Moment of memory and a raffle of self in New Haven
A mixed collage notes a remembered encounter, then shifts to a New Haven item: a widow with $30,000 seeks to raffle herself, amid items on concealed weapons and other snatches of jokes and public notices. The column threads through short vignettes and quotes from various papers, concluding with a Maine executor’s will and large bequests totaling over 9 million.
