Raleigh and Claudia were my neighbors for 25 years. I have so many fond memories, but one of my favorites was the Thanksgiving Gift of the Magi. Raleigh and Claudia had made no plans for Thanksgiving, and they each, independently, decided to surprise the other. So, Claudia headed for Massachusetts and Raleigh headed for Maryland. Unbeknownst to each other, they must have passed in New Jersey. When Raleigh got here and found no Claudia, he called her and found out she was in Mass. He immediately headed for Mass. and they spent the holiday together. That was an example of selfless true love if ever there was one.A
