1. This coming Sunday, August 5, Special Mass & Brunch celebrating Joan Gleason's marvelous life. Covered dish as usual.
2. Apologies again for failing to get out the blog/bulletins last Monday & Friday. In Iowa the internet connections were poor in the small towns where we camped out at night. Moreover, after a day of riding a bike for 85 miles, exhaustion took over. And try to find an electrical outlet!

Lutheran Church Sanctuary: when the police made us all take refuge from a violent storm that flattened our tent & many others, hundreds of us spent the night in this hospitable church.
People spent the night everywhere. Great spirit despite it all. Next morning everyone mounted up and rode on.
