Oh my…Miss Burlington! My Mom and my younger sister and I used to watch Miss America on TV, always! We would ‘vote’ for the winners. I do remember Linda Patterson being Miss Burlington. My sister, Cheryl, was friends w/her and for whatever reason I tagged along to her home on Winn St (I am sure she was made to take me). I can remember being in total awe that I was in Miss Burlington’s house. Funny 12 yr old that I was. Man, the things that one remembers. So that is my claim to fame….such as it is!
hi Doris, T.M. here, hope all is well, been a long long time
Hi TM!! All is well and hope same goes for you. It has been many years….we should get together.
My brother was doing a little research on our Family Name, Donovan.
He came across the Miss Burlington Pageant that I participated in 1965.
He sent me the info. We had a few laughs over how fast the time has gone.
Thanks for the info. Teri Donovan
