JD SALINGER'S LAST SUPPER

The late JD Salinger has been in the news lately and interest in him continues and will continue for many, many years, undoubtedly... Contrary to popular belief and legend about 'JD" or "JERRY' as some called him in attempts to seem familiar with him, he was not the complete hermit-recluse-anchorite-ascetic many want to make him out to have been but a man who,in some respects, followed the WAY OF THE HOUSEHOLDER.... The subject of 'his Last Supper'(no relation to the more famous, LAST SUPPER of BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS) was his last supper consisting of foods he usually consumed at CHURCH SUPPERS in HARTLAND,VERMONT at the CONREGATIONAL CHURCH known better as 'the red brick church' and which enjoys, as do nearly all such affairs in both New Hampshire and in Vermont a devoted following of eaters of all ages and denominations....especially nowadays in hard economic times....where a good hearty, sometimes all you can eat portions are served up...so that everyone comes away fully satisfied...... Confined and unable to attend the supper before his demise, JD'S wife drove to Hartland and got a meal for him to eat at home.....which was his very last 'church supper' the fare and pie he liked to eat unquestionably........
