Today there was only one visit to a donor with Dave Loretan so the rest of the day was free for catching up with Maryknollers on the various campuses and getting a flu shot from the Maryknoll Health Services.

This was a day for several meetings. One of the first was with Sam Stanton, the executive director of the Maryknoll Lay Missioners. He and Alicia Butkiewicz, the Director of Mission, form the leadership team for MKLM. Sam Stanton, Executive Director of MKLM
Over at the old seminary building of the Maryknoll priests, I met with Fr. Ed McGovern, a member of the General Council of the Maryknoll Society (priests and brothers). Ed was in Cambodia for many years and lived with Charlie Dittmeier there. Ed McGovern
A sign on the road between Bethany, the headquarters building of the Maryknoll Lay Missioners, and the main Maryknoll building. Is it giving directions or making a political statement? Maryknoll sign
On a visit to the Maryknoll Sisters' Center, I cut through the woods on their property. I miss the falling leaves and autumn colors in Cambodia. Woods at the Sisters' Center
