    Is this the late and lamented (at least by me) St. Bernard’s? I just drove by there about two days ago. How that area of town has changed.

    Okay, here’s the funny thing: I actually drove by and was going to take a picture to send to you. Great minds think alike.

    Once again, I saw something that I wasn’t aware of; or at least forgot about. I was driving nearby, and just happened to look over and saw the bell-tower. I didn’t have time to check it out, but I returned later. Frankly, it wasn’t easy to get a good angle on this thing; I stood in the back of my truck-bed to try to get high enough for a picture over the houses. Talk about a neighborhood school!
