You will not believe I was discussing this with a friend of mine (sacristan). Her and her husband, who is ill, are retired Fordham University faculty. For years i’ve asked him to load me down with a real education from the basics up, using the system. His name is Jay, pray for him please. He’s really not doing well and i’m attempting to suck every ounce of knowledge out of him.
