October 5, 1975 in Warner, NH
Nervous, enthusiastic, and accomplished young women compete tonight in the finals for the title of Miss New Hampshire 2024. As so many of my “Forever Miss New Hampshire” sisters have done during this Pageant Week, I now share a pic of me “back in the day” in 1975. I sport the gown I made for the Miss America Parade on the famed Atlantic City boardwalk.
A warm, loving hello to all my fellow “formers” and all the best wishes tonight and always to the contenders for the 78th annual title. Always remember to wear the crown in your heart and not just on your head.
