"The Slice"
columnist Paul Turner |
I was out of town Thursday when Denise Crichton
sent NewsBF an email with a clip from the day's
Spokesman Review, the paper I worked at before I
came to Bonners Ferry in 1991.
The clip was a column by Paul Turner, who I
worked with way back when, and it featured a
friend, Howard Kent, whom I have written about
often since my arrival here.
So how could I not share the October 26 column,
"The Slice?"
"Halloween 1957: Howard Kent and a friend
decided to concentrate their trick-or-treat
efforts that year on a part of Bonners Ferry
known to be a target rich environment for kids
seeking high-quality candy. And they had a plan
to maximize their take.
“'After making our first haul, we returned to my
home, changed into different costumes, and set
out to make a second haul from the same area.'
"All went well until they got to one house where
the owner required trick-or-treat kids to sign a
guest book before he dispensed candy ..."
And you'll have to read the rest of the tale on
the
Spokesman Review website! |
