“If at a barn raising you got to know many superficially, in a smaller job you got to know one person well.” The main point of this section was meeting neighbors. Brende discusses how he met people and what he learned about them. He got to know Edward a Vietnam veteran. He met Harvey, Mr. Millers eldest, married son, through the settlement of a pig. Harvey wasn’t nearly reserved as his father. He met Cornelius, an older man who admitted no one in the local community paid attention to him, and thought that the standard of living in biblical times was adequate. Brende learned of Edna through Mary’s pregnancy.
