[Magdalen] One thing after another

[Ginga Wilder]

Good news on the biopsy, the new job, Jenk's and Molly's last Sunday with
your parish, and Sam.  Let us know when you hear from the skin biopsy.

Prayers for Sam, that she will discern whether college would offer a future
she wants.  I have a friend who has years experience in education
psychology.  She says, "Education is not a race."  That was true in my
case...finally finished my graduate degree when I was 41.
