Mary Grosner e-mailed The Bee to tell us that the mysterious Winkie Girls pictured in the October 17 “Way We Were” column are her sister, Sue, and Karen Pendergast, who appeared in the St Rose production of The Wizard of Oz. A follow-up phone call from Karen Pendergast, now Karen Curran, confirmed the information. Ms Curran is fairly certain that the production took place in 1979, when the girls were in eight grade at St Rose. While moviegoers are familiar with Munchkins, Winkies were the original mischief makers from Frank L. Baum’s book.
