Could Lamb's Theater be a possible site? It would work great for a performance of "Phantom of the Opera"!

Does the phrase "Beggar's Night" conjure up any fond memories? If so, in light of the fast approaching Halloween festivies, perhaps you would share a little exclusive Coronado history on this infamous day that seems to have passed by the wayside. No one believes me when tell them we had two Halloweens in Coronado, back in the day.

Hope all is well,

Your Pal, Julie DeVercelly (Mrs. Jeep)
