About the Book
This is a book about a 1954 Miss California contestant that met the local news photographer, who courted her, later married, and followed with three children. On Aug. 9 she celebrated her 80 birthday with her children, grandchildren, and friends. The history in unique, as her new mother-in-law was also Alice, so they shared the same name in this relatively small community for over 40 years. Today there are the Vestal girls, professionals with families, and this book highlights the past 70 years - and her party and the off-spring having fun at Lake Tahoe (CA).
