Carla Kaufman Sloan

Did you ever get a reading from Calder?

Yeah.

So then the next day was the last day, and we were wrapping up.

And by this time, people would have to tap me on the shoulder because they'd be like, Melanie.

And I didn't know who they were talking to.

I was like, oh, yes.

And so that day, the final gallery reading, we were about to wrap up.

And AJ goes, oh, wait, everybody, sit back down.

There's one more.

spirit here and I know it's a little boy because he's pulling on my pant leg and that's how they let me know they're little and he gave me a reading and he said this boy's name and he said my son's Hebrew name which was nowhere to be found like you couldn't even look that up it wasn't all right the gravestone wasn't set yet and that was the only place we put his Hebrew name

And then he started to give me a reading and I disrupted the whole convention just by sobbing hysterically and just I fell apart because everything I wanted to be true was true, but I couldn't fathom it.

But I knew it was real.

Yeah, it's hard for me to remember because it was so emotional.

But he told me he wants you to know he has his glasses, which was one of the key things in both readings.

But he didn't realize he was bringing him through again.

So his glasses, we couldn't find anywhere.

We were searching and searching for Calder's glasses.

And it turned out they were put in the...

But no one knew that, not even us.

So he brought that information through.
