"October 29, 1992: To Norfolk in evening with Greta -- visited Irene. Workers brought their youngsters for Trick or Treat.
October 30, 1992: Pinochle at Elsie J.'s.
October 31, 1992: Light rain in p.m. and evening. Only 17 here for Trick or Treat.
I hadn't heard about the nursing home employees bringing their kids for Trick or Treating. What a nice gesture. I'm sure a lot of the residents/patients enjoyed the little faces. I like the word "youngsters", by the way.
I don't know that Grandpa ever wore this nose for Halloween, but he certainly could have.
I have plenty of childhood memories of Halloween. One recently came to mind when the father of one of my Norfolk elementary school friends died. I don't remember what I wore for clothing, but one year I had a mask of a lady with red hair. Not real hair, but shaped on the mask like the face. I remember the face was rather normal-looking, but serious, too. I guess maybe it looked very funny on a little girl because this particular dad laughed and laughed when I came to the door and made me come in and show his wife. Funny what you remember from when you were a kid.
