Small Town America:
This Dad's View

Like the Brendan's Island of legend and history, "Small Town America" is often more of a myth than a real place.

But, just as real places very likely lie behind the story of St. Brendan's voyage, real places lie behind the myth of Small Town America.

Brendan's Island, the website, reflects the reality of small town America, at least in my experience here in Sauk Centre, Minnesota.

Update: May 5, 2022

I have been keeping Brendan's Island as a 'museum piece.'

The website's design hasn't changed since I launched it in 1997.

I did the most recent significant Brendan's Island update in 2008.

My current work is on A Catholic Citizen in America. (brendans-island.com/catholic-citizen)

You're not alone.
Here's a website about grilling, for the rest of us.

(a good idea that's not there any more)
