MARK CAREY'S CHESAPEAKE

ILLUSTRATION: Drawing by Mark Carey

Scoop,'' the mascot of The Virginian-Pilot, was a big hit with the

crowds who attended Chesapeake's Christmas Parade, sponsored by

local Jaycees, on Nov. 30. I was ``Scoop's'' chauffeur on the parade

route and had a close-up view of his wild and crazy antics.

Virginian-Pilot employee Michael Keane, who is ``Scoop's''

alter-ego, gave the bug-eyed newspaper a hug as he waited for the

parade to begin.
