ONE HUNDRED FOUTY

This was the 140th participant. The cast was taken in 1995. She was 35 years old and a waitress. She had contacted me when she heard I was doing an exhibit in the city she lived in. She confided in me that at one point she was 125 pounds but that was several years and a few children ago. She felt that she didn't really know what she looked like now, particularly from the backside. After the cast was taken, she was thrileed with the results. I well remember the night of the opening for the exhibit her piece was a part of…I saw her beaming as she, her husband and children stood in front of her piece looking at it. They all loved it and were proud that she was a part of this.
