'The News from Lake Wobegon'

High school graduation was Tuesday. Many kids will never wear robes again. Gardens are all in. Clarence and Arlene Bunsen were sitting on their front porch. Ralph and the Missus came by and sat for a bit (an hour or so). The talked about Model A Fords and the middle east. They also talked about Flag Day. The big news in LW wasn't in the Herald Star. Carl Krebsbach said that Pastor David Inkvuist was taking a course on selling life insurance. Carl came to the cities to pick up a tool. He went to the hardware store but he forgot what he had driven to cities for. He ended up a garden hose. Walking to jog his memory, he saw Pastor Inkvuist, who was attending a one-day seminar on insurance underwriting. Val Tollefson is holding bible readings in his home. Val told Pastor Inkvuist that he would not be welcome at the meetings because he is too liberal. If he leaves, he will be able to deliver a farewell sermon. David and Carl are close friends. David is comfortable with Carl who is Catholic. Watching the kids cruising up and down Main Street.
