[Magdalen] R.I.P. Our brother Jim Guthrie

[Eleanor Braun]

I'm deeply saddened by Jim's death. I pray angels welcome him, and provide
comfort to Albert and Jim's sister, and all who loved him.  I had the
pleasure of meeting him in person.  Indeed he was one of the first pub
members I met in person.  He was in DC for some meeting, and I picked him
up from that.  We went to St Paul's K Street for a Benediction of the
Blessed Sacrament, then we went to Union Station, had a light supper, and
he boarded his train back to NYC.  I got his rather colorful version of
what had gone on in various churches he attended.  What an interesting man
and life.
