I have to. There was a Priest that befriend me then We talk LOTR and play chess. (yeah take that those of you who consider me a Catholic hater!). He would help me get my checks cashed. When I got my apartment he was getting reassigned and he was a Chaplin in the Navy he gave me a dog tag stamp with the following lines from LOTR:

”Not all those who wander are lost.”

Several years later my status was much changed and I though of him often over that time. So I tracked him down and it was hard as the Church wouldn’t give me any information on him. Seems he had left the Church and joined the Episcopalians. A kind hearted secretary give me a clue as to where he was. I remember how she whispered into the phone just enough information that would allow me to track him down. I sent him a letter and a kartographer drawn map of Middle Earth, which he proudly had framed and hung in his office.
