[> Subject: No, Laura Bridges never competed again from my research. I would never of either, Laura Bridges had every right to competed in Miss New Jersey and to know that the real winner was from PA and never even attend school in this state. I feel awful for her and her family who followed the rules/

[> [> Subject: If I remember correctly that was Laura's 2nd year and she also aged out. I also do feel she should have won. Even if Toni was a legal contestant.

[> Subject: The only time she placed was when she was 1st Runner up...total fluke! She was a terrible singer. She was only 1st runner up to block the 2nd runner up from winning. Legal or not, Toni was the best contestant that year.

[> [> Subject: Who was the 2nd runner up? Also 3rd and 4th? Why did they not want the 2nd runner up?

[> [> Subject: agree she wasn't the greatest singer but if you remember Elizabeth Ward, she wasn't a great singer either but had a 'look" and good interview and won Miss A. Laura had a good interview and 'the look'. Don't get me wrong, I like Toni but I think Laura was a better all around package. Neither of them were going to do anything at Miss A but Laura really looked like a Miss A - talent or not.

[> Subject: I don't really know who Ms Bridges is or was but I do think it's interesting to hear stories from the glory days of Miss NJ and Miss America. I was just a kid then but think it was more competitive and would be interesting to hear more stories about it so why do people knock discussing it? It's part of the pageants history
