Birth location[edit]

Untitled[edit]

Previous edits indicated Pender's birth location as St. Petersburg, but some citation is needed. Her being crowned Miss St. Petersburg may be the source of this location which may not be her hometown. She lived in middle Georgia in high school and still has family in the area, was she born there? Civilengtiger (talk) 17:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
