"The quote is Garrison Keillor, who most conservatives don't like, but I would defend outright because I love to hear him tell a story. (It's my Scandinavian Minnesotan Lutheran Lake Wobegon homestead roots)"

I agree (German Minnesotan Catholic Minneapolis suburban roots & all:)

Yes there are a few German Catholics in Lake Wobegon as well... ;~D

I think the folk he speaks of in his story are all of our relatives, and a lasting tie to those that are now gone... His stories remind me of them and make me smile. Thanks, yours might be a dangerous stance... but I appreciate it. I probably should have avoided using that quote...

As for the egroup - we do have some members that have been accepted but that have never shown up. I can't recognise them from the screen names.. what screen name did you use? FReepmail me and I will give you the instructions...
