I, Margie's mother, forgot to mention in the obituary, that: Margie, and her sister, Beth Reed, were among the Roberta Arwood singers in Pueblo for many years. Margie was the soloist for the Christian Science Church in Pueblo for 5 yrs., when she was just 16, to 21 yo. She travelled with the Pueblo Symphony Chorale to Europe her Senior year of High School at South High, . . and, . . brought back the -best- 8-track tape recordings of German Disco her sister had ever heard , . . Boney M, Rivers of Zion, I Can't Stand the Rain, Brown Girl in the Ring, etc., which, her sister still has. Both girls have perfect recollection of all the best songs through the years, and, could sing them with perfect pitch. Her sister remembers Margie driving fast in her first green Maverick to get to school and Margie's work, Pat Benatar's Fire and Ice, blaring all the way ! What fun ! Her sister also remembers Margie taking-off work at her first job (other than the soloist gig), to, take her to the grand opening of the Pueblo Mall, in '77 ! "I have to take my little sister to the Grand Opening of the Pueblo Mall", she said, to get off work ! The Pueblo Mall Prairie Dog was the mall's mascot, and there, her sister Beth bought a crib for her Baby Alive Doll, . . for $17.00. Thin particle-board and padding, but, priceless, to a little girl, . .to spark the imagination, and furnish dreams.
