doesn't eat red meat and she's a health-food
nut.
Dawn is also nutty about ghosts. She can talk forever on the subject of ectoplasm and strange footsteps. And she's convinced that the old, old farmhouse where she and her mom live (and where Mary Anne and her dad now live, too) is haunted. She may be right, since there is a secret passage left over from the days of the Underground Railroad. I could easily imagine that ghosts would love that passage.
Dawn's position in the BSC is alternate officer. That means that she can take over the duties of any other officer who can't come to a meeting.
For example, if Stacey McGill couldn't come one day, Dawn could fill in as treasurer. Stacey doesn't miss many meetings, though. She loves her job as treasurer because: a) she's a math whiz, so it’s easy and fun for her, and b) she loves to collect, count, and hoard money! Sometimes we practically have to beg her to "release the funds" for a pizza bash.
To me, Stacey looks like a model. Honest! She has medium-length blonde hair, which is curly and wild. She gets it permed, I guess, though I never pay too much attention to beauty details like that. Stacey also dresses like a model, in outfits I couldn't even begin to imagine wearing. Like lacy purple leggings with big floral tops, or black miniskirts with little cowboy shoes.
Stacey grew up in New York City, which may explain why she is so sophisticated. She moved to Stoneybrook permanently after her parents got divorced. Stacey lives here with her mother, but she visits her father as often as possible. He still lives in New York. Stacey is an only child, and I think because of that the divorce has been especially hard on her. She often feels pulled back and forth between
her mother and father. For example, recently her mother was very sick with pneumonia and Stacey felt she needed to be with her, but she had also promised to attend a special event with her father in New York. At times like those, Stacey tries to please everyone and ends up pleasing nobody. That can't be easy.
