Dear So and So

guess who didn't have Concord Power and Light some years ago when the notorious "april Fools ice storm hit." Fortunately Philips coffee,where I worked, and the elementary school do in the center of town had electricity so during the day the kids and I were warm and could get a hot meal of sorts. In the evenings candles and our fireplace did stalwart duty for 10 days as we slept around it at night. Fortunately it was not mid winter and bitter cold or I don't know what we would have done.
