Remember 95 St Joseph St.  ?


Dear Former Basilians,

                Yesterday we had our Board of Directors meeting at 95 St. Joseph St.  I know that many of you have not been to the Seminary for 30 or even 40 years.  I took some photos to jog your memory - some things are dramatically different and others are exactly the same. 
 
     Our newsletter, Rapport, will be sent to you at the beginning of May.  Norm Frenette will include some of these photos in that edition.
     The following board members were not able to attend the meeting:  Bob Madden, C.S.B., Norm Frenette, Fergal Nolan, Dwyer Sullivan, Jim Strickland.
 
     Hope you are enjoying good spring weather.

I've already had a couple of responses to the photos I sent out. 

Paul/Anne,
Thanks! It does bring old memories to the surface. I am not sure who all those old guys sitting
around the table are, though!

Paul, Thank you so much for the photos of what somebody, probably Al Gensa (sp.) or Bill Sheehan (sp.), called affectionately "Sem-sem".  Looking at the pictures was a virtual Proustian "madeleine experience" I was there! A blessed Holy Week to you and yours and a Joyous Easter.  Bob Boykin

Paul et Al,
It was 50 years ago for me.
Happy Easter 2007.
