Thanksgiving BATS (1060).jpg

Our immigrant friends have their own Thanksgiving traditions! Hello, Boys and Girls! Did you know that our nice friends from Romania are very glad to come to our country and learn about our history. They come from a mysterious place in Europe, and part of their country is named Transylvania and it's covered with mountains and castles and very dark forests. Do you like Halloween? I do too. And one of my favorite scary things about Halloween is Dracula... he's the vampire who flies about at night and bites people! (Maybe your little brother does that too and can even walk on the ceiling, but that's a different story for another time!)

Well, when our Romanian friends celebrate Thanksgiving, they cook all the nice dishes that you and I like... sort of... they like sweet potatoes, but they like them with garlic. They like green beans, but they like them with garlic. They like mince pie, but they like it with garlic!... as a matter of fact, they like garlic in everything... even in lime jello with carrot shavings... and a crucifix. But whatever they serve their friends, they always hang a dead bat on the wall. Where everyone can see! ...I guess that's to keep away mosquitoes!

Sybil Bruncheon's "Interesting People": Vladimir! ...and Natalie!!

/

...poor Vladimir! He grew up in a time and place that didn't understand his predilections, his desires, his deepest secret, and the journey he wished to take! Where to go? Who to even ask??? And how would it be accomplished? Even in this new century, with all its new marvels and scientific discoveries, was it actually possible to become the person he was meant to be? Fortunately, his family were members of an ancient and respected imperial court located in an out-of-the-way corner of the Balkans. The name is not important, and the principality was one of dozens tucked "cheek-by-jowl" in a constantly bickering and conspiring area of the mountainous Eastern European wilds. Finally, a nice theatre and ballet professor that Vladimir had had at Acting Camp suggested a Dr. Victor Phrahnkenshteen in Bavaria who was making breakthroughs in revolutionary eye-lifts, nose reductions, tummy tucks, and ....um, more. Six months later, Vladimir re-emerged like the rare "Moldavian Purple Caprice" butterfly. He, or rather "she" (her new name was Natalie Dragomiroff!) took her place in royal society as a person of great influence in the arts and sciences, in fundraising circles and events, and at great galas and pageants! Her pet causes included the Bosnian Blood Drive, The Wallachian Wolf Welfare Society, and improvements in railway safety.
