Dear Editor: Memories of Bishop McDonnell H.S.: Oh, the excitement of the class trip to Rye Beach, lunch in a small shoe box and a quarter for carfare and a drink.

How many times in my 87 years have I quoted Bishop Sheen when he said, “There was a time in your life when you were poor and you didn’t know it.”
