I was hoping I'd connect to folks with that bit of personal history....I hope so. Ya gotta have heart, right?

We had a little old nun who taught us in grade school. Seemed like she was ninety, but what a character! She'd make a muscle in that sklnny little arm and say through all the creases: "Armstrong!", twinkling like a wee Yoda.

I remember that when things get tough.
