A SANTA STORY

from Message from the Mountain · host Michael R. Hathaway

We are fortunate to have a wonderful relief carving of my father created by Ellsworth Hathaway several years ago. My parents owned the local telephone company, and the story goes that my father used to answer children calling Santa Claus during the season on an old-fashioned telephone next to his chair by the switchboard. One summer a child at the local store heard him laugh and was sure he had discovered the real Santa Claus.www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.htmlSupport the show
