    I knew Sandy when she appeared at Adie's Fantastic Facts and Feats in Wildwood, NJ, during the summer of 1978. The theater was located in the Boardwalk Mall. I was 11 years old at the time, and I spent that entire summer in Wildwood. I can remember walking throughout the Mall with Sandy sometimes, along with other friends, while she wasn't working. As kids, we had the privilege to just hang out with Sandy outside of her show. She truly was very polite, funny, and had such an upbeat attitude on life.

    Well, she did have a bad curvature of her spine when she walked. That started back in the late 80's. And all those other health problems caused her to stoop. So, she does look a few inches shorter than her normal 7'7 1/4"...

      @@rivermarie8500 You should try to et your facts straight there RM. Sandy had another brother & a sister so she was 1 of 4 kids altogether(by all of them having the same mom). She first met her sister when she turned 18 & got her license. It was 1 of the first things she did when she had wheels was to go meet her sister in another town. They were very close & they would meet as often as they could but the sister lived in Florida & Sandy was all over the place (Canada, Indiana, etc.) Sandy has said in interviews that she wasn't close with her other brother (just the younger one Mike). Are you related to Sandy by her sister then Kloey?

      After her death, a guy in an interview said he (& others) helped move her into her apartment on Simcoe St. in Niagara Falls Canada. According to Google maps, there are several apartment buildings on the street (the area might've changed some since the 70s). Hope that helps you out some.
