I am saddened to learn of Steve's death. We enjoyed sharing ideas, advice and debate.  He remains a stand-out alumni of Class of 1964.  I remember going to SuperDogs near Whelan Pool to eat.  He tried to get me to ask for ketchup when I ordered.  He would have enjoyed the razzing and ridicule I would have received from the staff.  Didn't happen.  I knew for years you NEVER put ketchup on a Chicago Dog.  Steve was a fun guy, but also very serious.  He will be missed.  R.

   The world mourns Pope Francis;          
   he died this morning on Easter Monday.        
   Franciscus loved people.        
   May his memory be a blessing.

  The world has a new pope:      
          Pope Leo XIV          
  an American Augustinian,        
  born in Chicago,        
  a Cubs fan - "No!" say some,    
  "he's from the South Side."    
  Villanova 1977, degree in Math
  dual U.S. - Peruvian citizenship

  These days he watches football (soccer).

   In his inaugural homily, Pope Leo XIV
   underscored the ecumenical unity of   
   the Church.

David, thank you for sharing beautiful memories and tribute to Robey. You have enriched cherished memories for me.

P.S. Today is Michael Head's birthday.

I found David Merrill's "In Memory" tribute to his friend Robey Swartz a worthy read.

  great photo in front of Trevi Fountain!

    note for tourists:

    One coin thrown with your right hand 
    over your left shoulder into the fountain
    insures you will return to Roma.
