of the best dressed Angels and Demons, goblins<br />
and ghouls around our parts gathered to have a ghostly<br />
good time on Saturday, October 30, at the <strong>Portland</strong><br />
<strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>, a once-a-year transformation.<br />
Your ballroom became a graveyard with the help of Bruce<br />
Wiedemann. A human trapped in a giant spider web and an<br />
embalming station for ghouls brought the graveyard to life –<br />
or afterlife. The fabulous table decorations were done by our<br />
very own Mary Ann Nitchie. What artists we have lurking in<br />
our midst – unseen, plotting their midnight makeovers!<br />

Laura Mack orchestrated the banquet menu, and everyone<br />
enjoyed the feast of pork tenderloin with apple compote<br />
sauce, garlicky green beans, roasted sweet potatoes, spinach<br />
salad with pears and gorgonzola. A marvelous Devils food<br />
ganache cake was most appropriate to the occasion.<br />

Thanks to Dale Mack, Jim Sinclair, Larry Snyder and a number<br />
of my neighbors for volunteering on the race committee.<br />
Also thanks to Mike Stainsby, Arden Newbrook and Dave<br />
Hickman for hearing a request for regress. Mary Stainsby, as<br />
usual, was always ready with the food after the races.<br />
The support and enjoyment received this year has been very<br />
rewarding.<br />

Ruth Parr decorated the sign-in area as the entrance to<br />
Heaven, so as not to be biased, Julie Hinkley decorated the<br />
bar as Hell. The ghost of Aimee Semple McPherson was<br />
probably amused. In any case, all of the spirits were consumed<br />
with glee.<br />
We really must do this again next year.<br />
