ja 26th Sund

I know it's your busy day. The Marriage discussion of matrimony was gone.

I'm think of Father B. Was he in touch base mode with you? No, that was when I'd left the Church. I was way over the top in my rejection of going to and attending Mass.

I just couldn't make myself do it.

We were by now stepping out on the iron. Joe Reed, Jim Hartnett, Roland and Gene. I still remember that crew from more than 40 years ago.

Well, Ironwork has seen a revitalization. Finally, they have seen the light. A few of them dawning on them that that's how you get insurance, pension, retirement, the whole nine yards. And some, having gone over the hill, and down the retirement lane, you can see them showing up and doing some work George Mattice was one. I remember him just sitting up against the wall and eating his lunch while the rest of his went into the cafeteria at Lucent and chowed down.

And here, he was the Big Dog.

I remember how the hall used to be. That door into the room would be shut. Then they voted Mattice out and Beadie came on board and it was open up that door come into this room.

Of course, i asked Rojo other questions about my book. But now I know I'm going to have to come with prepared questions.

Because there's certain things I think of I should've asked 'em as I drive away from the hall maybe a day or two later.
