To Michael Vianello,
I do remember the Belsnickel when I was a child, and he was not a nice person. As the story goes he would whip you after giving you peanuts on the floor. He never gave us nice gifts afterward. I know Ruth Gougher, she got confirmed with me in St. Matthew UCC Church in Kunkletown.I am Viola Hawk, was married to Emmett Gower. I was born on the outskirts of Monroe County, Kunkletown with my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Hawk.Yours Truly,Viola Hawk
