ALUMNI CROSS PATHS
Our classmate Don Conroy was traveling the
mid-west recently, during the February ice storms off Lake Michigan. He visited Milwaukee, but had no beer. He
visited John Mulvihill in Chicago for a pranzone all'Italiana at Ristorante Bertucci in the suburb of Highwood. Names
of many classmates were mentioned, but always with renewed reverence. Conroy, Mulvihill, Manning, Moys and Broccolo
had traveled together to the Holy Land in 1965, just after the theology License exams. We remembered what a treat it
was to be able to use our Hebrew, such as the movable shewa and the "beghadkephath" for the dagesh in: beth, gimel, daleth,
kaph, pe, and taw. Ah, the things we learned at Mother Greg!
Our classmate Andy Karg renewed acquaintance with John Strynkowski (Brooklyn), from
an NAC class doppo di noi, who was giving a retreat to the priests of Erie Diocese. At mealtine they spoke of tante
belle cose delle anni passati. So moving was their meeting that they could hardly say "arrividerci." E sempre
cosi con noi bacherozzi!
A REALLY GREAT NEW
LINK TO 800 RESOURCES
Our "Link" page has a new link entitled: Pastoral Ministry Academics. It is the work of my classmate from Oxford,
John R. Miller, who attended Mount Marty College in Yankton, SD. The college is named after the Catholic prelate, Bishop
Marty. The site was just reworked on 7 October 2007. The site is praticularly Catholic in resources. These
resources include the Cardinal Newman Reader, a Biblical Concordance, the ability to search 89 books in the History of Ideas,
and access to the Yale University Divinity Library, among other sources. In all, with direct and indirect links, there
is access to some 800 resources.
