Where You Live By Tom Burke Well I did it. I went through a camera-equipped red light. My ticket and copies of pictures taken at the scene were in the mail pretty quick. As I’ve been told that I look like game show host, Monty Hall, I was thinking of saying it was the TV star behind the wheel but think he’d never cop to driving a Kia. In any case, I am going to court to try to get the fine reduced. It’s a whopper. Sure hope they’ll let me do it “my way.” It’ll be kind of “Let’s Make a Deal” you might say minus the wacky outfits. Keep your fingers crossed, please…. Thanks to Sulpician Father Gerald Coleman for this interesting note. “Five priests have either been stationed or in residence at St. Pius Church in Redwood City and have been made bishops,” Father Jerry told me in a note to this column. Rob and Katherine Moser They are retired Anchorage Archbishop Frank Hurley, Santa Rosa Bishop Dan Walsh, Reno Bishop Randy Calvo, San Francisco Auxiliary Bishop Bob McElroy, and San Jose Auxiliary Bishop Tom Daly. “This is a great tribute to the people of the parish,” Father Jerry said. Father Jerry, ordained for the Archdiocese of San Francisco in 1968, is former rector and president of St. Patrick’s Seminary and University in Menlo Park. He
