My

snow
was
on

of
New
England
Vers

With
the
worst
winter
they
could
remember
Avec
le
pire
hiver
dont
ils
se
souviennent
Nelson
Maguire,

âge
que

Though
in
looks
he
appears
to
be
older
Bien

vieux
He
returned
to
a
store
Il
est
retourné
dans
un
magasin
From
the
Indo-China
War
De
la
guerre
d'Indochine
And
his

is
the
heart
of
a
