Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip Well, the kids are back at their desks in school. They’ll have a couple days off before the Labor Day holiday on Monday, but they went back this Monday. The Catholic school kids went back even earlier. So all those yellow school buses at Beersville are rolling again. Study hard, kids!!! . . . . Summer humidity returned on Monday, too, but I hope it doesn’t last too long. We got used to cooler, humidity-free weather, and it sure was nice. . . .Kevin Reichel from Reichel Funeral Home over in Northampton went along with the IronPigs promotion and will provide up to a $10,000 funeral for a fan who won an essay. From a Wall Street Journal report I read, there were dozens of funeral directors that turned down the promotion, and even Kevin did, until he changed his mind. A man who has Lou Gehrig’s disease won the funeral when he passes away. What’s next? Even though they’re not going anywhere, the Phillies fans are getting some good
vibes these days as the younger guys who came out of Triple A Lehigh Valley are helping win a lotta games for their new interim skipper. Might be promising for next season. . . .I hear there’s gonna be another 100th birthday party next week down at Alexandria Manor. . . . Wonder who had the birthday in the T&C kitchen the other day? The waitresses and cooks could be heard singing “Happy Birthday to You” to somebody inside . . . .It was nice to see those Bath Lions youth football players out on the field on Saturday, and a terrific crowd on the sidelines to cheer ‘em on, too. . . . Glad to see that Chick Liberto is getting around again after shingles got into his eye and he had a tumble. . . . Didn’t get over to the airport, but that musta been a really great air show with the jets and biplanes and all they had on display and flying hither and yon . . . . Oh, the wonder of modern day technology. Alice Wanamaker’s out in Colorado and writing stories about Manny and Fi and their restaurant

and also the farmers market back here. Back in the old days John Sencenbach wrote his notes on used envelopes and then pecked away on his trusty typewriter. . . .Think I’ll make myself a bagel with cream cheese and a drink of iced tea. Have a nice weekend, folks.
