Orb alert! We recently lost the great Pete McCloskey whose grandfather built the Castle in 1908. When he was elected to Congress in 1967, he had his victory party at the Castle. Pete and I met when I was gathering research and he shared great stories - he was a gifted storyteller - and it was after meeting up with him at the Woodside Bakery that I decided to write the book, Sam's Castle. Pete and Helen came to my book signing party and I just noticed 6 orbs in this photo with me, Martin Litton, and Pete. I'd like to think that's Sam there in the middle - Jeanette Cool. The other photos from that night don't have orbs. Rest in Peace, Pete and Martin.
