A Treasured Doll Comes Home AgainCarol received her last childhood doll at about eight or nine years old. The bisque doll had yellow braids, opening and closing eyes, and a pouty mouth; Carol dressed it in outfits her mother made. After years in storage, she rediscovered it while unpacking after moving to 11th Street in Moline and told Dee how remarkable its survival was. A few years later, about 1986, Dee secretly had a friend mend its body and provide a new dress, wig, shoes, and socks. Dee presented the restored doll on a stand for Carol's birthday, making it one of her best birthday gifts. At the time of writing, the doll was over fifty years old and proudly displayed on Carol's dresser.
