December 23, 1993

I drove up to Hackensack in the afternoon to visit a previous workplace, an adult training center that served people with developmental disabilities. (I had been an instructor in work related activites) They were having the Christmas party that day. Normally Bill the bus driver put on the Santa suit to distribute the gifts, but to be a surprise for the clients, I put on the suit. When I walked out in full Santa costume, the crowd assumed it was Bill, until he walked out also. I worked the whole room as Santa, greeting all 50+ clients. Only one recognized me before I took off the hat and beard.
