“Sister Michael is our Favorite!”

Nov 3rd “Sister Michael is our Favorite!”

If you were to “VOTE” on who would be your “FAVORITE” Nun – “Sister Michael” would receive the highest number of “VOTES!” In the years – that I was at the St. Vincent’s Home – that was the number “ONE” piece of gossip to go around – which Nun was the most respected – for “Fairness with all the children” – some of the Nuns had “favorites of the children” – and those favorites never got into any kind of trouble – even though – they were the “Ring-Leaders” of the situation causing something to be investigated? So, very early for a new child – you did need to keep your eyes on the look-out as to who was stirring up the trouble and keep the ears open – to hear who was reporting on who – then watch and see how the “JUSTICE” was handed out???

The above picture shows the boys really enjoying what they were doing under the supervision of Sister Michael. There was one thing that you knew – that is — when you were doing something with Sister Michael – that she was your best “FRIEND” – you could trust her – to direct you to do the correct thing – and her advice was the best. More of the NUNS – could have taken a little training under her guidance – and would have been – much better NUNS!

Sister Michael was assigned to the “BOYS-SIDE” – and my brothers were always saying how great she was – and the few times that I was on the Boys-Side – she was always just exactly as my brothers indicated she would be. Even, after my brothers left St. Vincent’s – they did continue to keep in touch with her – so I guess that is the proof – of something good and reliable – good “FRIENDSHIPS” last – forever!
