I treasure the memory of spending time with my cousin Katherine at her home in Chestnut Hill when I was a student in high school. I took the bus from Wayne, a suburb of Philadelphia, to Boston. Katherine introduced me to Father Park with whom I corresponded for a long time. Sadly, when I moved to London England I lost touch with both. Katherine gave me a piece of jade on an antique chain, I wear it always and think of her each time I look at it. Katherine was so proud of her family and I wish I had the pleasure of meeting them. I was aware of Edward R.F Sheehan who, on a visit to Ireland took the first pictures of my family. Unfortunately, I never had an opportunity to thank him for this great gift he gave to my family. I am honoring his memory by reading his works.
