    I Was a guest on the Magic Cottage
    Back in the time of the Magic Cottage show, around 49/50 I was a guest on the show along with my older sister, older brother and next door neighbor plus a few other kids. We sat on a bench and were each given a present for appearing, my sister chose a garden swing (sat 4 kids) for our back yard, my brother chose a basketball set and I wanted the only Cocker Spaniel puppy they gave.Our neighbor, my sisters close friend, chose a mixinjg machine for a kitchen. Unfortunately the puppy had distemper and did not survive more than about 6 weeks. I understand there are only 2 surviving copies of the show, How can I get to see these copies, it would be a miracle if one of the saved copies is the one where I and my brother and sister apeeared in.
