Dad's Last Gift to me - 1985

Played with Kim Daugherty.  Talked to my cousins on the phone.  I had a nice pink fashion coat.  I had 4 Cabbage Patch kids.    Tracy was the doll that my mom gave me. She had blond hair.  Manuela was the little preemie doll that my father got me from the toy story in the old Muskegon Mall.   My Grandpa and Grandma Gonyo gave me the cabbage patch kid named Joe.  Then, my Grandpa and Grandma Thomas got me a cabbage patch doll named Jacob.

September 1985: First Day of 5th Grade




I started 5th grade at Lincoln Park Elementary school. My school teacher was Mrs. Throne. I really don't remember much about this teacher.  I know this year was a tough year for me after my dad's death and all.   I was more shy.    I was good friends with Kara Filius, Cathy Ayers, Bill Daugherty, Shannon Rynberg, and Angela Balcom.    I started to hate going out for recess during this year.    This was the year I met Joe Bailey, whom I had a crush on.
