Son Jim won First Prize in the L’Oreal Paris Golden Getaway Sweepstakes on March 16, 2007! Notice was delivered by FedEx the last day he lived in St. Louis, so how lucky is that? The First Prize is a catered dinner for ten people – NOT INCLUDING ALCOHOL – with an estimated value of $700.

This might prove to be better than the Grand Prize we thought he had won – a hair and beauty makeover plus trip to L.A. to attend the InStyle Awards Show in January, 2008.

Still, can’t L’Oreal tell the difference between “Grand” and “First”? Their first communication said “Grand”; the second, “First”! Who’s on first?
