[Magdalen] this morning at the Eucharist

[Lynn Ronkainen]

one last desperate post under this drifted thread (thank you Jesus...)

I graduated from HS in '70. During the spring of my senior year, under 
intense pressure, the school district started to allow girls to wear 'pant 
suits' to school. Slacks, no. Jeans? heaven forbid!    (This was Birmingham 
schools, Scott).   The following spring when I came home from college, I 
went over to the old HS campus one day as school was letting out to see if I 
could visit with a few teachers I wanted to see and could not believe my 
eyes when girls were walking around with jean shorts!!  and blue jeans and 
everyone looked kind of bummy...  We did not wear uniforms previously but 
there was a code, stricter for girls (surprise, eh?) then guys, but the one 
year transformation was astounding.

Lynn, sounding  like a grumpy old person just now... : )

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
