Walker graduated from high school but did not attend college. He enlisted in the navy in 1965 and was trained in electronic communications. By the date of his retirement in 1976, he had attained the rank of chief warrant officer. He served tours of duty on nuclear-powered submarines and worked shore assignments in San Diego, Norfolk, and Charleston. In the fall of 1967 he contacted the Soviet embassy in Washington, D.C., and in return for appropriate compensation offered his services to the KGB. For eighteen years he delivered to the Soviets Navy cryptological materials, including secret codes, key lists, and manuals on the internal operations of U.S. cryptographic equipment. Former KGB Major General Oleg Kalugin has estimated that Walker was paid at least $1 million during his espionage career.
Walker enjoyed the considerable income that spying offered. Thus, upon retirement he found it necessary to recruit agents to provide him with the desired information. Walker's brother, Arthur, was a retired naval lieutenant commander and worked for the VSE (Value Systems Engineering) Corporation, which provided services to the navy. Arthur was able to provide his brother with material sought by the Soviets. John Walker's son Michael enlisted in the navy in December 1982. After an assignment on the U.S. aircraft carrier Nimitz in January 1984, he too became a source for secret material. Michael was placed in charge of the burn bag and could easily look for valuable documents on their way to destruction. He hid the selected material aboard ship until it could be delivered to his father. Perhaps John Walker's most valuable agent was not a family member but rather a former colleague and a senior chief radioman, Jerry Whitworth. During 1975–1979, Whitworth secured for Walker a wide range of secret material in cryptology. Whitworth's spying income was estimated to be about $330,000.
John Walker was an unscrupulous person, an accomplished liar, a heavy drinker, and a womanizer. His former wife, Barbara Crowley Walker, knew of his spying activity. Finally disenchanted by his corrupt behavior, she reported him to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in November 1984. Walker was placed under surveillance and was finally arrested while servicing a dead-drop zone in a rural area near Washington, D.C. His spy ring quickly unraveled upon his arrest. Walker and son Michael turned against Whitworth and bargained for a lighter sentence for Michael. Whitworth and Arthur Walker were left to the mercy of a judge and jury. On 7 November 1986, Michael Walker received a sentence of 25 years in prison. He was released on parole on 17 February 2000. Whitworth was given the harshest sentence: 365 years in prison and a $410,000 fine. Arthur Walker received life imprisonment coupled with a $250,000 fine. John Walker, the prime culprit and spy mastermind, received a life sentence.

by the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), 1987
The CCCC offers the following statement of guidance for faculty embarking on careers in the field of composition and rhetoric.
Candidates for a position in composition should find out when they are interviewed what the terms of employment will be. Does the school have a tenure system or some other kind of permanent status? If so, does the position carry eligibility for permanent status, and what criteria and procedures will apply? If the position is not eligible for permanent status, what are the possibilities/procedures for continued employment beyond the initial contract? If the candidate is told of these conditions in writing, or if these conditions are confirmed in writing, then the candidate should copy such correspondence and keep it. If the conditions are not in writing, then the candidate should include a detailed statement of his/her understanding of the conditions of employment in an acceptance letter, and keep a copy of that letter. Both personnel and policies change, so it is important to have written records on such matters. Administrators should assume responsibility for helping faculty members obtain information about their positions and for encouraging open communication about expectations.
After accepting a position, the candidate should discover and become familiar with any faculty handbooks, union contracts, and similar personnel policy materials. The new faculty member should know the practice, policy, and philosophy on such issues as released time, rewards for grant seeking, summer school teaching, consulting with industry or other schools, and the relative weight given to teaching, service, publication, and professional involvement in evaluations for reappointment, raises, promotion, and tenure. Candidates should know, for example, if there is a systematic review process and if so, what criteria and procedures are used. In any such review process, both the individual faculty member and the responsible administrator(s) have specific responsibilities; the new faculty member should understand these clearly.
If the new faculty member's understanding is in conflict with the written regulations, or if customary practice seems to deviate from them, then the faculty member should, before accepting reappointment, clarify the situation with the department chair, with documentation in the form of a letter from the chair or a letter of understanding from the faculty member to the chair.
In some institutions, beginning composition teachers have been required to shoulder inappropriate or excessive administrative responsibility. Administrative responsibility is "inappropriate or excessive" when it interferes with the young faculty member's ability to fulfill other requirements for reappointment, raises, promotion, or tenure, or when it places the candidate in conflicting relationships with senior faculty who will participate in decisions about such matters. For example, a junior faculty member in composition may be required to supervise the work of other, more senior faculty members who will participate directly in decisions about his/her reappointment, promotion, or tenure. The administrative and teaching burden of the position may be so heavy as to prevent the candidate from fulfilling requirements for scholarly work. Where a position does involve administrative responsibilities, a new faculty member should have a clear understanding, documented in writing, of how such administrative work will figure in evaluations.
Faculty members should have a clear understanding, in writing, of what activities will be considered important in evaluation for reappointment, raises, promotion, and tenure. Some institutions base such evaluations solely on teaching and other locally assigned activities. Where teaching is a major consideration, faculty members should know what factors are considered in evaluating teaching (e.g., attrition rates, student performance on departmental or institutional examinations, results of student surveys, classroom observation by peers or administrators) and the relative weight given to each factor. Some institutions consider service to the profession and/or scholarship as well. Where service to the profession is a factor, a junior faculty member needs to know which activities (e.g., workshops, committee assignments, offices) and which professional organizations are deemed important by the institution. Where scholarship is a factor, the junior faculty member needs to know which journals and types of publications will "count." Of particular concern are textbooks, computer software and documentation, creative writing, and collaboratively authored work; in each case, some institutions do and some do not value such work as scholarly activity. Given the wide variance among institutions on these matters, a new faculty member should seek and the department should provide detailed guidance from the beginning and throughout the early years of a career.
Many institutions have a formal procedure of annual review, with a written and/or oral evaluation by the department chair of the faculty member's performance in the areas relevant at that school (e.g., teaching, scholarship, and service to the institution or profession). Such procedures can give junior faculty members an indication of what progress they are making toward reappointment or tenure, though the actual reappointment or tenure process will involve levels of administration beyond the department and may involve factors not considered in annual reviews of individual performance, such as the resources and needs of the institution. Regardless of whether there is a formal procedure of annual review, most department chairs will appreciate a written report from a junior faculty member of his/her professional activities, including publications, participation in conferences and the like, course and curriculum development, proposals for external funding, teaching evaluations, awards and other professional recognition, and any other relevant matters. If the institution has no procedure to evaluate teaching, individual faculty members would do well to design and conduct their own course evaluations in as professional and objective a manner as possible, documenting the results carefully. If the institution provides a written annual evaluation, the candidate should keep a copy in his/her personal files. If the annual review is oral, the candidate should reply to it with a letter documenting his/her understanding of the results, keeping a copy on file. If there is no formal procedure for annual review, the above described annual report of one's professional activities is especially important, as it will be the sole means of documenting the candidate's efforts to fulfill the institution's requirements for reappointment, promotion, or permanent status. It may also prompt a busy department chair to provide some feedback, or even to institute an annual review process.
Candidates may find it helpful to seek mentors who can offer experienced counsel about the values and procedures of the institution. Some schools have formal systems of assigning mentors to new faculty members. New faculty members must realize, however, that the oral counsel of a mentor, even one formally designated, may be inaccurate and is not part of the official record that will determine matters of reappointment, promotion, or tenure.
As the time of consideration for tenure and/or promotion approaches, the department chair or other responsible administrator should provide the candidate with a full explanation of the procedures to be followed. The candidate should ensure that the department chair has an up-to-date written record of all the candidate's relevant professional activities. These should include publications, papers, talks or workshops, reviews, efforts to get grants, responses to service or scholarly activities, appointments to professional organizations, attendance at professional meetings, measures of accomplishment in course and program development and in administering writing programs, and any other activities that exhibit the professional development of the faculty member or professional service the faculty member has performed.
Candidates should keep a record of what procedures are followed throughout the promotion and/or tenure process, including steps taken by both the candidate and the institution. The timing, sequence, and manner in which procedures are followed may be of considerable importance in case of an appeal of an unfavorable decision. If the candidate feels that an unfair decision has been made, then he/she should appeal through channels, carefully following the appeal procedures required by the written rules of the institution.
Every institution strives for a spirit of collegiality, and junior faculty members should respect and practice collegiality while advancing their own careers and protecting their own interests. Balancing individual career interests with the goals and interests of the institution presents a challenge; meeting this challenge is a fundamental requirement of professionalism. All discussions and written communications on issues of evaluation and personal advancement should be professional, objective, and dispassionate.
The best way, finally, to prepare for the decision of reappointment, promotion, and/or tenure is to discharge professional responsibilities to the best of one's ability, and ensure that these efforts are fully recognized by the department and school administration. If scholarship is an expectation of the institution, this means establishing a consistent line of research, sharing results with colleagues through participation in professional meetings and publication in appropriate journals, and at the same time fulfilling the teaching and service obligations of the position. Beginning faculty at research-oriented institutions must pursue their research vigorously from the start of their careers, and they need and should seek feedback on the value set on their research by the institution.
At institutions where publishing is not an expectation, teaching and institutional involvement are the highest priorities in determining reappointment, promotion, and tenure. At such institutions, it is therefore especially important that faculty seek regular evaluations of their teaching effectiveness and institutional involvement, including written feedback from the department head on their performance. Faculty at such institutions should strive to be professionally active and current with their field through participation in regional and/or national conferences and workshops. Administrators at such institutions should recognize the importance of such activities and wherever possible support them.

PEOTONE, Ill. – A rare Beacon Ethyl Gasoline single-sided porcelain sign with a die-cut lighthouse-shaped design, made around 1940 and in remarkable condition (rated 9 out of 10) is expected to command between $40,000 and $60,000 at the Fall Peotone Petroliana & Automobilia Auction slated for Thursday and Friday, Oct. 17-18, by Matthews Auctions, LLC.
The two-day event will be held in Peotone, Ill., prior to the beginning of the Chicagoland Petroleum & Advertising Show—held twice a year, always in Peotone. The action will kick off on Thursday evening, Oct. 17, at 6 p.m. (CST), with 200 lots of petroliana (gas station collectibles) and automobilia. Another 450 lots will cross the block on Friday, Oct. 18, starting at 11:30 a.m.
The Beacon Ethyl Gasoline sign—measuring 48 inches by 30 inches and boasting great gloss and color—is similar to one Matthews Auctions sold at the Peotone auction this past spring (Feb. 28-Mar. 1). The one in this sale, though, is seen as a superior example. It is the expected top lot of the auction, although other pieces in the sale carry pre-sale estimates nearly as high.
One is an exceedingly rare Rickenbacker Authorized Flat Rate Service double-sided porcelain sign (it carries a pre-sale estimate of $25,000-$35,000). The sign says, "A car worthy of its name," a reference to the auto maker's famous founder, Eddie Rickenbacker, the highly decorated First World War flying ace. The sign, rated a high 9+, shows the firm's iconic logo and measures 16 inches by 30 inches.
Another is a scarce double-sided porcelain die-cut sign for Rand McNally Official Hotel, with a graphic of a Native American drawing on a wall (est. $25,000-$30,000). The sign, rated 9, measures 17 inches by 14 inches and features super gloss and color, with just a few chips at the top edge. It is the most common of the five types produced, and was probably made in the 1920s.
Vying for top lot honors will also be a Clipper Gasoline double-sided porcelain sign, oval and vertical in shape and impressive at 60 inches by 30 inches (est. $30,000-$40,000).
"This is one of the hardest petroliana signs to find," said Dan Matthews of Matthews Auctions of the Clipper sign. "I know of only two that sold privately in the past five years and they were in the same condition or maybe less."
A Wyeth Tires single-sided porcelain curved shield-shaped sign, rated near-mint at 9+ and showing a whimsical graphic of a boy in early driving gear sitting in a stack of tires, has a pre-sale estimate of $20,000 to $25,000. The 22-inch by 18-inch sign is marked "Wyeth Hdwe. & Mfg. Co., St. Joseph, Mo." and "Burdick Consumer Building, Chicago and Beaver Falls, Pa."
A Mohawk Gasoline single-sided tombstone-shaped neon sign mounted on a can, rated 9, 52 inches by 44 inches and with a graphic of an Indian with a single feather, with the can new and the neon in working condition, should make between $20,000 and $30,000; and an Oilzum Motor Oils ("The Cream of Pure Pennsylvania Oil") double-sided porcelain sign with logo, rated 9 and 8.75, 24 inches in diameter, with both sides showing nice gloss and color, should hit somewhere around $15,000 to $20,000.
Another lot deserving special mention is an original Auburn Sales and Service porcelain flange sign, rated 9.5, 15 inches by 22 inches and with excellent gloss and color (est. $10,000-$15,000).
"This is an authentic Auburn flange sign," Matthews said. "Most of the Auburn signs you see are flat, single-sided reproduction signs. But this one is guaranteed the real deal."
The venue for the auction (same as for the Chicagoland show) is located off Exit 327 off Interstate 57. The address is 710 West Street in Peotone. For GPS, the zip code is 60468.
For those unable to attend in person, Internet bidding will be provided by Proxibid. Phone and absentee bids will also be accepted. Previews will be held on auction days (Oct. 17, from 2 to 6 p.m. and Oct. 18 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
For more information about this auction, call 217.563.8880, e-mail to email@example.com or visit the Matthews Auctions website.

Won't You Get Naked with Me? ~ Tanille Geib
Your Own Kind of Beautiful.
When was the last time you looked in the mirror with confidence or honesty and said, "I love you," to your reflected self?
Years ago? Moments ago? Weeks? Never?
Years ago, one of my good friends was continuing her battle with her self-esteem and with being cozy in her own beautiful skin. I challenged her: every single day, look at yourself in the mirror and say, "I love you" to yourself.
Focus on one part at a time if it is too overwhelming like, "I love my thoughts on agriculture," "I love my nose," "I love the way I smirk when I know the answer in class," or "I love the way my eyes show my honesty." Then build up from there.
A lot of people ask me how I got comfortable with my body.
"When did it hit you?"
"How are you so damn happy and don't care about what other people think?"
"How are you so brave to be naked in your book?"
I think it is simple and complex—there isn't just one answer.
First off, I'm not interested in a fake dialogue with media and the superimposed expectations those affiliates put on us—or rather, that we invite into our homes and hearts. Stop watching crap. Stop reading crap that makes you "incomplete." Stop buying products that make you feel like you need more of something else.
Secondly, each person is unique and your uniqueness is real—the faster you accept it, the happier you'll be. Trust me.
Last month I decided to shave my head. It was a 4 a.m. decision with my artistic partner and roomie Chena (who is also my talented photographer). We were philosophizing in the wee hours of the night and taking turns sketching each other.
What features did we focus on in our drawings? How did we capture the angles of our cheeks or shape the lines into perfection? Being open. Being open to the moment and each other.
The week before my book launch, I dyed my natural hair color to reflect my favorite color, pink, complimented with black. Afterwards I felt odd.
I've made so many conscious steps to taking away my masks over the years, why did I, spur of the moment, go back?
I wanted my natural hair color back and it would take years to dye it out and it would be ruined. The fastest way was to shave it and let it grow back. Also, I've always wanted to have the experience of being a bald woman.
In junior high, I wanted to shave my head for cancer but I was moving to a new city and afraid of what people would think. Then, after high school I wanted to, but working in a professional world seemed incompatible.
As we clipped my curly locks, I felt freedom. I felt at peace. In a meditation break, my whole heart broke open.
I hope that everyone in the world will feel this secure in their own bodies. I hope that this kind of beautiful is contagious. I hopes that this kind of peace is a shared experience.
Can you imagine if everyone just loved themselves how happy the world could be?
In a chapter of my book, "The Belly Behind the Laughter," I tackle the complexity of my experiences relating to my positive body image. I've had men lust over my large breasts, and comment on my belly. That is unacceptable. I love all of myself; I expect you to do the same. I've noticed over the years as I respect myself and love myself more, other people do as well.
One of my favorite songs is called "Ball Cap" from Mother Mother. If you take the moment to connect with these sexy lyrics, to me, it represents all of our desires. We all want to connect. We all want to be vulnerable to another person.
I'll lose my ball cap
Well, only if you expose your loose fat
You know that beauty's only skin deep
Well, baby, baby, come on and skin me.
Every time I listen to this song I think, "Won't you get naked with me?"
I expose and celebrate myself in nude photography because I want to be honest with others and myself. I want others to be inspired to get naked.
Your kind of beautiful is unique and real—enjoy it.

So awesome! I only wish there were more of Chena's photos visible here! Any chance we could see more of her work?
Completely agree, second the motion for more of these kinds of images; so healing and helpful for everyone (men and women). I was in Los Vegas a long time ago with a dear male friend who is also deeply thoughtful and perceptive. Everywhere we went there were images of the current standardized version of the male fantasy (boobs-on-a-stick as another friend puts it) billboards,the sides of taxi cabs, flyers (thrust into my hand in the eventuality that I'd like these young ladies to visit my hotel room). It made me feel weird and awful and had the same impact on my friend, who said, "This is what society tells me I, as a straight man, should like and this is how I, as a man, should relate with women." Fortunately, he could reject that but it often feels like swimming against the stream as does someone having the courage and joy to celebrate their body as it is in this way. Well done ladies, and thank you on behalf of the many little girls who are growing up today with extremely limiting media images of women to contend with.
Rose! Thank you for your reply! I totally agree about both men and women dealing with these issues in our media streams. We can have voices and actively choose to swim harder and faster against the streams!
I'm blessed to be an honorary aunt for a beautiful girl named Daphne who I got to witness being born a month ago. I just kept thinking, gosh she is perfect. I'm so so so excited to support her self love. I'm so excited to see how she represents herself in this world. I'm so blessed that I can be a role model for her. Her parents and I were talking last night about how Daphne will be raised in a community of total acceptance and support for who she is and how she wants to live. I'm so excited to see her flourish with that kind of community.
Hey JC! Thanks for the reply. You can see more of Chena's work that we have collaborated on for Love & Cooking on my website: http://www.loveandcooking.ca

NEWPORT–From the on-field action to the man running the ship, the 2012 North Country football team will have a new look and feel to their program.
Gone from the team is the legendary Bob Davis, who retired after a spectacular run as the head coach of the Falcons.
With him goes the traditional option-based offense that has been the calling card of the program for years.
Also missing will be the class of 2011, a crew of nineteen talented players that were the backbone of the team's undefeated regular season.
BARTON – In what is becoming an alarming trend statewide, a Greensboro, N.C. man died after a car crash early yesterday morning but his passenger, who was wearing a seat belt, escaped with minor injuries.
State police say Quinn Finnegan, 23, lost control of his 1998 Mercedes Benz on Route 16 in Barton at around 1:10 AM. The vehicle left the south side of the road, traveled back across both lanes, went off the north side of the road and down a small embankment, struck several trees and overturned. The vehicle sustained damage to the front end and roof.
LYNDONVILLE – Two New York women and a Vermont country inn have settled a lawsuit that accused the business of refusing to host the couple's wedding reception.
Both sides are claiming a victory.
The American Civil Liberties Union says The Wildflower Inn in Lyndonville agreed to pay a $10,000 civil penalty to the Vermont Human Rights Commission and place $20,000 in a charitable trust.
Kate and Ming Linsley contacted the ACLU after Ming's mother was told last year by the Wildflower Inn's events manager that the inn didn't host "gay receptions" due to the innkeepers' "personal feelings."
NEWPORT CITY – Writing on the sidewalks has gotten three area residents in trouble with the city.
Diane Peel and Tom Farrow of Newport City and Jack Rogers of Irasburg were ticketed for writing in chalk between Second Street and Central Street. The three plan to fight the tickets in court.
After the group finished their project, Peel walked home, got into her car and passed by where the group had been 15-minutes earlier. There she saw a police officer taking pictures but she did not stop to question why. An hour later, Peel passed by again and the artwork was gone.
NEWPORT, VT - The North Country Union High School Board and school administrators went "back to school" Tuesday night as the monthly meeting focused on the school board's role as it relates to the community, students, administration and each other in their role managing an educational institution.
Harry Frank, Associate Director of Board Development for the Vermont School Boards Association, presented a series of topics that define the role and goals of a high school board.
At Willoughby III, 23 swimmers and 23 "yackers" took to the water from North Beach, swimming south for burgers and fresh picked corn on the cob waiting for them at South Beach (East).
BARTON – A thief wearing a wolf mask broke into Barton's Memory Lane during the very early hours Tuesday morning and stole between $15,000 and $20,000 worth of merchandise and a 400-pound safe.
The thieves stole gold and sterling silver jewelry, diamond earrings and other things.
It took years to build up the lost stock, store owners Dan and Catherine McMaster said. Most of the jewelry came from estates and many of the pieces were one of a kind. Some of the pieces were 100 years old.
NEWPORT CITY – The Newport City Council Monday scrambled to sign a resolution for the police department's new 2013 Ford Interceptor cruisers – both of them, even though the council had initially approved the purchase or lease of only one.
"We need to approve it because the police cars have already been delivered," said city manager John Ward Jr. "They were ordered in January."
The department also had to order a new cage for the cruisers because the existing ones don't fit the new cruisers.

Activist with Oxnard ties responds to Obama's immigration reform call
Eliseo Medina focused on Republican lawmakers when President Barack Obama called for immigration reform during Tuesday's State of the Union address.
"I was pleasantly surprised to see many of them applaud along with the Democrats, which I took as a very good sign," said Medina, an immigration activist who gained national attention by fasting for 22 days on the National Mall in November and December.
Medina, who owns a home in Oxnard, was at the president's address in Washington, D.C., as a guest of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco.
The retired international secretary-treasurer of the Service Employees International Union said he was encouraged by the president's call to fix a broken immigration system and understood why the remarks were limited.
"I thought his remarks were intended not only to say we need to get it done but to make sure the Republicans have some room to continue their internal discussions on what to do," he said.
House Republicans were expected to discuss immigration at a three-day retreat that began Wednesday.
As Medina listened to the speech, sitting next to the governor of Maryland and the president of the AFL-CIO, he also was struck by Obama's pledge not to wait for Congress to act on issues but to take action on his own.
The president did not link the comment specifically to immigration, but Medina heard it as an indirect message that if Congress does not move ahead, the White House could act on issues such as deportation.

Conquered by the West
Posted by Gianluca Attanasio on 24 March 2011 ·
Michael Carvill, priest of St. Charles since 1990, tells of his conquest of the West.
How did the presence in the United States of the Fraternity of St. Charles begin?
It began with me, when I did my year of diaconate in a downtown parish in Sacramento, California, at the invitation of the pastor. A few months after my arrival I was joined by Antonio Baracchini. Fr. Massimo Camisasca came to visit us twice during that year. It was not possible, however, to become established in that diocese.
After that first attempt, for about two years Antonio and I served in a parish in Tampa, Florida. There too, in the end we were not welcomed by the bishop. Of course, at that time – the early 90's – we were taking our first steps, and we were very inexperienced. After Agostino Molteni, the first to go on mission, in Brazil, it was us. We didn't know very well what it would take to open a house. We learned through the experience that the only way to become established in the United States would be to receive and accept an invitation from a bishop.
And did a bishop invite you?
Yes. After some time, I expressed to Fr. Massimo my desire to pursue my Licentiate at the John Paul II Institute in Washington. There I met Msgr. Lorenzo Albacete, who had a lively interest in the experience of the movement started by Fr. Giussani. One day he invited me to lunch. I spoke to him of our desire to find a way to establish our mission. He immediately took out his cell phone, called a friend of his and told him about us. On the line was Cardinal Sean O'Malley, at that time bishop of Fall River, Massachusetts. The result of the conversation was an appointment with him in Washington three days later. I was very nervous; it was the first time that I had to speak for the Fraternity before such a person. I had prepared my presentation. Bishop O'Malley entered the waiting room dressed as a Franciscan; we shook hands and sat down. I began by saying that I was from the Fraternity of St. Charles Borromeo, and he responded: "Yes, I know." I told him of our interest in a stable presence in the U.S. "Why don't you come to Fall River?" was his open and generous response. He didn't need great speeches or explanations; he simply invited us to settle in his diocese, south of Boston. And so we opened the first house: myself, Vincent Nagle and Antonio López.
How did you live that first experience of being established in America?
Fr. Massimo's closeness to us, especially through his many visits, was extremely important. I remember once he told us that he saw our house as being entirely sustained by the ideal. In fact we lived very intensely the great ideal of following the Church, of following Jesus Christ and of making him known as we have known him. As for the parish, at Fall River we found a wonderful community of elderly people, with whom we developed an excellent relationship; but there were few young families.
Then you left Fall River. Why?
In 2000 the bishop asked us to move to another parish, in a bigger city: Attleboro. Here we began an excellent relationship with the parishioners. The diocese, however, had to reduce the three parishes in the city to one. We offered to take charge of this project, but the diocese made other choices. In the meantime other bishops had begun to request our presence. In particular, the invitation of Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver, Colorado immediately caught our attention. He wrote us after reading Fr. Massimo's book, "Together on the Road": he was struck by our desire to live a common life as priests. In our dialogue with him an important prospect opened: the possibility of a missionary presence and a community to serve. All of this led us to a decision to move.
Not without sadness did we tell the bishop of Fall River that we would be leaving. We continue to cherish a great respect for Cardinal O'Malley and his successor. We are very grateful for all the years during which we were able to serve them; but I believe this was a step indicated to us by the Lord.
So now there is a house of the Fraternity in Denver…
The archbishop received us very much as a father. He entrusted to us a parish serving Broomfield, a small town founded only 30 years ago, 20 minutes from Denver. He has given us a great opportunity. Myself, Fr. Gabriele and Fr. Accursio can work together: I am the pastor, Gabriele is chaplain of the high school, and Accursio teaches and is chaplain in the parish middle school. The fact of having well-functioning Catholic schools in the parish gives us the opportunity to proclaim Christ to many young people. Moreover, what makes us joyful and confident in our task is the possibility offered to us in the house of continual challenge and support.
I am certain that without the 20 years of experiences – and ups and downs – we would never have reached where we are now. I remember with gratitude all those who participated in, and made their contribution to, this history, especially Vincent Nagle and Luca Brancolini, my companions in the house for years. I also think of the many seminarians who spent a year of formation with us. Many of them are by now on mission in the world; I follow them closely and pray for them.
What is Denver like?
Above all, it is a very young city. Think of it – the first settlements were established here at the foot of the Rocky Mountains only 150 years ago.
In the parish we have found a lively community, with many young families. Many people, after much wandering, have found a home in the U.S. – people from South America, from the Far East, but even from many other parts of the U.S.
Among others, the story of a refugee who fled Vietnam in the 70's has impressed me. At the time he was 20 years old. Attempting to escape the horrors of the war, he was shipwrecked twice and tortured. On the third try, he reached the U.S. He didn't know a word of English. He studied and worked non-stop in order to found a family. His wife is Catholic, he is Buddhist. He has gone to Mass every Sunday for 20 years. Now he has decided to ask for baptism.
