	Dear Janice, Working at Sears on Hillsborough Ave, and 22nd Street was the first art job I had. I worked in the Advertising Dept. Working there is where I met both Patsi and Sharon. One Easter Sharon and I decided to dress up like giant Easter bunnies and go around to four of the children's hospitals in the area with our big Easter ( laundry ) basket full of candy and toys for the kids. Oh, we were grand, standing at least seven ft. tall including the ears. We were all white. I had a giant, two ft. wide blue crape paper bow tie and Sharon had a pink one to match her pink yarn bangs and huge pink paper rose on top of her head and pipe cleaner whiskers. Grandmother Ash made the body portions of the costumes and I made the heads and the hands. The hands had big pink felt pads glued on the palms. Before we went to the hospitals we wanted to go by Sears where we both had recently worked and knew a lot of people but not let anyone know who we were. The only thing you could see of us, not speaking at all, was if you peered deep into the eyeholes. We couldn't drive to Sears with the masks on and we didn't want anyone to see who we were, putting them on in the parking lot. So I thought it would be a good idea to park across the street behind the Seminole Bank and put the masks on there. A very bad idea. Who would've thought the guards would've come tearing out of the bank with guns drawn! Let me tell you it took a lot of fast talking to get the rabbits out of that brier parch. And that was our Easter adventure. Lynn
