...vanished behind cold grey mist as Ike followed Mamie up the Columbine's ramp. Halfway, he turned, doffed his hat and, in the raw wind, addressed well-wishers: "My friends, again it is time for Mrs. Eisenhower and me to say good bye to Denver after a summer's stay. This time we leave under somewhat unusual circumstances. As you know, I have spent some time in the hospital. Such a time is not wholly a loss...
...climax came one day when the canoes were plowing through rain, fog and high, rolling waves near the mouth of the Columbia. For an instant the mist parted, and the men sighted the Pacific ("O! the joy," Clark noted). On the Oregon shore, they built a salt cairn and wintered. Clark cut his name on a pine tree and added (in case they didn't make it back): "By Land from the U. States in 1804 & 1805."

Pastor Crist (rhymes with mist), an aviation radioman in World War II, and the father of three children, got into trouble after the synod heard reports of "doctrinal deviations" by him and two other synod pastors who were his former schoolmates at Northwestern Lutheran Theological Seminary in Minneapolis. After examining a series of sermons by Pastor Crist, a fiveman investigating committee ordered him to trial on 14 counts of deviation, centering in his "use and interpretation of the Scriptures, and in his teaching concerning the person and work of Christ...
