"Frankie enjoys kindergarten here and Timmy has recovered from pushing his hand through the storm door (eight stitches). Andy celebrated his first, fat birthday on December 1.

"Temporarily I have been struck by what might be called 'congregation's revenge.' With strained vocal cords acquired as assistant chaplain and teacher at Valley Forge Military Academy last year, aggravated by an ordinary sore throat, I have been put on total vocal rest for an uncertain length of time. Still, we all discover more than one way to skin a cat, and I am making do with lay readers, typed sermons, and a 'magic slate' for home visits. .. ."
