Although most of us would LOVE to be the part of this article, I have

????? Meets The Cowsills
- and invites YOU to share her glorious day with your favorite family at Atlantic City's famed Steel Pier!
January 1969
16 Magazine
Fourteen-year-old ???? ???? of Long Island City, New York, won 16 Magazine's contest "Meet The Cowsill Family" and for one whole glorious day - Thursday, August 1, ????? was the tenth Cowsill ! ?????'s dream day took place at the famed Steel Pier in Atlantic City, N.J. Unfortunately, Dick Cowsill was stationed at Ft. Gordon, serving Uncle Sam, but all of the other Cowsills were on hand to share ?????'s day - and happily pose for this "family" portrait. They are (from left to right) 16
s Editor-in-Chief Gloria Stavers, Barry, Bob, ?????, Karen and Bill Cowsill, Susie, Mini-Mom, Paul, Ellen's real-life mom and dad, and John. The Cowsills' dad Bud was there too. (He's the one who took this pic for all of you to see!)
|
And who do you think were the first two Cowsills to greet our lucky little Cinderella? Why, it was those Prince Charmings - Barry and John!
| |
????? then sat down in the Cowsills' private dressing room to chat with Bill, Susie and Paul. Of course, Susie's black poodle "Subar" had to get into the act too!
| |
Bob, who always seems to have a book in his hand, happily takes time out from his reading to meet his "sister for the day".
|
Barry couldn't resist posing with ????? and he insisted on wearing his crazy little cap ... But that was only cos he wanted to give it to Ellen as a souvenir of this wonderful day!
| |
But John soon whisks ????? away with his promise to show her the greatest card trick ever!
| |
"Bet you didn't think I could do it, didja? Well, to tell you the truth - I even surprised myself!"
|
????? heard a sneak preview of the Cowsills' single Poor Baby and even got to sit in on one of their private rehearsals. But her day is far from over! Be sure to pick up a copy of the February issue of 16, which goes on sale December 24 - and see what happens when the Cowsills take Ellen through the Tunnel Of Love!
