I met Cara back in April '84--she remembers the exact date since it was the same day her cousin Michael Avino was born. He ended up being the ring-bearer at our wedding, and is now, by all reports, a fine young man who works for MTV in NY. I don't know why I started calling her Chilly P. back then, but 26 years later the name has somehow stuck. How this carving, on Pleasant Pond Mountain, has adhered to a Birch--which is in the habit of shedding its skin--all these years, I don't know. And what do you think became of Denise and Bill? Have they stood the test of time? Hope so..
