Franciscan University will always be special to me, because it was while I was working on my MA degree in Stuebenville that I became Byzantine Catholic.

Interesting since it was while working on my degree at Steubenville that I became an Extraordinary Rite Roman Catholic. hehe

An anonymous friend who had Hildebrand this past semester told me that he mentioned you, and spoke very highly of you, no less than three times through the course of the semester. It is safe to say that your presence and perspective is missed by many. I for one lament the fact that we were never able to get together.

I only met a few people from Phatmass during the two and a half years that I was FUS, and since I didn't attend liturgy at the school, I was only on campus for my classes and rarely met any undergrads.

Nevertheless, I made many good friends at the Trinity East dorm, and I remember fondly the T.E. caravan to the Ruthenian Church in Weirton every Sunday and Holy Day for divine liturgy.

It's not. I was the RA for three weeks last year (hehe...that was interesting).

Living in the Trinity East building was like living in a third world country, but I still have fond memories of the place. I will never forget how water ran down the inside of the windows in the men's common room the first time it rained.

The number of Eastern Catholics grew exponentially while I was there.

The dorm started the first semester with a Ukrainian Catholic (born and raised UGCC) named Dan, and a convert to the Ukrainian Church (Anthony), and then I became Ruthenian about a year or so later, and about a year after I changed rites Rosemary became Ruthenian, and -- of course -- Chelsea and his girlfriend are in the process of becoming Melkite Catholics, and I think that Ryan may also become Melkite pretty soon, at least based upon what he said in his last email to me.

Hey, I know all those people! Small world...

Actually Anthony was my roommate for like two years after he left Trinity East and Rosemary's uncle is one of my favorite theologians.

As long as I kept my dorm room window closed the smell of burning tires was bearable.

P.S. - The smell was actually from the steel mill, but it smelled like burning tires to me.
