In grammar school, the nuns took us to see a film about St. Francis.

You were more blessed than us! I vividly recall going to the auditorium to watch a movie on the Distant Early Warning line. On the one hand, it was comforting to know that we had surveillance equipment along a northern perimeter (to protect us from invading communists ;-); on the other hand, it was frightening to ponder what would happen if they should break through the line.

Did you attend school in Forest Hills?

No, St. Joan of Arc, in Jackson Heights. Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart.

... more blessed than we ... (Have I ever mentioned that the nuns awarded me the English award in grammar school? : D

Blessed Triduum, NYer.
