Beauties of America Pageant Kicks Off!

clipped from debragilmour.blogspot.com The festivities began early as several of the delegates for Beauties of America including my Oregon's 40s buddy and roommate Deanna Bebeau arrived a day before the event began, trying to get a jump on jet lag!  Illinois's 40s queen Siouxzan Moore (center) graciously organized a pre-pageant dinner gathering for us that was fabulous!   After dinner Oregon's delegates (Deanna and I!) headed back to our room for a last bit of rest before the official pageant began.
