This was Stockbridge, in MA, right :-?
That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a
thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't
get up until the next morning, when we got a phone call from officer
Obie. Said "Kid, we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a
half a ton of garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any
information bout it". I said "Yes Sir Officer Obie, I cannot tell a
lie, I put that envelope under that garbage."
