She went to Sears and bought 2 blue dresses exactly alike so she could wash one each night and have a clean one to put on the next day. Then when the program was over she threw them away. I remember they had a sign on the wall "ODD before EVEN" because when you are printing you want 4 on the back of 3 or 9 with 10 on the back.</i></font></div>
