[Magdalen] He whose name must not be mentioned

[Allan Carr]

My wife and I stayed members of All Saints and commuted there for years
from Thousand Oaks and from Orange County, in spite of the distances. If we
weren't so decrepit, we'd still be attending All Saints.

If that make me a sanctified snowflake, at least I was sanctified in the
right place.
