JoAnn Mummc did a marvelous job of organizing and directing the tour guides. We feel confident of this because as of this date we have no reports of anyone who is still missing.
Edith Back researched the stories and legends about the people buried in the ccmctcry and matched them perfectly with the people who portrayed them. She was in the hospital having a broken arm set and came out of the operating room reporting that her nurse. Crystal Labat would portray her aunt. Portia Labat.
We had great publicity. As always. Nan Ehrbrighl of the Sun Herald and Ellis Cuevas of the Sea Coast Echo wrote and published glowing articles about our project, which certainly contributed to the extraordinary turnout. We appreciate your support and offer a very special thanks to both of you. Nan and Ellis.
Every actor and every guide gave award-winning performances.
Mayor Edward Favre. as always, immediately and checrfully approved our request to use the cemetery. His staff headed by Jimmy Loiacano cleaned the cemetery beautifully and provided us with sand ballast for the lights. Thank you Jimmy.

Hostesses at the Lobrano house were Margaret Arnos. Virginia Ludwig. Doris Gendusa. Ruth Chambers. Mollie Malpie and Joyce Schcxnaydcr.
June Bell's homemade cookies were gobbled by the goblins with relish.
The punch may have been served from a caldron and dispensed in paper cups for Halloween, but it was served with a
