Here's a reprint from the Collectors Newsletter published November 2002:

My sister's Mother-in-law, who is 76 years young, told me a story about being 
an 11 or 12 year old girl and receiving a Shirley Temple doll as a gift.  She 
was mortified since she thought she was far to old to play with dolls.  Her 
father was remodeling their upstairs bedroom and the floorboards were exposed 
in some areas so she hide it in the floor of the house she grew up in.  The 
house stayed in the family for over 50 more years and was only recently sold 
outside the family.  As far as anyone knows the Shirley Temple doll, still in 
the box, is still hidden within the framework of the house.  Karen C.
