Week of glorious weather. Clarence slashed the price on a '69 Pontiac Convertible. The Sons of Knute were getting ready for duck hunting season. Today is the blessing of the animals at Our Lady with hundreds of people and animals. Father Emil is allergic to animals. Things are barely under control. No dogs are leash trained. It was the first trip into town for most of the farm animals. It brings the church into the natural world. The magnificence of the Catholics shown by the 3rd Grade Ocarina Band and Knights of Columbus decked out like admirals. Protestants had nothing like this. Uncle Al of the Sanctified Brethren said that Christ commanded us to be humble. Much later, GK learned that the Brethren were the keepers of folk religious culture. Duane Bunsen got home from Alaska. He had told his friends stories at his parent's expense. The real story of Clarence's fish house fire.
