Memories of my cousin Eric--Christmas shopping at Shoppers World in Framingham where we viewed the Christmas dioramas and he gave me a Shirley Temple doll. Searching Grammas house on Main Street for Mitzys kittens. And later, I think, a cat named Maneshevitz. And as adults, he was the cousin I heard from the most, frequently checking in to see how Aunt Eleanor was doing. He visited her often, sometimes with Laurie in tow. I'll miss him, another link to our past lost.
