Remember Albert Lea in the 1940s? We had come here to what seemed to be a nice town to raise a family.

How many of you remember that?

Holy Week was special here.

On Good Friday, one of our movie theaters held a Good Friday service. All of the downtown stores were closed, and the theater was full. Yes, this really was a very special time of year! And a special town.

How blasé we have become!
