English 311
        First sentence of Susan Isaacs, Long Time, No See
        “On an unseasonably warm Halloween night,
        while I was reading a snappy treatise on Wendell Willkie’s support of FDR’s war policies and handing out the occasional          bag of M&M’s to a trick-or-treater,
the fair-haired and dimpled Courtney Logan,
            age thirty-four,
            magna cum laude graduate of Princeton,
            erstwhile investment banker at Patton Giddings,
            wife of darkly handsome Greg,
            mother of five-year-old Morgan and eighteen-month-old Travis,   
            canner of peach salsa,
            collector of vintage petit point,
            and ex-president of Citizens for a More Beautiful Shorehaven
vanished from Long Island into thin air.”
