[Magdalen] Listmeet in Miniature

[Marion Thompson]

I have been remiss.  I met Ferdinand von Prondzynski on May 9 at his home
outside Aberdeen!  Had he not posted an invitation to join St. Andrew's
Cathedral, Aberdeen, via zoom on Corpus Christi two years ago, this
four-week trip to the UK may well not have happened at all.  His wife
Heather and my son Chris were there, too.
