My First NEW Barbie Doll

Marla

I had just turned 4 yrs old when I met Stephan for the first time. My mom, sister & I spent Christmas Eve with him & Neil and it is one of my fondest childhood memories. That Christmas Stephan gave me my first NEW Barbie doll. I remember Stephan was so fun to play Barbies with. When my mom wasn't looking Stephan would cut the hair off of my sisters Barbies, & would make the dolls come to life. When I was 6 yrs old, I would beg my mom to letStephan babysit me & play Barbies. He was funner than my mom because one time he lit one of them with a match and fused her hair. It was scary & fun at the same time. He always made me & my older sister laugh. When we moved away I would always ask my mom if we could drive to Sunol to see Neil & Stephan & Stormy. One time I remeber he let me sit on his lap while he drove his jeep down the canyon, I remember that day very well. He always made everything fun. He would say my name Marla like it had 5 "r's" in it. I still think of him each time I think of my childhood in Sunol. I hope he is Ok, smiling somewhere making someone else happy like he did
me. Peace!
