I have rushed to get Christmas Eve chores done today--I've been crazed to steal a little more time to investigate the Jaggers. Alas, no noir scandal popped up immediately, no Aimee-like staged drownings. But there were multiple marriages, fatherhood at 17, relentless dunning of poor parishoners, flying saucers, and more madcap theatrics than Sister Aimee ever dreamed up. More flames like the one above here:

Sadly, The Reverend Dr. Orval Lee "O. L." Jaggers and Dr. Velma "Miss Velma" Mary Lee Jaggers and all their impressive degrees have gone to heaven or to nirvana or to whichever brand of paradise they subscribed to, presumably in the lie-flat, first-class cabin of a saucer... or, better yet, their own
private saucer. (Do I love this story, or what?)
