On September 1, BethAnn's niece Stephanie had her bat mitzvah in Seal Beach, CA, and BethAnn, her mother Ruth and I flew out for the weekend. Late Saturday afternoon, Stephanie modeled the gown she'd worn in a recent "Miss American Pre-Teen" pageant, and BethAnn then tried it on — and fit into it! Next thing you know, Ruth got into the act, and I snapped this picture. From left to right, you're looking at Stephanie, her mother (and BethAnn's sister) Carol, Ruth and BethAnn.
