---- The last FULL MOON on Halloween was 1974. The next one before that was 1955, which MIGHT have been my first Trick or Treat. The Lunar calendar is 28 days. So a full moon will occur once every 28 days. That means an AVERAGE of one Full Moon every 28 years on Halloween. However, a Full Moon falling one day before or after is still 27/28 Full and we had Full Moons on Oct 30, 1993 and Oct 30, 1966. Plus probably a couple on November 1. And a Full Moon falling two days away is still 26/28 or 13/14 Full. ______________ _______________ _________________ _________________ _________________ ---------- New York Times, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1963::::: JOHNSON PROMISED PLACE ON 64 KENNEDY TICKET,,,,, 62 DEAD AND HUNDREDS HURT IN BLAST AT INDIANA ICE SHOW (Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum) ::::: DRYEST OCTOBER ON RECORD!!!!! 10-31-63::::: THURSDAY OCTOBER 31, HALLOWEEN: 63* high, 41* low...

But now this I can't understand: My father and I BOTH recall me FREEZING when I came in to drop off one bag of candy to get another bag. My face was like ice and my nose was running badly. I also recall going to the very first house two blocks up on the east side of 21st St and the snow coming down just enough to cover the sidewalks with a thin layer of white. But look at the temps? How could this be? These temps are for the middle of Central park. Maybe there was some freak weather where the East River and Long Island Sound met?? I see no other year in the 59-63 period where the temp would be 32*. Note the thin precipitation, just right for what I said. Maybe I was so cold because I wasn't wearing a coat and perhaps I only had my underwear on under the costume?_________________ ____________________ ____________________ _____________________ _____________________ ______________________ ____________________ __________________ _______________________ ________________________ NYT, SUNDAY NOVEMBER 1, 1959:::: STEEL TEAMS END OWN PEACE TALKS,,,,, KHRUSCHCHEV BIDS BOTH SIDES MAKE SOME CONCESSIONS,,,, SATURDAY OCTOBER 31, 1959:::: NEW MOON!!!
