The best Halloween I remember was a night Dad and I dressed up and walked down to Deblock’s. We were completely covered head to toe and we refused to speak for fear that the DeBlock crew would figure out who we were.
But we did drink!! A lot! What a great night. I remember Pete and Donalda laughing so hard while Dad chased Carolyn around the kitchen table.
Good times. Lots of great memories. My heart hurts for my friends.
