47 years at McDonogh and you want one memory: spirit parade, spirit parade announcements, first march across the bridge into Gilman, bollard decoration day, funeral for Edwards Gym, picnics on field trips, the graduations of two sons, exchanges with Odesa and Japan, cardboard boats, the house on Harley Hill, gardens, Room 1, Jane Bay on the back wall, paper cranes, Rome and lead poisoning, the chair, and D. Spagliardi noticing the changes in the halos of the Virgin Mary. And so many students.
