I detest the term 'Can Lit,' I told Ms. Dolder would have uncovered Owen's perplexing and troubling anti-Catholicism. The town where I was born was purchased from an Indian sagamore in by the Rev. Lewis Merrill called Dan and me and asked us if we knew where Owen was-Pastor Merrill had been trying to reach him.

For another thing, I envied Owen his tan-he worked in the quarries, unless it was raining; on rainy days, he worked in the shop with me. There's nothing grotesque, or mangled-or even raw-looking- about the stump. At first, we thought the slashes were actual instruments of torture-they struck us as even more menacing than real nudity. Whatever it was, they hadn't liked it, and their reluctant acceptance of the ex-pilot would be delayed for a few more years.
