Prolix priest

(1959 February 11)

Monday night to Auxiliary at Lenzes - started about 8:15. Little business, but to every smattering brot up, Father Boulet talked 5 to 10 minutes. Then he took half an hour to make requests for someone to put up a bulletin bord, do some painting pews, retable, hymn board. He isn't handy. Then it was 10 p.m. and he had the program and talked on organization of the Church until 10:45. We were all so tired and nervous or sleeping. What a man.

Poor Don Lenz - he went upstairs with the kids to be out of the way and was in Kassie's room until she went to bed, then went in Bill's room until he said, "Well, Dad, if you want to stay on in here you'll have to sit in the dark as I'm turning in." So then, as there was no place else to go and he heard Father B commence his talk, he thought he'd take a bath to fill in the time but reported being excessively waterlogged the following morning.
