Dear Fr. Paul, congratulations on the anniversary of licensing today. Peter’s book arrived this a.m. with your note. Marilyn joins me in thanking you and the congregation for your kindness and thoughtfulness. Congratulations on both. St. James’ and your people are ever fondly remembered.
Yours in Christ,.
