random photograph #9

Photograph #8 is currently being examined by the Skylines forensic photograph laboratory for image authentication. Study it carefully and then try to detect something wrong with the picture. It appears to depict Sisters Celestine, Margaret Alacoque, and Marie de Lourdes, along with Mr. Lonergan, John Lennon and Yoko Ono. One easy question come to mind: Did Sister Marie de Lourdes ever teach any social studies subjects as did the other faculty members in the photo?

Hello from Florida!

St. Stephen's Church, Port Carbon George, circa 2008

Hello,
About the reunion....I don't want to miss the 4oth. I only attended the 25th since graduation...and I enjoyed every minute.

Best regards,
George D.
P.S. The blog site is excellent.

It was good hearing from George, who relocated from Port Carbon and now lives in southern Florida. Speaking of Florida, did anyone out there know that

Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors, was born in Florida in 1943 ? Melbourne to be exact. Also, Florida's state reptile is...what else? the alligator. Below is a photo of an alligator that was spotted recently in George's parking lot. Apparently the gator was suffering from reptile dysfunction as parking lots are not a gator's normal habitat.

Speaking of presidents, here is a photo of Mario Santilli, Student Council President 1967-1968, with Father Dan seated at the desk, and Anna Maria Alvarez on the left (with eyes closed). No they are not collecting Superbowl II wagers; they are busy counting mission money.
