Found: Tape of my father speaking to a High School Religion Class

April, 1982; about two weeks before he died, my father spoke to a Religion Class at Columbus (Catholic) High School. Topics include faith, love and support of family, judgment and retaining one's virginity thru masturbation. Yup, that's my dad.

This is a priceless memoir and shows the grace that your father had and his strength through weakness as being spiritually beneficial. We should aim not to let our trials produce spiritual deteriation in the individual, marriage or the family for they are all one. We have to be present to glorify the "Christ" in the "Lord's Prayer."

It is Quentin, and I'm so lucky to have it especially since I appreciate what he's saying now far better than I could as an awkward and rebellious 16 yr old. Thank you for commenting!

I am lucky to have both this man as my father and this woman as my sister. There is much to learn from each.
