[Magdalen] My favorite name...recently

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Couldn’t resist adding this which someone just emailed me -

>>> Sitting by the window of her convent one evening, Sister Barbara opened a letter from home.
>>> Inside the letter was a $100 bill her parents had sent. Sister Barbara smiled at the gesture.
>>> As she read the letter by the window, she noticed a shabbily dressed stranger leaning against the lamp post below.
>>> Quickly, she wrote, "Don't despair. - Sister Barbara," on a piece of paper, wrapped the $100 bill in it, 
>>> got the man's attention and tossed it out the window to him.
>>> The stranger picked it up, and with a puzzled expression and a tip of his hat, went off down the street.
>>> The next day, Sister Barbara was told that a man was at her door, insisting on seeing her. 
>>> She went down, and found the stranger waiting. Without a word, he handed her a huge wad of $100 bills.
>>> "What's this?" she asked.
>>>  
>>> "That's the $8,000 you have coming Sister,” he replied. "Don't Despair paid 80-to-1."
