More than five weeks after Christmas, you can still see a wreath and a card attached to a fence on the Penn State side of College Avenue, near the intersection with Pugh Street. The outside of the card reads, “I miss you,” and the inside reads, “Wish we could be together to share the special times.” Someone has added a hand-written message to “Tom”:

Merry Christmas
XOXO
Your Dad

I have no idea what the story is behind this. (Do you?) Our class notes editor, Julie Nelson, says this memorial turns up almost every year. Mysterious, and sad.
