A Halloween Confession

  I certainly hope the statute of limitations applies here because I’m about to confess to a crime from my youth that continues to haunt me more than any ghost or goblin ever could this time of year. I’m pretty sure it was in the fall of 1959 because I had reached that awkward age…
