> Where does Phred get his funding? It can’t be cheap flying to all these places to picket funerals. If the church is so small they can’t be generating all that much money.

Many of Phred’s phamily are lawyers, both daughters and sons and their spouses. They have a law phirm  
[http://www.phelpschartered.com/Contact.htm](http://www.phelpschartered.com/Contact.htm) that may help in phinancing phamily ventures.

If Maya Angelou did flip them off it sounds as if she’s toughened up some. She was once scheduled to appear here in Topeka, but when she arrived at the arts center the Phredites were there and she was “so upset” she canceled her appearance.

A couple of the kids have reasonably good jobs with state government, and presumably contribute to the family cause.
