Visitors from Fulton, Maryland

What a surprise! I was delighted to welcome David Bird and his wife Mary when they came to Salem Heights for a visit last May.

When I was teaching and putting on plays at Regina High School in Norwood, Ohio, I had featured David in the lead male role in Brigadoon in 1962 and then in My Fair

Lady in 1965. After graduation, he attended Xavier University in Cincinnati and then became a lawyer.

He and his wife now live in Fulton, Maryland. David and I had not seen each other in years, so it was good to see him again. We took lots of pictures and shared many memories. I enjoyed their visit very much. 

Letter to the Editor

Irread with great interest your opening letter in the most recent edition of Sharing & Caring. I was most pleased to read your comment about younger priests seeking to celebrate liturgy the old way, i.e., in Latin and backs to the wall. As a convert, I never knew the pre-Vatican II liturgy. What a great comment and I heartily agree with Sister Edna.

Happy Birthday

Reading the rest of the publication, I see what marvelous work the Sisters are doing around the country and caring for our planet. The articles on EVs and “The Front Porch” show me how vital your ministries and work continue to be.

Our good friend Sister Vera Heile attended many of our Dignity/Dayton liturgies, and her passion for revoking the death penalty was infectious. We knew Vera made things happen. And, she was a Precious Blood Sister.

It has been said that “the Nuns will Save the Church” ... keep throwing out the life preservers, Sisters! 
