BLASTS FROM THE PAST

This photo was taken in 1975 and was a vocations discernment retreat. Only three in this photo went on to be ordained, David Talley, Michael Roverse and me. Talley, in the center and my classmate, is now the Bishop of Memphis:


And this is a photo of the Savannah Deanery priests around 1987 or so. Can you pick out anyone?

Only ones I don't know are, front row, second from the left, and back row, 4th from the left.

Front row - Mike Smith, (?), Jerry McCarthy, John Kenneally

Back row - Herb Wellmeier, Pat Shinnick, (Name) Nolan, Danny Bourke, Bill Simmon, Mario Balbi, Allan McDonald, John Quang (I think), Mike Roverse, and Jim Mayo

Usually I am Robert Vaughn! And those are the only two I don't know, one definitely and maybe other are Ft. Stewart chaplains, the one in uniform arranged for us to meet at Stewart I think.

Father McDonald, I was about to post a Robert Vaughn lookalike comment.

The resemblance is amazing.

Pax.

My bad; I was thinking of Mea Culpa, the woman that won the Nobel Prize for poetry.

Ahh, Fr. Simmons (eternal rest grant to him, oh Lord) next to you in back row. Our family loved him so much. And we certainly loved you as well!
