I moved away in 1978 but miss "home" very much. After our first week of school as freshmen and complaining to my friend Mike about having a 6 day school week, Br. Peter (or was it Br.

I am returning(I hope) the inspiration shared with me by "Prof" John Kolasa of a love for teaching and love of chemistry and love of others in the chemistry lab almost 40 years ago.
