2 then 3

before i get to st. mike's, i i want my family to know they raised ti different families. Me an Bill work for our folk-free- from the time we were six or seven through high school and times beyond.  Our folks felt we misses out on a lot and felt they had to make it up with the three following three, beginning with Tim, 8 yrs my junior. kind of s guilt complex,  Bill seems to remember more of the nasty things than me as i kept myself absorbed with science and photography and music.
Mom and dad thought it important to continue our catholic upbringing or should i say upbeat-by this time, mostly vocal. It was bigger that St. Joe's with a  high school and a newer grade(1-8th) building down the road.  Still small as our graduating class was 44- it was 45, but one of the girls became pregnant and the nuns made her disappear, never to be seen again.  Now, you just take your baby to your classes  I remember 2 years: sophomore and senior. the sophomore nun's favorite phrase(i assume she is still alive today at 200 years old) was"mightily wrong with you people.  She would start teaching a class and all of a sudden go off on a tangent using that phrase.  She like coulius (sic) the colored leaf plants and had them in pots on every window shelf.  We had a rolling science cart and we would take the chemicals and boiling waters from experiments and instead of dumping them down the sink drain, we would pour them on each of her plants, for saying there was something mightily wrong with us and spend the rest of the class telling us how we were all going to burn for our sins. In any case, the plants would not die, in fact, they grew stronger and healthier.  So God watches out for those of "the cloth" even when the religion was not true.  More about St. Mike's later.
