In this little town they are friends and grandfathers and next door neighbors. One is Ralph's cousin. <br />Beck is a bright young college graduate. However, she can't drive, but she will work, so there she is, not exactly working in her field, but working every day. Our old guys are the local interfaith prayer group. They meet for coffee once a week and are quiet and respectful and much welcomed by management and owner. The other day, our girl, who was recently promoted to manager, was called from her work in the back of the store to deal with an atheist rabblerouser who was yelling epithets at the men...and at the younger woman pastor who joined them that week...and generally disrupting everyone's breakfast. I can't write about this at home, because I never dare say anything about that particular job where local people can read it, but our girl engaged the man in discussion over whether the prayer group was violating the separation of church and state...and when he just got louder and all up in her face, threw him out of the store. I was so proud of our shy, unassuming, quietest middle kid. She will have good friends in that men's group and good neighbors too. I was stunned that something like that even happened in our tiny town, but I guess life is changing.threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.com
