Rev. Mr. Joe Goebel, Deacon, introduces 18% statistical variation!!


In a lively, free - wheeling discussion last night at the St. Mary Magdalene's Catholic Parish Old Rectory Bldg. comparing impressions of a number of people regarding what seems to have been a surge in this year's Ash Wednesday observances compared to last year's, the Rev. Mr. Joe Goebel, Deacon, having carefully weighed all the factors involved, judiciously opined that his estimate was that of 450 +/- total.

This in turn, would be a statistical variance of -18% to yours truly's own guesstimate of 550 +/-.

Joe is good, so we hereby publicly concede to Joe!
