Autograph Memories pg. 8
Mother Ermentrude, no sign in date , but,since most of the autograph activity was going on in “1949” she is a “49er!” Mother Ermentrude was also “Mother Superior” in charge when my brothers and I arrived on the scene. Sister was on the elderly side as I remember and very seldom saw her. That would be a good thing because she did put the “the fear of the ‘Lord’ in everyone” – that is the kids!
If ever there was talk of someone in “trouble” – some of the older kids would say, “Be sure to stand in front of the glass bookcase , She won’t try to hit you there – for fear of accidentally hitting the glass bookcase – her pride and joy!” I’m “Lucky” – I never got to see her office and bookcase!
Sister Meinulpha (02-13-52) signed in with a writing about the best she could say to someone – and that is “God Bless You” – and that there are no songs, words and wishes, with which to address someone! Is there anything better?
Sister Meinulpha replaced Mother Ermentrude in the last year or two of my being at St.Vincent’s. Sister has a most beautiful hand of writing – every letter perfect and the page is so lovely it really should be framed for all to see and read.
Thank you! Sisters, for all your “well wishes” and “God Bless You!”
