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.

fragments of it was reflected in
our eyes. 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
