The Editor:
Thanks for the bundle of five newspapers – my daughter Adelle and Robert Scott (husband since August 19, 2023) just love ICN (electronic) in San Francisco working hard to avoid Trump getting in.
Am grieving Arch’s passing – miss his wisdom and columns. We’ve been friends and colleagues since 1962. His wife Joanne is struggling to keep family traditions going – so loving and filled with hope.
His columns have left much to ponder and get involved with more, especially clericalism. May our Pope Francis be filled with God’s Spirit – to reconcile and make new!
Wish you good health and continued growth in the Spirit.
Frank Vandersteen, Toronto
