[Magdalen] Church Cleaning & Reopening

[Jay Weigel]

I think it might have been Euclid Avenue. That sort of jumped into my head.
I do sort of remember Don Meinig. I think my dad's closest friend in the
department was Sid Jumper, who he took off to Tennessee with him.

The Schiesses had a golden retriever named Meg, whose peculiarity was that
she could sense a thunderstorm hours before it arrived. She was deathly
afraid of storms and would try to get into a basement...anyone's
basement...if she happened to be outside. She got into ours one time and
cowered there for six(!) hours until the storm passed. She was a big
(overweight) dog and there was no way of getting her out of there and up
the stairs. She was not budging, thank you very much.
