We were both born in different parts Florida, where we lived until we were about three, but we never knew each other. We both moved to the same part of Missouri and that's when our families met.
I thought Tessie Hamacher was the most fantastict little girl ever, but oh so snooty and bossy! Well it turns out, she thought the same of me. We kind of avoided each other whenever we saw one another, until we were both cast in Fine Linen Drama's You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown when we were nine years old, both as "Lucy"..go figure. We actually became friends and one night at a rehearsal I asked her to be my pen pal - we wrote little notes to give each other at every practice, and in her first note she asked me if I wanted to be best friends forever.
Bunches of adventures and laughs and sleepovers and pictures and hugs and stories later, we're still best friends and now having a blast in our 10th show together. Isn't that a precious story? But truly. She's stuck with me through thick and thin, good and bad, has seen my best and worst, and I couldn't ask for a better friend. I love her bunches, and plan on many, many more years of being "friends forever!"
