Luck Reforged by a New Years Eve Ripples of Fate
A Milwaukee Journal item recounts Mark Lennon narrating a New Year's Eve tale of a man driven to robbery by poverty who steals a wallet from a drunken stranger, then redeems himself by returning the money after a late-night hunt for work. The story ends with the man’s fortunes rising and a lifelong friendship formed through honesty. Additional notes cover curiosities from Pennsylvania weight-based suppers, odd produce at fairs, a New Brighton theater gum incident, and various tall tales of wildlife and odd happenings across towns.
