SAHS Alums:

I have been to 2 funerals for OSF Sisters who taught at SAHS in the early 70"s Sr. John Joseph and Sister Miriam Grace. I have read in the Philadelphia Inquirer that Sr. Christine Marie has just died this past week. I know MANY of the Sisters who taught at SAHS , St. Raphael's, St Anthony ES, etc have died over all these years. As I approach "OLD" age myself, I have come to Respect and Honor their dedication and demands on ALL of US. Anyone remember the Beethoven's Birthday Party Dec. 16, 1969, in My Class room, which was briefly interrupted by a very upset Sister Margaret Mahoney, only to change her tone-a LITTLE- when she realized I was at the center of the commotion?? They offered their lives to make all of us better people. Keep those still alive , I think of Sr. Marguerite O'Bierne who is an administrator at Neumann U. in Aston, Pa.

I intend to pay a visit to the Motherhouses of the Sisters who brought me up, the SSJ's, The Mercies, The IHM's, especially Sister Yolanda-(Latin 3 and 4 at Bishop Egan HS) and the OSF's over the summer.

Pray for us all and keep in touch when you can.
