Future Plans for the Former SBHS New London Campus

In the interest of keeping our out-of-town classmates up to date on what is happening with their 'old stomping grounds' (the SBHS NL campus), here is an article from today's New London Day on the future plans for the Martin Center, formerly known as Marian Hall.

Bernard (aka Brother Bernard) Kenyon

Some of you may recall that one of the topics of conversation at the Get Together last Sunday was Bernard (aka Br. Bernard) Kenyon. I mentioned that he had been visiting relatives in the area during Christmas Week, but that he had sent me a message that he and his wife Joanne would be unable to attend the Get Together because they were returning to Baltimore on Saturday. Well, on Monday I receive a text from Joanne stating that Bernard had had a stroke, and that he was in Middlesex Hospital in Middletown. He condition was stable, but that it was going to be a long journey. Out of respect for their privacy, I have withheld making any announcement. 

Today, Joanne gave me the OK to let folks know. Here is her message: 

"Thanks to both of you. I gave him your message and he lit up.. Yes, please share and ask for prayers. He is improving but it will be a long journey. We hope to transfer him to Gaylord Rehab Center in the next few days. Will keep you posted.🙏" 

Photos are from August 2017, except for the last one. That is from the 1967 Crosier. At this point, Joanne is asking for your prayers. She has not mentioned visitors. I will post any updates.
