text: My father would have said that you and I "went to different schools together."  Thanks for sharing your memories and prompting me to recall mine. 
  
  I know it's almost a cliche to talk about how mean and horrible Catholic schools in general and nuns in particular were in the old days (in diebus antiquis).  However, I think the overwhelming majority of us who were actually there "back in the day" recall the schools, our teachers, our nuns and our priests with affection and gratitude.  I know I do!
