Hello Joan - I remember you from USMC - and was thinking of you the other day as I breezed through an old photo album - a photo of us together at one of the student parties - memories of Theology at St. Mike's - and as you would say, "I thought I would hit Mass this morning." Lots of laughs. I am sure you made a safe journey to New Life. Hugs, Wanda
