Remarks:
From the looks of this place, Alma Jr.’s wedding
must have been “real nice.” Standing here, it
is very easy to picture Monroe, dressed in his smartest
apron, punch ladle in hand, presiding over the chafing
dishes, finger sandwiches, condiments, and rented
cutlery.
Although we don’t doubt that Kate
Mara’s memorable articulation of the word
“Methodist” (“METH uh dist”) is an
authentic Wyoming pronunciation, none of several locals
we asked about the word followed her example.

Quotation:
“The weddin’ll be June 5th at the Methodist
Church. Jenny’ll be singin’, and Monroe is
gonna cater the reception.”
