When Melanie and I were in choir at Bowie Junior High we were selected to do the minuet in period costumes. Mrs. Hollingsworth had big plans for the spring concert. Of course, I had squat for a hint of satin pants a gentleman would have worn in the 1800'! Melanie came up with all we needed and we were famous for about 14 minutes, probably less. She was fun, a can do person, and I will miss her forever.
