The news is out that Fr. Emil is retiring after 40 plus years. He told Margaret Krebsbach that he was baptizing third generation babies. Clarence Bunsen talked to Fr. Emil about a retirement gift. Fr. Emil would like to go to Jamaica. Clarence said he would make a good Lutheran Missionary. Fr. Emil said that being Lutheran would be a vacation because you could change the hard truths. Clarence went to the Side Track for a Wendy's beer because he was troubled. Wendy's comes from St. Wendel's brewery, which is still run by the Dimmers family. Old Mr. Dimmers fled to MN to avoid the Prussian draft, his debts, and three women he had seduced. Dimmers brewery looks like a castle for the first two stories because the Swedish bricklayers drank too much beer during the construction. During prohibition, Wendy's beer trucks rolled without drivers because the horses knew the routes. You lose tradition when the priest leaves. Twenty years ago, Fr. Emil had a drink at the Side Track to celebrate Wally And Evelyn's 20th anniversary. Wally wrote "Fr. Emil" on the glass and saved it. Anytime someone tells a bad joke, they put a quarter in the glass. The money will pay for Fr. Emil's trip to Jamaica.
