Hola. Sr. Liz sent this to me, but I'm sure she would like the news
contained in it to be shared with you all as well. I'm also sure that she
means Nica, not Nice here and there. It must be difficult for her and Joan
to be MK bound after so many decades of being out there in their mission
work. PW
p.s. Rev. Sue, Felicidades on passing your big test. I had no doubt. I sent
your CE donation with Mike who'll be in Nica later this week. PW

Dear Peter and Kathleen,

 Wheel--eel and the time keeps "speeding away." I've been going to write -
and here the summer is half gone!   I was away for 5 days mid June.  It was
a great trip up to Ithaca NY with Jack Gilroy and his wife, Helene.  Jack
had written (already 5 yrs. ago) a Novel "Absolute Flanagan" (which
character was taken after our Dad, Ben Salmon).  You know about his being a
CO. during WW1.  Jack contacted me by e-mail, wanting more information,
wanting also to do a Play - to be given in H.S. settings.  The upshot of it
all after they came to MK, was an invitation to share about our Dad with a
group of Peace and Justice Workers who meet once a month up-State.  It
turned out to be a very GOOD experience, meeting a lot of dedicated and
faithful workers for PEACE and seeing 'wine country' along with Cornell
University, Cayuga falls there and at the lake Cayuga.  Jack and Helene's
son have a home there (while they live in Chicago).  The group meet there
monthly and are into some good stuff.  That's the first trip I've made for a
year and the back held out O.K. (thanks be to God!)

Then all last week I was making the "Mission Institute".  It was given by a
Franciscan Priest, Michael Crosby - PhD in Theo. and a Masters in
Economics! - has written many books.  Title of the weeks presentations THE
GOSPEL MANDATE, RELATIONSHIPS AND THE ECONOMY!  It was quite powerful!  The
ECONOMY of Salvation (bringing in current econ. & business concepts - new
ideas for me using the Trinity's equality as the model of God's plan for us,
their Equality, Relationship and Love to be the model for all mission - that
"ALL" are included at the table.  He is against all the "isms" -
militarism, sexism, clericalism etc. etc. and supports Roy Bourgeois
(Mk.Fr.) in his stance for Women Priests.  I got one of his books "Power to
Compassion" - looks good.   There were several chances to "share" about YOUR
vision and work with H.S. students' emersion experiences to get a taste of
what the rest of the poor world endures.  Fr. has worked in Nice as well as
other Can. Am. countries.  He currently works in a Black Parish in Milwaukee
as well as giving lectures around the U.S. and elsewhere.

Joan left this A.M. early, flying to MI to see her sister, Marilyn, the
Carmelite and will stay a week.  I don't know if you ever met Maria Co
labella, M.M. who was also in Nice away back and up in Bogotá with Joan.
She is accompanying her.  This will be a good trip for Joan (she seems to
stay in that depression of having been 'kicked' out of Nice)!  Rita is
recovering from her 'broken hip and femur" (of last month!) and is talking
much more lately.  We had a 'expedite' for Joan last evening with fine
complements of YOUR TASTY WINE!   So THAT was fun and so good for a "Nice
Get-to-gather".  AND a BIG "THANK-YOU" to "Yourself" for "sponsoring" that
bit of enjoyment!  That you didn't know about - and now you do!   We
secretly hope Maria  Co labella will talk 'Nice-Turkey' with Joan and lift
her "out" of that negative stance.  That could well be, Maria is great and
has real talent along that line.  She currently works down in the Bronx (I
think) - Social Worker.

I missed "catching" mike the past month and half, having just left
'messages' and vice versa.  I wonder if you can go to the "Grange" - Oct.
3rd a Sunday will be "Nicaragua Festival Day".  That's a ways off - BUT -
with time vanishing - hope you can put it on your calendar.  Do Take Care
with hopes you "get in those swims" and good exercise too.  For now.

Con Amour, Orations y PAZ!  S. Eliz
