Wish we had a pic of Marion in her glory. Wonder if news articles of this event still exist online.

Re the proposal letter. People still get New Ipswich mixed up with Ipswich England and Ipswich Massachusetts. In the Information Age, things still get confused.

I believe my grandfather John Kangas was agent of the clock at the white church sometime after the Apostolic Lutherans took it over. We all liked the sound of the bell as kids. A real bell. Not fake electronic bells and chimes that you hear in many places now that we are in the Imitation Age. No resonance.

And did people put leaves in hen houses instead of straw or sawdust or wood chips, down on the floor?
