Synchronicity alert!
I just came from dinner with friends, one of whom was raised Catholic, as I
was. Anyway, we were remembering playing Holy Communion with Necco wafers as
children, which must have been a pretty universal thing because she grew up
in Harlem and I was raised in suburban Boston. We were wondering what ever
happened to Necco wafers, and concluded that they must have gone out of
business since we hadn't seen them in years. I'm glad to hear they're still
around. I remember when I was a kid they had a factory in Central Square in
Cambridge, and the whole area smelled sweet.
Please settle a point we disagreed on, Bob. My friend said Necco wafers only
had one black wafer in every roll, but I seem to remember there being more
than one. Please tell me I'm right because my memory has been off too much
lately!
