| Introduction | I began my pilgrimage about 65 years ago with a father, mother, two sisters, and a brother. Eventually another sister and three brothers were added. We were Catholics. I had Catholic teachers, some priests and nuns. And, all were very good to me. In fact, I had an abundance of good adults in my life. I took this for granted, as all children should. As an adult I realize now that it’s a precious gift, as all adults should. I’ve lived an undistinguished life with my fair share of unmerited blame and credit. For instance, though I was with them at the game that night in grade 11, I was not one of the three guys who got drunk and barfed in the girls’ locker room. And, though I did play quarterback for our high school team, I was never actually any good. I was just the only player we had who couldn’t catch, block, tackle or kick. I have: a wonderful wife, Suzanne – we met in September, 1969, and have been together ever since – four great kids, some with partners who are also great, and two great grandchildren who, since they are the children of my child, not my grandchild, have to work at being great. Could life really be much better than this? |
