I was ROBBED Robbie Bosco!
By my lunch lady of all people!

When I was eight years old Robbie Bosco came to my elementary school to talk about his big win. I was very nervous and shy but I managed to get up the courage to ask him for his autograph. He said “of course!” He shook my hand and smiled which sent my little girl heart pounding! I then handed him the only paper I had which happened to be my lunch ticket punch card. I had several lunches left on it and I asked my teacher if I could have it back when the card was full she said, “of course”!
I was thrilled and couldn’t wait to tell my Dad and older brothers who were huge BYU fans! They were so jealous and I was on top of the world! I even wrote all about it in my journal when I got home!
But the next day much to my horror when I went to lunch I had been given a brand new crisp lunch ticket that did not have Robbie Bosco’s autograph!!! I asked my lunch lady what happened to my old one and she said, it was getting so old and worn out so I gave you a new one. I just said, “ok, thank you”. Then I got my lunch and with my head down I silently cried while I ate my peanut butter brownie.

That was 40 years ago and I am still mad at that lunch lady who is probably very sweet but had no idea how much that autograph meant to me. Of course my brothers now doubted that it ever existed in the first place because they knew how shy I was. They never thought for a minute I would have to courage to ask for his autograph.

So Robbie! If you are out there! Or if any of you know how to reach him. It would mean a lot to me and that shy 8 year old girl inside me to get your autograph!
