The real life of a '70s teen ...

Webmaster's note: All spelling and grammar remain original, and what you see is actually what appears in my 1970s diaries. When this month was written, I was 14 years old and a freshman at Illinois Valley Central High School in Chillicothe. Days skipped indicate I didn't write in my diary on that day.

You ain't gonna believe it! In the mail I got back a 8x10 of C&T I sent to them to autograph. Toni wrote "Keep Singing Julie! Toni Tennille '77" and Pooh put "Ahoy! from the Captain or Daryl" & the letter from Mrs. Cicotti bout the shirt I made Pooh (Aug 10) says: "I want you to knowhow impressed Daryl was with your work on the shirt you sent him. Really, no one has ever sent him one quite like it. He appreciates all your hard work & he said he would wear it. He wanted to make sure you got this message, Julie, & he also thanx u 4 being such a loyal fan." WOW!!!!!

Tonight in my diary, I'll write a prayer for my ma, who is still in the hospital:
Please lord, help my mom make it safely through this problem. She doesn't deserve to be in pain, for she has never hurt anyone. So, I only ask you to let her be well soon and come home to me and the rest of us who love her. Amen.

Thursday, October 20, 1977

Today I skipped school. I shouldn't have, cuz now I feel kinda guilty.
Thank you lord for answering my prayer. Mom is now out of the Coronary care unit and into a regular room. I'm really glad, she should be able to come home sometime soon!
