'The News from Lake Wobegon'

Mr. Odegard's pickup would not start so he walked home. It was so cold that he tried to thumb. Mr. Bowser, the postman, didn't stop. A team of evangelists from the Bob Louven Bible College didn't stop. A black limousine pulled up in front of at Our Lady an a tall tanned man got out of the car and knocked on the rectory door. He was inside for half an hour. Fr. Emil, who is 74, is resigning. Our Lady is a missionary church run by the Benedictines and administered by the Abbey of St. Frederick in Perkasey, PA. The Abbot had been in charge for 11 years and he wasn't aware ofLW because Fr. Emil never contacted him. He was afraid LW might be a nut case church so he called the Bishop of Brainard and gave him Our Lady. The Bishop visited Fr. Emil to talk about his retirement. Fr. Emil wants to celebrate Easter mass and leave on Monday, March 31. He expects the Bishop to take care of him for the rest of his life. As the Bishop drove out ofLW he drove past an old hitch hiker. Mr. Odegard threw a cow flop at the limousine
