It was Chef’s 15th birthday last Saturday. His mother had arranged for a celebratory parade of vehicles through our neighborhood, including fire trucks and a police car. Chef’s parade reminded me of the time when an antique New London fire truck, filled with children, woke up Tomie on his 50th birthday, September 15, 1984. Janet and David Kidder, and others, had organized this greeting. (Thanks to Kathleen Belko for the photos.) (Bob)
