Speaking of Sharon Tate


Earlier this morning someone reminded me of a bit of trivia that I had forgotten about. Not sure if I mentioned where I am now living. If I haven't I am in Richland Washington, a two minute walk away from the Columbia river. One of Richlands famous residents was none other than the beautiful Sharon Tate. She moved here 1954 while in seventh grade when her father was transfered from Texas. Good move. When she was a sophomore at Columbia he she was voted home coming princess. Then, note the date, on August 9th 1959, she was named Miss Richland. How is that for freaky. Exactly ten years to the date before she was killed. Its a sad thing that she had to die so young...and pregnant. By the way, she was expecting a boy and had chosen the name Paul for him.
