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 in the eighth grade at
Mossville Junior High School (Illinois). Days skipped indicate I didn't write in my diary
on that day. April 1, 1977

Today we went to the Folkcenter.
We had supper with an old cowboy at the rainbow cafe.
I wore my shorts & got lots of whistles from the local boys. FREAKS!
Saturday April 16, 1977
Today was a good day. We had supper with the Yoders. Home-made everything! I fell off a
horse then got back on & rode it. I milked a cow. I petted a pig. I fed some chickens
too. The Yoders are the nices people I've ever met.
This morning we watched a parade. It was a real good day!
Sunday April 17, 1977
We're home now. We got here at about 10 to 5. I'm watching Celebrity challenge of the
sexes. The women are winning, naturally! After this is a show, a spooky movie, called
"World of Darkness." Should be good. It's nice to be home.
Monday April 18, 1977
Today I didn't go to school. I'm listening to my C&T album, "Come in From the
Rain." Lisa is over. It's good to be back home around the people I know. The bad
thing is, tomarrow I gotta go back to school!
Tuesday April 19, 1977
Today was just a normal day. It rained some. A sure sign of changing whether. I got a
letter from my pen-pal. I don't really have anything else to write. So bye!
Wednesday April 20, 1977
Today I got two letters from a couple of retards. They sound real creepy. One of them
calls himself Mr. Wonderful he's 23. And the other is a weird 21 year old lady who can't
spell a word. Maybe I'll get one tomarrow from someone who ain't retraded.
Thursday April 21, 1977
Hi! I didn't get no letters today, maybe tomarrow! It's 8:00. At 8:30 is Three's
Company, with my guy John Ritter. He's really neat. I wish I had a picture of him to put
in here for you. Maybe I'll get one sometime. It's been raining on & off all day. But
I don't mind, it makes the trees & grass a pretty green.
Friday April 22, 1977
I got some stuff from Donny & the Osmonds fan club today. I was sick & stayed
home from school. At 10:30 tonight is the Sonny & Cher movie "Good Times." I
saw it before but only bits & peices. So, I'm gonna watch it again.
Sunday April 24, 1977
Sorry I didn't write yesterday. I fell asleep. Just got done watching the Hardy Boys
with Marie. It was good. I'm listening to my newest C&T album, ain't I always?
Starting this week Richard Hatch and Streets are back on. And Riday my sweetie, John, is
on Dinah. Tuesday is a Mac Davis speacial.
Monday April 25, 1977
Tonight Rick Dees, my rubber Ducky, was on Brady Bunch. He's real cute! He does Disco
Duck. Wednesday he's on Dinah. Yipee.
Well, nothin' happened today. I'll write more tomarrow.
Tuesday April 26, 1977
Mac Davis Twice: Dinah & his show. I'm watching Mac's speacial now. He's adorable!
I got a letter from my pen-pal. Besides that, nothing much at all happened. George Carlin
is on Mac's show. He's funny!
Wednesday April 27, 1977
Rick Dees on Dinah. Grizzly Addams.
Today we went to the mall. I ran into Pick at Penney's. Saturday is our class trip to Six
Flags. That'll be fun. Friday I'm gonna stay all night with Beth. We made Banana bread in
Home Ec. Tomarrow we have to eat it! Oh no!
Thursday April 28, 1977
Streets with my hero. I had the biggest spaz I ever had. Mom & dad wouldn't let me
see Rich on the big TV, cause they wanted to see a movie. So I through a fit. But it
didn't help, I had to watch Rich on the stinkin' portable! 3's company wasn't on. I love
Richard Hatch!
Friday April 29, 1977
