J Harper, thanks so much for posting this. Stumbled upon it by accident. Couldn’t believe my eyes! I was the tall chubby kid with the light blue shirt getting off the bus. Strange feeling to watch those kids I knew. The year was 1970. Your mother was my favorite teacher ever.
Thanks again.

Wicked! I spent several Halloweens in Salem when I lived in Boston. Heard some interesting stories from the locals there…especially about the “Witches & Warlocks” ball at the Hawthorne Hotel. At midnight, the banquet workers lock the ballroom doors and no one is allowed in or out!
