Speak a little louder dear, so Mrs. Beasley can hear you.

When I was 9 years old I wanted a Mrs. Beasley doll for Christmas. If you don't remember, Mrs. Beasley was a doll on the popular television show "Family Affair." She was owned by a cute little character named Buffy who was played by Anissa Jones, who sadly, died from a drug overdose. So, anyway, my mom saw my letter to Santa and set out to find me a Mrs. Beasley doll. There weren't many toys in Wilbur where I grew up. Mom tried the Sears catalog, the Penneys catalog and they were all out. Not one to give up easily, Mom called a hardware store at Coulee Dam that also sold toys. She asked the clerk "Do you have a Mrs. Beasley there?" The clerk replied, "Let me check for you." As mom waited on the phone she could hear in the background a page over the loud speaker - "Telephone call for a Mrs. Beasley?"
I did get the doll, although I am not sure where mom finally found her.
