Back in 1974 several people thought Patty Hearst was hiding out at Model Cleaners in Idaho Falls, Idaho, but it was only me. Apparently I looked a lot like her at the time and everybody let me know it. This quickly became one of my pet peeves. In case you don't know her history, here it is in a nut shell: She was arrested in 1975 for armed robbery and was said to be involved in Liberation army( organized terrorist group) who supposedly kidnapped her, brainwashed her and forced her to do all these terrible things. The FBI was searching for her for over a year. Her pictures were all over the new papers and on magazine racks during that year and during her trial. She was also famous because she was the daughter of millionaire Randolph Hearst and granddaughter to William Randolph Hearst (multi millionaire). So why does she get involved in armed robbery? Duh! She was eventually convicted and sentenced to 7 years in prison, she was released in 2 years, thanks to President Jimmy Carter. President Clinton also gave her a full pardon while he was President of the United States. I recently saw a article of her on the Internet and it reminded me of my haunting past. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone said, "Did you know you look like Patty Hearst? I would be a millionaire too. What do you think? 
This is the only picture I can think of that even comes close. No, I'm not drinking alcohol! I'm actually doing homework in my dorm room at Rick's College. My roommates thought it would be funny to take a picture of me holding a beer so they could send it to my missionary, which happens to also be my husband, sweetheart, and father to my three wonderful children. I used to hate this picture but now it looks fabulous to me. It proves that I was actually skinny at one time in my life. "Ah, the good ole days."
