throw back Thursday – Ruth E. Hendricks

Laura’s high school classmate and movie actor Richard Sargent (also cookbook author The Horror Movie Cookbook ) invited us to be extras in a film Graduation 2007 but Wikipedia says it was filmed in 2005.

We won’t mention it had a 0% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. 3.08/10 according to Wikipedia. Ooops I just did.

I sat near actor Adam Arkin and he autographed the graduation program.

It was a fun experience.

Thanks Richie.

This photo was taken in NYC 2011 but in the mid fifties this teeny elephant assisted my sister in making me stop crying. She’d be in charge (babysitting) and I’d be sad my parents went out. She would make this elephant appear and then she’d make it fly away and disappear. I’m not sure how many times she repeated this act but I remember believing it was magic.

Don’t know who crocheted this little elephant
