At Macy’s Boston, 7-year-old twins Athena and Alexa of Roxbury mail their letters to Santa and receive new Samsonite luggage and clothing for their Wish trip to St. Lucia to visit family. The event was held on National Believe Day on Dec. 14, part of the Macy’s Believe Campaign to benefit Make-A-Wish of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. For every Santa letter dropped off at any local Macy’s store before Dec. 24, Macy’s will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish up to $1M. (Photo courtesy of Macy’s)

I believe Mr. McClain was drafted in 1984 by the Houston Rockets, not San Diego. Thanks!
