All these photos were taken when I was around 17. The two in the strapless, floaty dress were taken just before I went to the prom. The others were taken by a family friend, Dr. K. Hirsch.

Found this!

With the above ‘invitation’ to the Prom, I found a little note: “On Thursday, May 26, Mike Katz and I went to the Junior-Senior prom, the dinner was nice. I think I looked extremely good but my feet hurt. Mike liked Heidi at that time so danced with her mostly. Otherwise, I had fun.”

Why my feet hurt!

One thing about getting old, you can look back at yourself (via photos) and realise you weren’t at all unattractive! All during my childhood, and teen years I believed that I was ‘funny looking’.  I obviously wasn’t ‘pretty pretty’ or ‘beautiful’ but I think I wasn’t really too bad!

And, by the way, my hair in the prom photos was held in that strange position by at least one full tin of hairspray!
