Justine......Ron Lewis (I'm pretty sure that's his name - a lot of people seem to know him!) is helping Light Up Lakewood...he is bringing the real Santa to Lakewood! Melissa Page at melissabpage@sbcglobal could get you contact info. Also, Cathy Deininger at Rockport Square 226-5919 seems to know how to get Santa to come to town for a visit, too....she just offered her help the other day.

Mary Anne

Ron Lewis is his name and though he is semi retired, he still is one of th best Santas I have every known. His son is taking over the business and is as good as dad.

I will give Justine the numbers.

Nice to have both of you bringing Santa to the kids.

The full image from the story about MAMA's Holiday Hop this weekend, in the paper. It would appear to be the publisher's wife messing about with Santa twenty years ago!

Jim,

those blue eyes give it away!

Oh and tell Debbie that she looks just as beautiful now as she did 20 years ago!
