It still is even though I am not in touch with anyone from those days.Franhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-47344546934250033022010-02-24T08:09:58.371-07:002010-02-24T08:09:58.371-07:00I actually spent a little time, vey little time, a...I actually spent a little time, vey little time, at the Dominican House of Studies (St Albert's Priory) in Oakland. I worked with Fr Tom Kraft with regard to discerning a vocation to the priesthood and to be a Dominican. I daresay that if I had become a priest I would have been a Dominican. It has been fun to see all the friars I knew when they were brothers become pastors and priors, professors, etc. I still feel very connected. In fact, I sat next to Fr Peter at the luncheon after Mass on Monday.<br><br>My wife was music and liturgy coordinator at St. Catherine's for several years after we were married. Of course, in addition to being baptized, confirmed and communed at this Dominican parish, we were married there (we met there as students), and had our first two children baptized there, too. Holly still does music from time-to-time and goes to Mass there most of the time.Dcn Scott Dodgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09994604395739905637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-28818995675772165982010-02-24T08:20:07.845-07:002010-02-24T08:20:07.845-07:00Fran: Were in LA when you returned?
