Peter is a dinosaur paleontologist recently retired from Penn, where he taught vertebrate anatomy at the vet school in addition to various courses in the Geology Department. His thinking resonates with that of your Nancy. He and former priest Tom Connolly founded the Society of St.Bede,<br />an early morning discussion group whose attendees are largely members of the university community. Sometimes there are guest presenters, but usually one of the group begins the discussion with a brief presentation. Retired Penn Librarian Ronald Day presides over a Poetry Day. People bring in their favorites and read them aloud. An art historian member named Joan gave a beautifully illustrated talk about Saint Joan of Arc. <br /> Barbara Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02909046537058173198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8138115961972902942.post-85633635954788562982021-10-06T19:40:11.785-04:002021-10-06T19:40:11.785-04:00Feast of St. Francis 2021

Thanks for sending!<br /><br />I especially love your question: "Isn’t God in the creation from the bottom up instead of from the top down?"<br /><br />Ben and Gerry are doing the music at Good Shepherd this morning; and Sam is the babysitter -- can you believe?<br /><br />Peter & Katy have a new tiny puppy named Charley -- maybe he will be in attendance today! His middle name is "Prescott," which Katy told me means "out of the priest's house."<br /><br />We still have our revered old Josef. I never dreamed my cat would live for 18 years! Photos to follow under separate cover. XO, K.<br /><br />And from Nancy to me a few years later:<br /><br />Tue, 24 Mar 2009 <br /><br />While you were gone, I had two days of intense thoughts of you and Gerry's parents, wondering how they are and what they look like after so many years of not seeing them. I wonder if I was thinking of you all when you were speaking of me. I believe in these connections. Love, Nancy<br /><br />Nancy, Yes, I too am a believer! XO, K.
