Wonderful, as always. And the Marionberry development story is a very cool one, a cooperative effort between USDA and Oregon State University (Benton County), and a legendary plant breeder. If I can find a story I did on that I'll send it along. Fun!
I remember now why I never got to sing “Morning Song” with the sixth graders. Every year the Bloomington, MN, School District redrew the elementary school boundaries. I spent sixth grade in a different school where that song wasn’t in the repertoire.
Oh, wow, Rob! Thanks for widening my understanding of these things. And especially for the Maureen Neuberger-margarine connection. I wish I had known.
I highly recommend Amy E. Platt’s thorough and entertaining story at the Oregon Historical Society (see the link in Rob’s comment) about then state Rep. Neuberger’s role in ending a ban on colored margarine that stood from 1915 to 1951. It’s quite a yarn!
Sullivan's hymn tune, St. Kevin: a family favorite, and I have an organ setting that is LOTS of fun, and has a BIG finish. Always a favorite, "triumphant gladness," indeed.
Frozen strawberries were cut into slices and served with Cool Whip. When they were on sale, they were stock piled in a locker we rented at a butcher shop!

Great! Boots on the ground.

I so very much enjoyed this discussion of oblique writing!
