Show Notes

Episode 9. Hullabaloo. Scores of landlords turned Father Tim Gibbons and Alice Geoffray down as they searched in vain for a location for the Adult Education Center while steering through uncharted and hostile territory. On top of all those challenges, Gibbons was unexpectedly forced to leave his post in New Orleans for causing a political “Hullabaloo.” In a shocking twist, he nominates Alice, a 41-year-old mother of seven with no administrative experience, and no appetite for political upheaval, to take over the program.
