Nan sent this in concerning and organ (almost twice our size) for the cathedral in St. Paul.
 
I made the St. Francis Bulletin.  (It is the home of my classmate, Fr. G. David Bline.)  You're a great guy.  Thank you for the compliment.  See their bulletin here.

Having read Fr. Bline's bulletin column a couple days ago, I wondered if you were going to post anything about that St. Francis bulletin. Yes, he did offer some kind and well-deserved appreciation of your blog and your homilies.

Of course, Fr. B. had better have given you a few kind words after saying that you looked exactly like the "worst paint job/statue in the diocese" which didn't "even look like a person"!
