Missing Tooth

 Missing Tooth, September 1957

This is my favorite Norman Rockwell painting.  I have a print of it hanging in my family room.  There is a reason I love it.  As soon as I saw it, I thought, "We could have been the models for this painting!"  It looks so much like me, my sister Joan, and our friend, Debbie Runyun.  Debbie is the one that lost the tooth, I'm the one checking it out, and Joan, who was always shyer is the cutie in the blue dress.  This takes me back to my childhood every time I look at it.  Isn't it great?
