like a camera (and my daughter made one also shaped like a camera only she added the strap to it as well.)
