        The governor's mom. I've seen that cathedral in St. Aug's. See where the Monson Motor Lodge was too. When I first visited they'd found colonial era china under the foundation

        Yes..we find native, Spanish and British Colonial. The Minorcan story here is remarkable. I do wish the new A.A. Museum would take and preserve some of Mrs. Harper’s arifact. She has saved so much. I fear her story will be lost.pic.twitter.com/s0R2edhSey

        I do wish more acedemia here took the time to know the West Augustinians. They are the lifeblood of the history. I worry all the time about life stories not being recorded.

        This is one of the most gut wrenching, cowardice, heartless acts in US history. The Birmingham Post & The Arizona Republic among others did not acknowledge the bombing. Some rationalized the cowardly act. To see people today demonize protest abuse of POC is not surprising.pic.twitter.com/jdVuYsSwpG

        Clearly, "both sides" were to blame in the bombing of those children at church!
