My mom sewed a few of our costumes, but my siblings and I often scrounged costumes from around the house. A bandana, lots of mom’s makeup and jewelry, plus a few scarves and you had a gypsy. Remember the hobo costume? Old clothes, a bandana tied into a bundle and carried on the end of a stick, some of mom’s eyeliner to draw stubble on the chin and it was done. But these days, hobos are called homeless people, and it probably wouldn’t be politically correct to dress up as one.

When I was a teenager, I remember watching TV at Dean Cartmill’s house. Dean was my best friend and one of the most even-tempered people around. Nothing seemed to make him angry. But on that particular occasion, Dean’s dad sauntered into the TV room and greeted us with “Hi, girls.” I didn’t think much of it. I figured he was just being funny.
