| 27 | Family story from Pauline (Charest (Watson)): At one of the Hairdressers Convention in Providence, Noella took me as her guest. I was about 16, 17 years old and she had to demonstrate on stage how to wash hair, cut hair, put rollers on and style. The winner of this competition would be included in the Hairdressers Magazine and won a beautiful trophy. This was the time when Liberace was famous and so she contacted his manager to get permission to call her creation the "Liberace Haircut" and with permission granted she started practicing on her favorite customer (one of the Fournier Funeral Parlor girls across the street from Mrs Forcier's Beauty Salon on Cumberland Street in Woonsocket.) Her model was tall, blonde and, of course, very beautiful. Aunt Noella was a real professional and her Liberace Hairstyle won first prize at the National Hairdressers Convention at the Biltmore Hotel in Providence. Editor's Note: Noella's sister Rita was a big fan of Liberace and once spent an afternoon meeting and talking with him. | CHAREST, Noella (I10)

| 28 | Family Story from Pauline (Herteau) Watkins: Theresa Griffiths known as Big Terry and always laughing. She used to kid Jeannine that she looked like Aunt Marguerite. Jeannine would put her third finger in the middle of her glass frame and looked at Terry. Terry knew exactly what Jeannine meant. Mom (Teresa (Charest) Herteau) always was close to Terry. These two went on a trip to Florida with Mrs Simonne Glaude to visit Terry's mother in Florida. On the way down they stopped at Parris Island to visit Richard (Teresa's son) who was graduating from the Marines. Neither one of these two ladies knew that Mrs. Glaude (that's what we always called her) had problems with hemorrhoids. The three of them also visited the Washington Monument and "peed" all the way down. The trip was really hard but they laughed all the way to Florida on a shoestring budget. When they returned home they only had 72 cents left among the three of them. This trip is for the history books. | LAPRADE, Theresa (I230)
