I just listened to the podcast with great interest. A family adventure—there’s nothing better. We need to hang once you’re settled. Will give you my digits on FB. All the best to all of y’all.
As I was rummaging thru your house (aka estate sale), on the phone with your sister Tricia, I came across the Monsignor Lopez bobblehead. WHAT, how could Paul have left this??? I had a hearty laugh, as did your sister, and it sparked so many memories of the Ollinger/Peters/Lopez era. Remember the time Fr. Lopez was at your house and your brother Cole climbed on the roof and refused to come down - your mother was horrified!!! There are millions of stories!!! Wishing you lots of happiness in your new (old) city!! My nephew and his family are moving back, after 3 years in Denver, so if I'm ever visiting them I'll look you up! I know, I never looked you up in ATL but whatever! Linda
omg - i don't remember Cole climbing on the roof but that doesn't totally shock me. Yes, we left a lot of good stuff behind. The realization that we won't be alive for ever and that these things, special as they are, are just *things* that our kids will one day have to sort through informed a pretty aggressive purge. And yet, we still have way too much stuff for our place. Thanks for sharing the memories, Linda.

Love the report card from St. Jude's! My mother saved mine from OLA and St. Pius. Hope you got your internet hooked up finally.
And I still use Steve's great advice to this day. "I forgot armed robbery was illegal."
