'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Things got quiet in LW when they learned that GK would be in Hawaii. LW people tried to make it before but failed. Yalmer and Virginia Inqvuist and their nephew Stanley got as far as Los Angeles. Yalmer drank pink champagne and paraded up the plane aisle saying, 'Call me Yalmer.' Leroy was so mortified that he fell down a stairway and broke his leg, so they came home. Daryl and Marilyn Tolerude spent the money on more breeder pigs. In January, all I 00 died of a virus. In 1957, the Team from LW Lutheran were to fly to Hawaii for the Silent Usher Drill Squad competition. Don got sick and Val Tollefsen, the captain, picked Cliff to replace him instead of Cully. Clarence questioned his choice. The team was so demoralized that they lost the semi-finals. LW people feel guilty about visiting paradise.When they die and go to heaven, they will stand aside for a while. Lutherans are not paradise people. When Daryl and Marilyn had buried the last pigs at the town dump, they went to bed. Daryl kissed Marilyn. No recrimination. That's love.


Other mentions/discussions during the show

PHC is on the road because they have no home in St. Paul. There was lots of debate about admitting Hawaii. Hawaii is a rain forest of love. Mark Twain wrote about Hawaii. Buddy the cow swims to HA.
