(Continued from Tuesday's "A Story")
Tuesday's story, a collection of four random posts, was
suggested by Tuesday's NY lottery numbers.
That story leads, by association, to Frame Tale in
a post of 2:02 AM on Sunday, May 23, 2010. For related
material, see Death Story, a post of 9:40 PM that same Sunday.
Wednesday's numbers—
—suggest a counter-story…
Escape to Pine Mountain
A website on films about Latter-Day Saints (i.e., Mormons) asks
Was "Escape to Witch Mountain"
based on Zenna Henderson's "People" stories?
The lottery numbers above suggest the names of three women—
none, as far as I know, with any Mormon background—
who might rightly be called, without capital letters,
"latter-day saints"…
- Madeleine L'Engle (see 529 as the date 5/29),
- June Christy (a singer first recorded on 5/4/45), and
- Mary Rockwell Hook, architect of Pine Mountain
Settlement School, who died on 9/8/78.
These three lives, taken together, may serve as
an antidote to the Death Story mentioned above.
