The winner of our Robert Ferrigno contest, Mary Eagan of Alpena, Mich., just e-mailed me:

My grandfather, the Rev. Gilbert Runkel, was the rector of Trinity Episcopal Church from 1952 to 1970. I can see the steeple of the church from my front porch and my mother runs a soup kitchen there, in addition to sitting on the vestry.

If you’ve been following this thread, then you will agree that the Eagan-Ferrigno-Runkel-Goldberg-Nock connection is starting to look more than a little suspicious.
