Synopsis:
On Christmas Eve, the old-timers of the JSA visit an old friend in New Hampshire, an old friend who is living in witness protection after testifying against the Yellow Mask Mob. This year, they have good news for her - the last relative of those she testified against has died and she and her children are no longer in any danger. They invite her, Ma Hunkel, the Red Tornado, to come and serve as the JSA's museum curator, a role she accepts, filling it beautifully, acting as a support for the heroes in addition to her curatorial duties.
