MY YOUNGEST BROTHER, MARK, GAVE ME A NEW NICKNAME
just in time for my 81st birthday today
APRIL 28, 1944
My brother, Mark, gave me the nickname "Father Wonderful" because he was getting tired of running into people who were always telling him how "wonderful" I was! He even had the sign (over my shoulder in the picture above) made for me as a gift. I am just thankful he hasn't run into any of my enemies! I guess, then, I would be called "Father Knott So Hot!"
I am reminded of my youngest sister who told me before she died that she was getting tired of people introducing her as "Father Knott's sister" as if she did not have a name and a life herself!
For this reason, I worry about my three Ray nephews. My youngest sister, Kaye, was married to Father Bob Ray's brother, Richard Ray. That means our three nephews-in-common have two uncles who are priests! Sadly, they "get it" from both directions!
