STEPHANIE
                                

On Saturday October 2, 1993 at around 4:30 pm., one of my son's
best friends, Stephanie Monn, was last seen riding her bike
around our neighborhood, and ever since, my sons and many other
children miss her very much. I too, miss her very much.

When she would come to our house and play with my son, she would
also want me to participate in their games. A tough little cookie
she is, somewhat of a tom-boy, and always with a beautiful
disposition, and a smile. A free spirit type of girl she is, and
now our lives have an immense void since we can't hear her
laughter and see her smile, or her boyish-frisky type of walk.

All of our neighborhood knows her. There isn't one person she has
not stopped to talk to, even for five minutes. No matter the
subject (but especially fishin'), she enjoys talking with you,
and she listens to us "old" ones with great attention, but also
with a little skepticism in her eyes. That's because she doesn't
take anything for granted.

I sit in front of my computer, and I wish I could go back in time
and stop whatever it is that is keeping her away from us now. I
see her mother and father quietly cry, and also her sister and
brother.

 Perhaps you have read of her on the newspaper (Philadelphia
Inquirer, Gloucester County Times, Courier News, etc.) or perhaps
you have seen the news on TV (Ch.3, Ch.6, Ch.10, Ch.29), and
perhaps you as a parent or just as a human being have felt the
pain and anguish that her parents and all of us who love her feel
for her.

But besides us adults, there are also many kids; her friends from
school and neighbors, that quietly go to bed thinking of her
every night, and quietly shedding a tear because they miss her. I
know this, because I see my son "C.A." and his brother Julian
quietly talk of her, and quietly say that perhaps Stephanie won't
come back to play with them.

There are two GIF files along with this README file. They are
pictures of Stephanie. All I ask from you is to Upload this ZIP
file in its entirety to as MANY BBS's as you possibly can; and
also, to keep an eye for her.

You see, we don't know if she drowned in the nearby creek
(affluent to the Delaware River), or if someone has taken her
away. And, of course, we hope she is still with us.

As a fellow BBSer I ask you to help us out so our children (and
us) can enjoy her company and laughter again.

"C.A.", Mike, Julian, Bobby, Angeline, and many other children
miss her very much.
