My first purchase ever.

I discovered soap opera magazines around the age of 12.  My first was a monthly publication called Daytime TV.  I lived for every issue of that magazine.  There was another one I used to get in the late 70's/early 80's called Rona Barrett's Daytimers.  Then of course I found Soap Opera Digest, Soap Opera Weekly, Soap Opera Update, Soap Opera Magazine.  There were all sorts of them.  It's sad that with the exception of Digest they are all gone now.
