A product of North County, St. Louis, home of The Castaway Club and Sts. John and James Parochial School. Working RN in a large nursing home, happily married, sixty-one years old.

A Roman Catholic citizen in America is offended by a lonely desert cross. He appeals to the Supreme Court to make it right. For the moment a plywood box covers the plain Mojave Cross to hide the offense - the offense of the cross - the offense of God in America. As America the Beautiful free falls into the vomitories of ancient Rome it becomes very clear that the final nail in the coffin might hinge upon this important Supreme Court case: "Salazar vs. Buono".
