That is funny, Cal! You really did have your moment of fame! Some one knew
you by name!! ;-)
I was almost afraid to read on, thinking that it was Pope John Paul,
himself! It would almost be like something he would do with his sense of
humor..I had the privledge of an audience with him when he was here in San
Antonio with a group of people of Polish descent from Panna Maria here in
Texas and we all got to sing in Polish together with him!.

It is awesome...we have been there three times and each time we have walked
away so impressed and still not having seen it all..It would take months, I
suppose...Did you go downstairs to the chapels right under the large statue
of St. Peter?
I would love to go back again.
