My wife and I also commented about Fr. Brooks being present on the dais. š
I am sure he was in spirit. He would have been very pleased with the Inauguration of his successor. It was a spectacular day to behold for our community.

When you have a little extra time, we'd probably all appreciate getting your family tree back to the Garden of Eden and I'd ask if you were from Adam's side or Eve's but I know where that would head. When I was in Iceland several years ago a native told me that everyone in Iceland can trace their family back at least until the 12th century. Not the Garden of Eden but pretty good. A lot better than I can do.

When you have a little extra time, we'd probably all appreciate getting your family tree back to the Garden of Eden and I'd ask iyou were from Adam's side or Eve's but I know where that would head. That's a very problematic request, given that the ancestors bypassed the Garden . My maternal haplogroup is U5a2c, which is derivative of U5a. U5a arose 22,000 years ago, when the climate in Europe was hardly a garden. Glaciers still covered most on Northern Europe during the last millennia of the Great Ice Age. But to much more recent times. Merogais (270-307) for whom there is an authoritative Roman record, is a lineal ancestor of Charlemagne. My Norman ancestors of the Conquest of England are descendants of the Carolingians (Charlemagne), and the Vikings led by Rollo, who secured Normandy from the king of west Francia at the end of Carolingian dynasty, Charles the Simple. Merogais was a leader of the Salian Franks, who were pushed out of what is now northwest Germany by the Saxons. In 297, the Salian Franks sought Roman protection on the island of Batavia (present day Netherlands, near the mouth of the Rhine), after fleeing the Saxons. The Salian Franks soon dominated and subsumed the Batavi, the tribe living on the island. The Batavi had a military relationship with Rome for several centuries. (This relationship dated back to Julius Caesar, who after watching Batavian cavalry ford rivers in formation, signed them on as auxiliaries. The cavalry of the Salian Franks / Batavi are said to be depicted in the triumphal arch erected by Constantine the Great, commemorating his In Hoc Signo Vinces victory in 312 at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge over the Tiber River.) In 306, Merogais crossed the Waal river from Batavia with the Salian Franks into Roman Gaul while Constantine Augustus was fighting the Picts in England. (Constantine Augustus would become Constantine the Great.) In 307, in the amphitheater at Trier, Rhineland, Germany, Merogais, having been accused of treachery for crossing the Waal, is executed on the orders of Constantine Augustus. It is recorded he was torn apart by wild animals. (The amphitheater at Trier still exists.) Merogais is the grandfather of Teutomer, who becomes Roman governor of Dacia Ripensis (present-day Bulgaria). Teutomer commands Roman Legio XIII, the Gemini (who crossed the Rubicon with Caesar), and Legio V, the Macedonians. Teutomer's son, Flavius Richomeres becomes a Consul of Rome. -------------------------------------- Time to stop. Harvard & Princeton in a third overtime.

PVR's emotional intelligence and decency really shine through.

PVR's emotional intelligence and decency really shine through. Accurate use of the āemotional intelligenceā word choice. It is sometimes overused or misused.
