Chuck Perkins

Chuck gets special mention because he has contributed an extraordinary amount of foil to the ball on several occasions. This page describes the most recent shipment. I did not photograph his first shipment, but it is described in the contributons list.

The other day, I answered my doorbell to find the UPS carrier bearing a largish box which was marked "The Ball" and "Foil Ball".

I opened the box and found that it was filled quite full with pink bubble wrap.

It wasn't entirely bubble wrap, though, as I found this plastic food storage container crammed full of foil.

On the top was a layer containing some Easter foil (visible on the left), including two Cadbury Creme Egg wrappers. There was also foil from quite a few candy bars, some Kit-Kats, and the foil from some cigarette packs.

Below that layer, there were six neat stacks of wrappers. Clockwise from the upper-left, they are Peanut Butter Cups, Andes Mints, Peppermint Patties (plain, Christmas, Easter, and Halloween colors), Gum, Some small Easter candy (probably egg shaped), and Kisses/Hugs.

Thank you, Chuck, for your wonderful contributions to the ball.
