Lester

When I was little I saved my money for a ventriloquist doll that I had seen in the JCPenney catalog.  I finally was able to buy it and I was so excited.

Meet Lester ... and friends ...

   

Creepy Right?  But, I loved him.  I took him to school with me and entertained my friends with him during lunch and recess time.  I remember doing Bill Cosby routines with him and my friends cracking up.  It was so fun.

Sadly, he got tucked away in my mom's attic and when I retrieved him years later as an adult his head had melted a bit from the heat so it was a little crooked.  I took him home, but he lived in the trunk of my car to later be put in the giveaway pile.  Poor Lester.
