The Easter Bunny at Broadway Shopping Center

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 | Uncategorized

Yesterday we received the following  interesting email from Patti Smith.

“YOU ARE PROBABLY GOING TO THINK I AM CRAZY, BUT, EVER SINCE I WAS A SMALL CHILD, I HAVE WONDERED WHO WAS THE LADY THAT DRESSED UP AS THE BEAUTIFUL EASTER BUNNY AND WALKED THE SIDEWALK OF BROADWAY SHOPPING CENTER GIVING OUT CANDY TO THE CHILDREN? I AM NOW 54 YRS OLD,  FOR 30 YEARS EVERYTIME I SEE THE SHOPPING CENTER I THINK OF THOSE INNOCENT AND EXCITING TIMES- THE ONLY PEOPLE I COULD THINK OF THAT MIGHT REMEMBER THIS OR COULD FIND OUT WHO SHE WAS IS YOU!I WONDER IF SHE IS DEAD OR ALIVE? I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO TELL HER HOW BEAUTIFUL I THOUGHT SHE WAS- WITH HER WHITE FURRY BUNNY SUIT, HER RED LIPS, SOFT VOICE AND LONG BLACK FALSE EYE LASHES, AND BLUSHED CHEEKS! SHE GAVE US PASTEL COLORED CANDY EGGS THAT HAD SOME MARSHMALLOW IN THE MIDDLE. SHE PROBABLY DID NOT GET MUCH RECOGNITION FOR THIS,BUT IF WE COULD FIND OUT WHO SHE WAS, I WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT THE NEWS SENTINEL AND MAYBE WE COULD DO A STORY ABOUT HER AND THE JOY SHE BROUGHT TO SO MANY CHILDREN! AND, EVEN BETTER STILL, IF SHE IS STILL ALIVE, I WOULD LOVE TO MEET HER AND TELL HER WHAT THAT MEANT TO ME PERSONALLY.”

One of our employees has worked here in the Broadway Shopping Center since back in the sixties when she worked for Woolworth’s.  She knew the Easter Bunny lady’s sister and remembers the sister’s last name was Monroe but doesn’t remember any more details.  If you can help Patti write to her at goodnurse120@charter.net or write directly to me, the webmaster@belewdrugs.com

Thanks
