I continue to experiment with the visual quality of the columns. We found where Rose had stored the first year of newspapers in which her columns appeared, and this image is from those papers. It should eliminate the crease problem for a while. I have also experimented with a scan app that is on my phone, but I have not yet successfully figured out how to get those to my desktop. I'll keep trying.
From April 22nd, 1982
This is Rose's second column on the doll craze. What was happening in 1982?!?
I know the Cabbage Patch dolls were big, and every young girl was looking to have one. There were also plenty of knockoffs, like the one Alison got in na earlier column. I even saw a story about a local woman in Blackshear who was making them.
The big doll I remember my sister having was indeed a big doll. She stood almost as tall as my sister. It terrorized my Mom when, one day, my sister decided the doll needed a bath and left it floating upside down in the bathtub, only to cause my Mom to go into screaming hysterics when she came in and saw it, thinking my sister had drowned.
