Dad was absolutely Catholic—even spent some time in seminary. You have very accurate descriptions of both my parents, which is impressive after half a century! Thanks for reading, Jerry. It means a lot to me!

Well done, Annette. I never knew...! If I may ask, was your dad catholic? FWIW: I saw your mom as a very dignified, somewhat formal/reserved, but welcoming lady and your dad as an affable, kind man. One time, when he drove me home from playing with Jarrett, he gave me a heddon fishing lure. I was thrilled, and I have never forgotten that small act of giving. I thought very highly of both of your parents.

Uncle Dad - love how this starts, Annette - I have to wonder if there was some part of you that was a little surprised, despite your confusion, because we usually remember the things that give us a little poke best...
