I have good memories of the nuns who educated me and my siblings. They were IHM nuns who operated just one elementary school in Chicago, where we were fortunate enough to be students in the ‘50s. They’re based in Monroe, Michigan, so serve mainly in that state. But they were excellent educators. I recall some of them were taking graduate courses t the University of Chicago. One of my classmates became a nun. We’re friends and have lunch every couple of years. During the Vietnam war she led a group called Women Against the War, and eventually became a Washington lobbyist for the Catholic church. Now she leads self help seminars here in metro Detroit. Smart lady and a true public servant.
The nun in the photo doesn’t strike me as aggressive. She appears more contemplative. But personal beliefs always affect what we see. Paul > On Aug 14, 2021, at 10:14 AM, Daniel J.
