Remembering Mary Ann Mobley, Miss America 1959

It is with a sad heart that I return to this blog for the first time since September's competition.  This post features photos of Mary Ann from the 1959 Miss America program book (the oldest one I own).

In a few days I will grab screen shots of Mary Ann in competition (the 1958 competition is the oldest VHS tape I own as well) and post those along with statistics, history, and trivia relevant to Mary Ann and the 1958 competition.
