63 Years Ago Today, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                 That is right.  On this date in 1963, at the age of 8, I made my Fist Holy Communion in St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church, in Highland Park, New Jersey.

                                                   It was quite an event, and I remember it to this day.  Especially the part where Ricky Brown, who is still alive, despite his brother, whom we all called "T.T.," being already gone, threw up on the pew seat, and was removed to I thought Hell by a nun, who sprinkled green incense powder over the vomit, so that it looked like a grave mound.  I kept staring at this, knowing the full truth of what was underneath, all through the final part of the mass.

                                                     Still, it was a holy day, and on the wall of our refrigerator is a picture of me on that day, taken in our house.  Even before I knew who Jennifer Jones or Bernadette was, I was already going for the Oscar gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                         To those out there knowing someone about to make their First Holy Communion, may the day be joyous and blessed for all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                            You talk to Jesus, people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
