Callie is partcipating on the 2011 Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this May in Boston and would love our support in the fight against breast cancer. She needs to raise $1,800.00 in order to walk in May with her team, "Team Second Base". She has a long way to go, but is very confident she'll get there with all of the support she has from her friends and family. So, please whether it's $10 or $100 - anything counts and she appreciates all donations, no matter the amount.

***Also, if there is anyone in particular that you would like Callie to walk for, please email her at cnealon214@gmail.com or callie.nealon@ca.com and she will write their name on a pink ribbon and pin it to her shirt during the walk in Boston!***

Christmas Message from Kathy:
So many people I have talked to lately have mentioned how they wish the Christmas celebration could be simpler with more focus on the spirit and being together. I was going through a drawer looking for my musical bracelet and reread a letter I received from my father in December of 1968 – my first year away at College.
Excerpt from Letter of December, 1968
“I find myself thinking of all the wonderful Christmases we had over the many past years and the reluctance always to take the tree down after Christmas in order that the season might be prolonged for a few more days. – I feel that Tommy senses the mood for last Friday he said to me ‘Cathy wants the house decorated when she comes home so you & Mom go to the Cape and Sunday when you return I’ll have it all done’. Sure enough when we came home Sunday afternoon, he greeted us at the door & proudly gave us a tour. He apparently found decorations that we did not know existed. His reactions were really great.”
Everybody has heard the story a hundred times about how Lobster Newburg came to be a part of a Christmas tradition (Aunt Mary and Uncle Bill came to our house for several years on Christmas eve and Mom served Lobster Newburg and the really small peas. Perhaps one you didn’t hear was the one Christmas Eve where the present opened was a gumball machine – present opened, being carried upstairs at house on Church Street, and the gumballs got loose from machine and came blasting and tumbling down the upcarpeted stairs – some even got into heating vents. I bet today every Christmas eve when the heat comes on at that place – you can hear the rattle of the errant Christmas gumballs.
Merry Christmas!
Family recipe for Lobster Newburg
This was made by my mother every Christmas Eve for my dad throughout my childhood. She served it on toast points with small green peas. She then instituted a Christmas tradition after my father died of hosting a family dinner for her 8 children (no grandchildren) and their spouses and served us Lobster Newburg on the Pepperidge Farms patty shells cups with the small green peas. This tradition lasted many, many years.
RECIPE:
1 cup butter (seems she used more than 1 cup of butter)
½ cup flour
¼ cup cornstarch
5 cups milk
2 cups light cream
3 and ½ lbs cooked lobster meat
1/8th teaspoon nutmeg
1 Tablespoon paprika
1 Tablespoon salt
¼ teaspoon white pepper
3 eggs, slightly beaten
¾ cup sherry or so to taste
1 Tablespoon lemon juice (or so)
Melt ½ cup of the butter in a large, heavy saucepan. Blend flour and cornstarch with 2 cups of milk. Add gradually to melted butter, stirring constantly. Add remaining 3 cups mild and the cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens and is smooth.
Meanwhile, lightly sauté lobster meat in remaining ½ cup of butter in a large skillet. Add nutmeg, paprika, salt, and pepper to hot sauce. Gradually add about 1 cup of the thickened sauce to the eggs, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and gradually stir egge mixture into sauce. Add lobster. Cook about 1 minute longer. Add sherry and lemon juice. Serve in patty shells.
This recipe makes 24 servings.

RJ’s Eagle Scout Court Of Honor – YOU ARE INVITED!
In case you hadn’t heard, RJ attained the high rank of EAGLE SCOUT back in May – the highest rank available in Boy Scouts. It is an achievement that very few men in America can claim and came as a result of many years of hard work, commitment, leadership and perseverance. Jen and I are very proud of him.
RJ’s official Eagle Court of Honor ceremony is scheduled for Sunday, November 28 (Thanksgiving Week-End) at 1:00 PM at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church – 11 East Main Street – Milford, MA. The ceremony is in the lower church and then a reception serving food and drinks will follow in the Bell Tower Room (attached to the church). Jen and I would be honored if any of you could attend to celebrate this special moment with us. Please rsvp to Bob at bob.nealon@cudl.com or 508-981-1746 or Jen at 508-450-8816 – which will help us with the food/drink headcount. Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! -Bob

email update from Big Jack Nealon
Kathy wanted to pass along this email from Jack while on his worldwide adventure...
Hey Kath!
So great to hear from you. I truly have been having the time of my life. As of no I am in India sitting in a airport awaiting my flight to take me back to the ship. We depart tomorrow night. I've have numerous life changing experiences over the past few days. We went to the taj mahal which was beautiful. Then we flew to Varinassi, which is the oldest still inhabited city in the world. Here we spent lastnight's sun set, and this mornings sunrise on the Ganges river. The Ganges serves at a final resting place for most indians who can afford the trip. The thought is to be cremated by the river, then have the ashes spread. It truly was an amazing experience, I have hundreds of pictures. I hope everything is well and you anrt working to hard. I think about the family daily, in that, I know everyone would appreciate the ins and outs of traveling. (Hint- family trip to Ireland) tell everyone I say hello, and that I am sorry for the lag on my blog. I will be docking in singapore on the 31st. Ill talk to you soon, thanks for the email I love reading them.
Ps, it was very ironic when I saw that you emailed me. We were exploging the city if New Dehli and I saw a women and a child collecting and separating bottles and cans. I couldn't help think of all the hours we slaved away in the barn doing the same thing. It made me realize that no matter how different cultures appear they are still very similar.
Love
Jack
