Is it wrong to prey that he gets to go home soon, now, and not at Christmas time. For my grandaughters to loose there beloved Pa Pa at christmas time, that's too sad to contemplate. So I am praying for him to sleep deep, and wake up with his Mom, and my Mom. sad Lizzy this fall is a sad time for our family as my Dad lies in hospice care waiting.

Long before "Trick or Treat" crossed the Atlantic we'd torment our neighbours with "AnyTING for Halloweeeeeeeeeeeen" . There was always a party, barnbrack and ,bizarrely enough, coconuts. To this day whenever I see one I think of an Irish Hallowe'en. Then on All Saints it was up to graveyard to visit the quiet branch of the family. True for you about the kids. They make it all so worthwhile. Hallowe’en has always been my favourite. Long before “Trick or Treat” crossed the Atlantic we’d torment our neighbours with “AnyTING for Halloweeeeeeeeeeeen” .

It was one of the funniest, most unique letters we'd get all year. Bob would send a check just out of appreciation for the letter. Now, Mills and Bassett have retired from PBK, so we get a much more mundane, generic fundraising letter and it's no fun anymore. So please tell Prof. Bassett we said so! Love your book -- I am reading it now (She's Not There). Go Red Sox! My husband went to Colby (’77) and we looked forward every year to the Phi Beta Kappa fundraising letter from Mills and Bassett.
