confirmation day


On a Sunday morning in April of 1962 I was confirmed into the church.  I was fourteen years old.  I was part of a large confirmation class that met every Saturday morning at the church and after much study, memorization and testing, we were deemed ready for church membership.  This is my special dress that I wore for the first time on that special day.  The cotton dress had puff sleeves and a fitted midriff and it was a beautiful light aqua in color.  High heels, oh yes!  Do you like my corsage?  Carnations.....my favorite.  Being confirmed was one of those right of passage moments for me.  I now belonged to something big.  (It was a good hair day for me, too)
