An Introductory Note:
Click on any title to view these memoirs. The familiar "click here" prompt is not needed on this page. All of these files open up for viewing in your browser. A few of these files (those which involved scanning) will open up for viewing using Adobe's (pdf) Reader product. Some examples of this are People magazine, SemNet discussion, the Grotto map and all the maps used in the "Locating St. Joes..." memoir. Don't panic, you should not feel any difference; well...., except for the need to squint at the size of some of the words. So, due to some questions and comments, I have created a page for you that contains: Three Tips for viewing some of these memoir files. Enjoy!

A personal sports diary, Created by Don in 1951-52, provides insights and coverage of the adventures of the Rambler Team. Pages 1-6 are included here with more pages to be scanned. I am curious about how this old document will look on our website. It is handwritten and Don's original art work is included. Barbara Kohles very graciously loaned this book to us; It is a treasure. Thank you Barbara!!!

Books authored by former students and teachers (new section):
This is actually a new part of the Memoir page of our web site. It all began with Greg McAllister's book, and now we want to expand this section with other appropriate books written by former students and teachers. Not all of these books will be "strictly memoirs." But they will all be created from the minds of former seminarians and our teachers. I do have a small list of future additions; your suggestions will really be appreciated. Thank you.
Enjoy!
