168.0. "Celebration Along The Merrimack River" by AIMHI::RAUH (Home of The Cruel Spa) Fri Nov 01 1991 09:55

    A friend of mine, who was a big suport to my sucess in my custody fight
    became a free man last night, or this morning. Ron has custody of his
    lovely 11 year old daughter. She and her dad, Ron, went out trick and
    treating last night. He dressed up, as a prisoner. Complete with
    plastic ball and chain. Gotta say it, how fitting! He dropped in around
    11:45 pm last night and we drove to the banks of the Merrimack River
    in Nashua. Only blocks from my home. Popped a bottle of champaine,
    requested some tunes from the local Rock 101 DJ. I forgot what Ron
    requested. But I requested, Billy Idol's 'White Wedding'. Funny I did
    hear the theme song to Alfred Hitchcocks TV program as we stood there
    looking into the black river. 
    
    Exactly at12:00 midnight. He tossed the ball and chain into the 
    Merrimack River. Historically only feet from the famed Osgood Foundry. 
    Where the keel of the faimed Merrimack of Civil War times was made and 
    lanched. The Civil War, stat wise still the bloodiest war ever know to 
    modern war fare. Wounder if there is a hidden message there. :-)
    

    And a big ATTABOY from me too!
