Re: Halloween Costumes for us

[Pamela Lawrence Spencer <pamespen@TENET.EDU>]

Here in our part of Texas (just outside Houston) there is an _unspoken_
ban on Halloween activities in the school. Fall decorations are okay, but
leave the teeth off the pumpkin. Scarecrows may adorn the library, but
ground the witches. I'm sorry to see this generation miss out on what was
such a fun-filled, exciting holiday for us old folks.
