[Magdalen] Help please: Revd Gerald White

[Jay Weigel]

I remember him quite well, and David Strang will remember him much better
from his days at St. Francis House in Madison. Fr. White would sub in for
our rector at St. Andrew's in Madison during Fr. Sabin's always scheduled
August vacation. He had a *most* impressive set of eyebrows. I would
occasionally go with my mother (provided she could drag me out of bed early
enough) to the 8 am service, which was always a said service anyway, and
often found myself bemused, as a young girl, by just how fast he said it,
as if he were in a hurry to be somewhere else, or as my kids would have
said, "outtathere and done". He also had a rather unusual what I might call
vocal tic which sounded like, for example, (and you have to remember this
was being said quite fast!) "our-m-Lord-and-m-Savior-m-Jesus-m-Christ". I
wasn't the only one who  picked  up on it, later on my brothers did too.
