This does make me feel like an antique. All Saints in Pasadena had
excellent adult education with several different opportunities every
Sunday. If I remember correctly, he had a PhD in English(?) and I

large parish hall. I think he must have been in his thirties.

He also used to lead back packing trips but I was not in shape to attend
such an adventure.

Thanks for posting this.
