A Maine reminiscence recalls Bangor and South Portland high school girls, Babe Ruth records, and a ram named Ol’Butthead. A hired man’s trick with a basket triggers a ram attack, basket destruction, and Aunt Vashti’s fiery exclamations as yarn dries in the barnyard.
A flood of denials and diatribes dominates a month of letters discussing alleged paymaster links, forged documents, and a call for accountability from officials.
