/ Christmas morning to hear Larry and hi
flute. And should it happen that they d'
not hear him they are heard to say i
hardly seems like Christmas to me | dit
not hear Larry and his flute on the hill
side playing the Adeste. At this writin,
Larry promises if in good health he vii
be at his post before the early mass o.
Christmas morning playing his flute an
wishing all Merry Christmas.
