Bunny thinks that Jack is wasting his summer. She’s upset that he can’t spend time with her. Jack believes that his summer has been “interesting,” and he trades his ticket for a flight on the J-3 so that he can play baseball. Bunny’s team has only five players. As Bunny and Jack walk to the baseball field, Miss Volker announces that Mrs. Linga has died. Bunny accompanies Jack and Miss Volker to Mrs. Linga’s house, where Jack notices Mom’s half-eaten casseroles. Miss Volker and Mr. Huffer conclude that Mrs. Linga died due to “complications” from a broken hip.

In Miss Volker’s obituary for Mrs. Linga, Miss Volker notes Mrs. Linga’s talent for carving ducks. She also highlights Mrs. Linga’s husband, who had a wooden leg and cared for the mules that pulled the coal cars in the mines. Miss Volker adds a history of Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman—romantic partners and violent social reformers.

Jack sees Dad drive by with a Norvelt house on the back of a trailer. There’s another Roosevelt town in West Virginia—the town’s name is Eleanor—and someone is buying the houses and sending them to the West Virginia community.
