FILLING IN SOME OF THE BLANKS ABOUT PRAGUE
I got a nice e-mail from JoAnn Yerem, the Viewpoints editor at the LA Daily News. She has filled in some of the gaps in my fuzzy memory about the Prague Thanksgiving 10 years ago. She assures me that her own journal writing was as useless as mine, and has given me the OK to reprint here what she had to say about that night.

"I just read your remembrances of 1991's Thanksgiving. It really was an amazing day. Tom and I made the pumpkin pie. My mother sent me my grandmother's family recipe for pumpkin pie, which started with "3 cans of Libby's..." Yeah, Libby's in Prague! It took us forever to find pumpkins and make it from scratch. The actual making of the pies took all day. I think we made 8 of them and then had to get them to the potluck. It was a great, great holiday. The only Thanksgiving I have not spent at my parents' house in my life. But it was one of the best ever. I miss Jo Bloom."
