I can still see the flames shoot up from my witch's costume. I can also remember being quickly placed on a rug and rolled on the floor as well as the singed eyebrows that were left as a reminder of my Halloween misadventure. As an adult, the thing that amazes me most is that I continued to enjoy the fun of Halloween in our small town- the joy of getting dressed in my costume and getting the same treats from the same people each year. Looking thru grownup eyes, I can see the resiliency of youth when they feel support and nuturing after an unpleasant experience. My family (including the Schoolmarm) surrounded me with a feeling of love and security. I was very fortunate. I still enjoy Halloween, and you are a very lucky trick-or-treater if you knock on my door. I give lots and lots of goodies. Happy Halloween, Linda Hi Schoolmarm,
