Dear Fr. DeGooyer, A belated congratulations on your ordination to the priesthood. I had a friend in California back in the 60’s with the same name. we attended sacred heart school in salinas Ca. My friend was also Episcopalian even though he went to the Catholic school. I remember going to an Episcopal church with Bruce for a choir rehersal and was impressed with the vibrant blue in the stained glass windows, so different from the colors in the Catholic churches. To this day I still refer to that shade of blue as episcopal blue. I think you are he.
Cheers,
Tom Farris
