Another post, Wed. evening

I will add to what Mary said. We have attended several educational sessions about the history of Lasallian education, the structure of the Lasallian brotherhood and schools, and learned a great deal about how this structure works. We visited the archives, where we saw LaSalle's own handwritten words, ca. 1700, as well as some of the preserved works of 14-15 year old scholars. In the museum we saw a chair which is featured in one of the well-known paintings of LaSalle, his hat...I can't remember everything, but I know people took photos so we will share those eventually. The Generalate, outside the museum, is also full of paintings of brothers who figure in Lasallian history.

In our discussions, we have all gotten to know each other in a way that would never happen by attending Convocation once a year. It's a great experience. Brother William's involvement makes it all the richer.

Well, some young men have been waiting for the one computer here at the Generalate for some time, so I will sign off for now. I haven't forgotten: 7 am on Tuesday morning! Buona cerra,
