Yes, I can remember the padres coming over to our house at Flynntown. They'd put their hats on the mantle and give me some pennies. Every penny I could throw in the hat was mine to keep. I have a letter my Mother wrote to her family just after the birth of one of her children at Flynntown and she talks about how the fathers sent over to the house a driver in a one-horse open sleigh so she could go to Christmas mass. Talk about high-speed transportation systems at St John's.
Memories are great things.
Keep it going. Your doing a great job. Check this page for updates soon. We will be adding a picture of the Flynn family's house in Flynntown.
