I was just over 3 years old when this snapshot was taken in our house in Grayslake, IL. The older girl with the dark hair is my sister Cathy. As you can see, I'm wearing a tutu that's too big for me; it was a hand-me-down from Cathy. See the safety-pinned gathers that held it around my waist? I was not much of a success at ballet - too little grace, too much impulsiveness. Some things never change.
