  1. Hi dearest Thomas!! How often I have thought of you in my prayers. Yes–this is the same family–and we are genuinely fortunate to have a man with a Dominican Sister’s, shall we call it “GRASP”—or it’s real name, “Fear of God in light of parents’ getting a call at home”–for our new Police Chief. This is not about religion, but discipline. love you near and dear Thomas–and best to your wonderful family–for all generations!

  2. you knowit mary. we have the best in the area. iwas at mary magdalen at the same time to. so, that makes us old farts now?

  3. I am so glad we have the BPD we do. Dan Fitzgerald was a really good pick for chief. If I’m not mistaken, his family and my family were at St. Mary Magdalen at the same time when we were kids. Also, I hope 40 South keeps us up on the Special Olympics! I had the honor many years ago of organizing the first special needs games–(they weren’t S.O.) for children of GB. If you could see what it means for a sp. needs child to successfully compete–well it is quite an experience.
