'The News from Lake Wobegon'

It's Memorial Day and the Rock Park Cemetery has gorgeous views but Bud wishes the cemetery didn't have so many rocks and uses some dynamite to dig Mrs. Berges plot which caused concern among many residents and remembering the fallen.


Additional information, mentions, etc.

A plane flies overhead while Garrison is reading greetings, at about 14:00. Later, church bells ring in the background (Garrison attributes them to Central Presbyterian), leading to some commentary from Lisa Null.
