The date: I'm guessing somewhere around 1970
The place: Carlyss, Louisiana
The mood: Watch out Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders -- we are HOT!
This is my sister Denise and me. We were cheerleaders for my brother's football team - the Carlyss Colts. I think the cheerleading coach encouraged me to be a "base" not a "flyer" once she saw the size of my thighs! No one believes me when I tell them I weighed 10 lbs. when I was born. 
My sister can still do the splits. The team had no budget for pompoms. 
My brother's football career was short lived. He moved on to become a VP for Shell Oil. I still don't understand why we don't get family discounts on gas. Help a sister out!
