[Magdalen] PB nominees

[Judy Fleener]

Bill Jr. was/is on the nominating committee.  His favorite from the
interview process was Breidenthal.  I know some priests in his diocese who
love him.  Not knowing any of the candidates, I might vote for Ian Douglas
given his resume.  Susan, I had no idea that Dabney Smith had done what you
indicate.  That sounds like I don't believe you, I do.
