shows. I like to sing, too, and
some people think I’m pretty
good. But I don’t sound like
Dolly.
“Two of my brothers are
singers and Richard (her
husband) is a backup singer
for Dolly. Our family grew
up on a farm 10 miles outta
town. We all had chores. I
collected eggs and hoed the
vegetable garden.
“The boys did all the milk-
ing and tobacco was our cash
crop. We had a well and a
spring on the place and we
got indoor plumbing when I
was still little.
“I guess I was spoiled by
my brothers and sisters
because I was the youngest.
They were so glad that I was
the last one."
How could her siblings be
sure she would be the last
child?
“My Mamma always
bragged that she had 11
children and kept her figure

fixed that. I was a Caesarean

thinking of Dolly as a second
mother.
Asked if all the Parton
girls shared Dolly’s
generous figure, Rachel
blushed, smiled and replied,
"My sisters aren’t as busty
as me and Dolly but they’re
not far behind.”
What did Rachel do before
she landed her starring role
in "9 To 5”?
"Well, for two years I was
a makeup artist in town
(Editors note: all references
by Rachel to town’ mean
Memphis, Tenn., as if it were
the only one in the United
States). And then I was a
backup singer for Dolly for
almost a year."
And before that?
"I was a kid.”

jeans, high heels and a white

Dolly told me. Dolly thought

nobody bothered to tell me.
But they said the job was
mine.
"I talked to Dolly about ac-

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (UPI)
- "Unless we die intellec-
tually," Phyllis Mindell
philosophizes, “we’re
always learning to read and
write.”
A 45-year-old writer,
teacher, researcher and con-
sultant, Ms. Mindell has
devoted her life since the age
of 19 to language and how
people read, write and think.
Her mission: "enhancing"
one's ability to think.
Ms. Mindell, of the
Rochester suburb of Pitt-
sford, is co-founder of Well-
Read Inc., a three-year-old
firm designed in part to help
executives in all fields of
work bolster their writing,
reading and communi-
cations skills.
The firm also has
developed a program for
gifted children and people
with a reading impairment
called dyslexia.
She began giving the two-
day seminars for
businessmen, usually at-
tended by no more than 20
people, about a year and a
half ago, when a local
legislator who was familiar
with her work with children
suggested she offer help for
"well-educated adults," too.

MANTECA, Calif. (UPI)
- A lot of people run used-
car lots. Tony J. Lozano is
different. He runs a used-
house lot.
“Your old house may be
somebody’s dream castle,"
Lozano says.
A professional house
mover since 1951, Lozano
buys unwanted houses and
hauls them to his 20-acre
display lot near Manteca in
the San Joaquin Valley 70
miles east of San Francisco.
He sells them mostly to
people with low-income jobs
and good credit ratings.
Lozano’sfirm will help them
find lots,arrange for founda-
tions and plumbing connec-
tions, and in some cases
carry them until conven-
tional financing can be ar-
ranged.
"With a little work, they
may end up with a house
worth four or five times what
they put into it.’
