My husband entered me in a contest that was running for Mrs. America. That was in 1959.
You had to be an all-American homemaker. There were about 2,000 contestants and I was chosen as Mrs. Pennsylvania. I got lots of prizes and flew to Florida to compete in the Mrs. America contest. I came in third.
It was quite an honor to represent the American housewife. I was very pleased to do that because it's such an honorable profession.
