Clearly there was a sort of horizon one had to cross with him. But once you crossed it you got to know his mischievous and playful side. <br /><br />I miss him.<br /><br />-tTay Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629828686612214014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364579243036453022.post-3805175257139286832011-05-06T00:06:00.546-04:002011-05-06T00:06:00.546-04:00Br. Adam,
Thank you for this blog! You and ...Br. Adam,<br /><br /> Thank you for this blog! You and Br. Bede describe the people you write about so well. Your eulogy of Br. Douglas was wonderful. I have gone back to it now and again. <br /><br /> Br. Douglas was my first Associate Director. I joined the <br />Associates at age 24. When I was going through my postulancy I remember wanting to do everything just right. I wrote to Br. Douglas<br />asking some questions. He wrote back coming off with what I might term a very casual attitude. It bothered me then but now I see it as a gift. On a more personal note he always reminded me of Walter Matthau. For those who did not <br />have the good fortune to know Bro. Douglas his recounting of 9/11 is wonderful. It may still be found in the Community Meditations section.<br /><br /> Jeff Lowry, a/OHCJeff Lowryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406495265501125142noreply@blogger.com
