[Magdalen] National cathedral

[Marion Thompson]

I was thrilled to meet so many of the list  regulars and to be able to 
put a face to the name still.  It really was one of life's high points 
-- as was the Jon Stewart/David Colbert  mega-event the next day.  Wow!  
So many rich memories.

A number of us were honoured to have a speaking part.  Memorable, indeed.  A jolly lunch after at some Mexican restaurant.  I believe we were 18.  :-)
