Oct. 8, 1986 We Are What We Wear By Vicki Koon The first morning of Autumn arrived with a mass of grey clouds and a misty, almost not there, rain. I struggled with what to wear. It was not cold, but then again, it was not hot either. It was too warm for winter sweaters, and too cool for summer blouses. I stood facing my closet for what seemed like ages. I looked at the flannel shirt hanging limply in between the summer and winter items. It was garish compared to the softer colors surrounding it. It looked neglected, lonely, and plaid. How long had it been since I had worn that shirt? A year? Two years? Maybe it was time to give it to Goodwill. I decided to put it on to see if it still fit. As I took the shirt off the hanger a wave of nostalgia overcame me. I suddenly remembered the sound of wood crackling in an open bonfire and the sweet smell of burning pine branches. It was a black and starry night, a pep rally night. The air was filled with laughter, cheers, and songs. The fire was the only light around, save what For The Victim (continued from pg. 7) since the end of 1984. From January Ist of this year, until present, the program has served over 100 victims and witnesses. There are presently seven qualified counselors working on twenty current cases. The Board of Directors consists of nine attorneys and three lay volunteers. The main function of the agency is to provide information, referrals, support and act as advocates for victims and witnesses of crime. All advocates complete a thorough training program before being assigned to a case. Even then, the advocate continues to work under close supervision of the Volunteer Coordinator until the Coordinator and the advocate feel supervision is no longer needed. The agency is constantly seeking interested people to become advocates. If you are interested, call the Volunteer Coordinator of the Victim/Witness Assistance Program of Dauphin County at 233-3312.

We had marshmallows and cider, and the adventure of youth. There was warmth in the cool night. I looked at the red, yellow, and green shirt. No, this wasn’t the same flannel shirt that I wore that night. That shirt ended up as several cleaning rags; it literally “bit the dust.” No, this was the one that I had a fight with my sister over when she saw me wearing it and insisted that it was hers. But I knew it was mine because I remembered buying it for a Hobo costume. I specifically bought it because it was so ugly. How could I forget paying for something that I thought was ugly? Funny thing was, after I wore it, it didn’t strike me as ugly any more. (My sister didn’t think so either.) I finally had the shirt on and went over to the mirror to see how it looked. It still fit! And it was soft, sort of cozy. Uncomplicated coziness! And all those clashy colors were just the opposite of the grey of the day. Why take it off, I thought as I looked in the mirror, it’s perfect Abortion Services Harrisburg Reproductive Health Services Reproductive Freedom, Individual Choice f» FIRST & MIDTRIMESTER ABORTIONS • PREGNANCY TESTING • GYNECOLOGICAL CARE • PROBLEM PREGNANCY COUNSE!
