Memorial Quilt

Abbot John receives the Memorial Quilt for the Retirement Center. The quilt was made by Judy Juntunen, of Corvallis, Oregon, in memory of Fr. Angelo Zankl. Judy met Fr. Angelo when she came to my graduation from St. John's School of Theology*Seminary.

Philipsburg,St. Maarten

Both the French and the Dutch claim the island of St. Maarten. The powers signed a treaty in 1648 that divided the island between them, though the two sides have distinct cultural characteristics. But it is their differences that add to the charm of this Caribbean hideaway and makes for some of the most delightful cuisine known throughout the world. Between Great Bay and the Great Salt Pond the Dutch capital Philipsburg fills a small stretch of land, and two main roads “Front Street and Back Street” cut across the city. Front Street is the main thoroughfare, featuring traditional West Indian architecture and duty –free shopping of imported goods and native crafts
