About the Author: Joseph Pearce
Joseph Pearce is a Catholic author and biographer who has written about subjects as various as GK Chesterton, economics, and Shakespeare.
The location of your September 27th talk seems particularly appropriate. Saint John Fisher would have something to say on the subject, I am sure!
Mr. Pearce, I see that you are going to St. John’s U. in Collegeville, MN. I am a 1966 grad of St. John’s Prep, which is on the same campus. As you know, St. John’s U. is connected to the abortion business. Please do not neglect to mention this subject in your speech. Evangelize if you can! More positively, Fr. Paul Marx O.S.B. is from St. John’s Abbey and is one of the founders of Human Life International. Thanks, Dan Deeny

Will greatly miss seeing you and Lou and Dale together again –
Please tell them I said hello, although I do hope to catch you all at the (possibly, hopefully?) ACS’s annual conference in northern N.J. in the however-long future…
Have a wonderful time!
God bless you.
P.S: Oh LOL! on that Minnesota theme –
& I almost missed it, too(!)
P.P.S: Please allow me to post this poem, brought to mind by the theme of the conference I will be missing, “Standing on Our Heads: Wonder as the Key to Happiness,” @
St. John Fisher College, Rochester, NY.
It is by the late, award-winning yet little known 20th century American poet, Ernestine Cobern Beyer, with permission from and my thanks to her daughter, Barbara Beyer Malley. It’s called:
The Remedy
A certain king of great renown
Saw everybody upside down.
It much disturbed him day and night,
So topsy-turvy was his sight.
To try to cure the good king’s eyes
There came a doctor old and wise
Who dosed the king with horrid brews,
And poured red pepper in his shoes.
These things the patient king endured,
But when the doctor cried, “You’re cured!”
His Highness blinked and glumly said:
“Sir! Must you stand upon your head?”
Came other clever doctors, then,
Distinguished and important men.
“The Cold Cure is the very thing!”
Said they, “Let’s try it on the king!”
They promptly wrapped him in a sheet
With lumps of ice at head and feet.
Although it was a famous one,
This cure was very little fun.
“You’re healed!” they cried. “Without a doubt,
Your sickness has been frozen out!”
But they were wrong- for all that froze
Was just the royal nose and toes.
Well, being men of great resource,
They tried the Hot Cure next, of course.
But though they baked him toe to brow,
His sole response to this was “OW!”
Then came a wizard, tall of hat,
Who cured the king as quick as that!
He simply turned him upside down
And stood His Highness on his crown.
“Hooray!” The king’s relief was vast.
“You all look right side up, at last!”

Some couples choose not to label their agreement to marry as engagement.[url=http://www.diamondrings.co.za/]jewelers[/url] This may be the case where one or both partners is marrying for the second time. In these cases, the groom may not propose in a formal manner
