Following the final rehearsal we enjoyed a boxed lunch and a little more time to visit before prepping for the big night. In the photo below from left to right is: Mrs. Gurnee Anji Meidel, Julie, Mrs. Libertyville Melissa Esposito, Monica Skylling-Burke Mrs.IL/AM 99 and Carol Gunnell.
To keep myself busy and I spent some time in the lobby prior to the show. Representing the married women of Illinois as Mrs.Illinois America was an incredible experience. This was a bittersweet evening...needless to say I did a great deal of reflecting on my year and how quickly it all goes by.In the above photo I am with the Illinois Executive Director Marcie Aceto. 
Prior to the Finals with Dee Lane Mrs. Illinois America 1992.
My oldest son Bay, waiting for the show to start. He even brought his sign from Mrs.America!
