Stories: Who We Have Lost
Punkie Pie
Who did you lose to Covid 19? Larry Keene
This Thanksgiving I remember my dad, the biggest pumpkin pie fan that ever existed (especially my mom’s extra spicy version). He called it “Punkie Pie” and you knew never to put whipped cream on his enormous piece. It “masked the taste of a perfect thing,” he said. He would always make sure there was enough for a cold piece the next day for breakfast, eaten no utensils necessary.
