Halloween 2021

Spooky ...

no, not the song ...  the committee

A little change of pace looking for some audience participation, unless you're too embarrassed.   I was having breakfast with my 6 year old twin grandchildren Sunday, and they were talking about their costumes for Halloween.   They are dinosaur obsessed.   Ethan is going to be Adonimous Rex, and Lucy is going as a Velociraptor.  For some reason, this class of '67 is also costume obsessed.   Why can't we have a picnic without costumes?   We'll, we just aren't able. 

The committee has been talking of nothing but what costume they were going to wear to parties they were invited to.   I didn't report this earlier, because, quite frankly, I'm a little embarrassed for them.   But, as a reporter I cannot hide this story any longer.   An embarrassing list of costumes follows.   Don't think too badly of them.

Mary Ferchen - Norwegian Bandito ... I know what you're thinking, ... there are NO Norwegian Banditos.   That's what we told Mary, but have you tried telling Mary something?   Her husband Wayne ( he's Italian ) is going as an Italian Bandito.   Now I saw The Godfather, so I know in Sicily they had banditos.  ( note: Sicily is in Italy )

Cec Ferrill - Cowgirl.   duh.   C'mon Cec, we know you've got all these outfits but sheeeesh, a cowgirl, ... again.  You should go a bull rider, or calf roper, you've done that right, ... I mean, I've seen you wrangle committee members.

Susan Akers - Country Western Singer, ... she's not just imitating a country western singer, ... she is one.   However, I cannot confirm that since I have not heard her sing, ... so we are relying on our 3 unreliable sources for this.  I have seen her in cowgirl boots, so, it could be true. 

Bill Klemm - now Klemm is always clever in his outfits, ... he thinks about them for years.   And have you noticed they all have something to do with his hair.   He's kinda obsessed with his hair.   He had long dark hair for our Woodstock picnic, ... long white hair for his Wyatt Earp costume this year.   Now he's going as Albert Einstein.   Can't wait to see how he frizzes up his hair for that.    

Steve Favorite - I cannot mention his costume in polite company.   He told me, but I didn't believe it.   He said to ask Kathy Christopher if I don't believe it.   I'm thinking I don't really want to know if it's true.   Am I right about that Kathy?

Stephanie Smith - President.   She's been on vacation in Hawaii, but rumor has it she and Chuck have been home making campaign signs in their garage.   Have you seen what she did in high school, ... they needed 2 pages to list everything she was a part of, so I'm not ruling Steph out of 2024.  This does not mean Chuck is dressing as First Lady for Halloween.   No, I'm not talking about the United States, I'm talking about President of our Committee.   She's going to try to wrest Steve Favorite as our leader.   Et Tu, Steve. 

Kevin Murray - golfer.   We're talking a real fantasy costume here.   Nuf said.

Sue Morehouse ( class of '68 & Kevin's partner, girl friend, sidekick, etc) is going as a caddie.   Awwww, that's so cute.  

Jeanne Fletcher -  now this surprised me a little, but then her husband is Norwegian.   But Jeanne in a shocking show of solidarity is going as a Norwegian Bandito.   Now, Jeanne is the sweetest woman on our committee, ... she's kinda quiet, takes care of all our money, is highly liked and respected, so I was caught by surprise.   I think Mary unduly influences her.  And she has muscle ... remember the Italian Bandito?

I was unable at this printing to verify any other committee costumes, ... but, isn't this enough.  We're not all fools.

We want to know what other fools are out there.   Let us know on "What's New" what you're wearing for Halloween.
