a trip!
7. What a happy reunion - there is Frank Sweeney and me (he was the
Vice President of Miss Universe, Inc. the year I was Miss USA) what
a good friend and confidant. Thanks Frank!
8. You may recognize the first judge, Ernie Hudson from
Ghost Busters, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle and The Crow. What a

like queens, all over again. (Check out the life size poster behind
us!)
14. I think this is one of my favorite pictures; I call it "Then
and Now!"
15. I have always loved doing volunteer work. Here

Mary Therese Friel, (AKA Cinderella) and Kent Friel, (AKA

enchanted the students of Gananda during "Let's Read" week. The
students were
warm and receptive and the Friels enjoyed every minute of their performance.
Kent and Mary Therese Friel appeared before a crowd of Girl
Scouts, taking the time to talk to them about the importance of
self esteem & show them some modeling moves. The girls were
adorable and caught on very quickly. Kim Barrett, the coordinator,
was a charming hostess.
