It was the year we&#8217;d moved from Milwaukee into the basement of my oft-mentioned rich (that is, struggling middle class) relations in St. Charles.  My uncle was politically active and volunteered for this particular campaign, which is why I found myself canvassing Augusta (I think), knocking on doors to tell people about Ms. Francke.  I remember seeing a phone booth that only took a dime in that small town (Augusta, I think), which was something prevalent in the novels I was reading at the time (at age twelve, I was already reading pulp fiction from the 1940s and 1950s) but not so much in the real world (where phones were a quarter). <\/p>\n<p>I thought about clipping the article for my uncle, one of the political lions I&#8217;ve referred to over the course of this blog, but he passed away in April.  So the story from the historical society, that thing I remembered live, I&#8217;ve got no one to share it with except the uncaring Internet via this blog.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I have, I&#8217;ll drop the clipped article into the recycling bin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, not something I wrote; I wish.
