I doubt they’ve even spoken to each other in years. Wes just got out of jail. Besides, didn’t that nun kill him?” “No, she didn’t.” I bristled. “I’ve known Sister Bernadine most of my life. She could never hurt another human being.” “Whoa, sorry. I’m just saying what I heard,” Della put up her hands in defense. “Oh, I know. I’m just so tired of everyone talking about her.” I patted Della on the arm and thanked her for the information. I turned to Sally to ask her about Wes and Bobby but she shushed me when the music started and the closing ceremony began. The mood changed from merry to solemn. Each band played the National Anthem of the country they represented. There were German bands of course, but also Austrian, Tyrolean, Swiss and several other bands from small countries in Europe. Even the Canadians came down for the celebration. When the Windig Sangers and a couple other American bands started the National Anthem, the entire audience stood with hand over heart and sang along.
