Happy Valentine's Day!

And Happy Birthday to my cousin - Jessica Lee Sterling Hatch - who sadly never reached her 12th birthday. I was only five months older than Jessie, I like to imagine we would have been very close. The circumstances surrounding her unsolved murder in 1982 are fraught with intrigue, so I think of her very often, speculating about the case, and wondering if my Aunt could handle a new investigation. But today I prefer to remember the girly summer we spent together before she died, playing Barbies & Atari and bickering over the Biggety Boss Chair at Granny's.
