A recent note from Paul

Within a few hours of abandoning plans to attend the HOF dinner turning around and heading back home, I got an email from my daughter that Charles Cawley had passed away. I’m sure you know Mr Cawley from your work over the years with Benedict’s but I met Mr Cawley at our parish church in Camden, Maine, before I knew he was a St Benedicts alum.

It wasn’t until I saw Fr Ed at a Mass one day and asked him what brought him to Maine that I learned that.

Small world….Anyway over the last 15 or so years I would occasionally see Fr Ed, or go watch the Benedicts soccer team play in a tourney up here.

To make a long story short, Fr Ed, Mike Scanlon and 4 or 5 recent grads of the Hive were at Mr Cawleys’ funeral on the Saturday after the HOF dinner. Fr Ed gave a stirring eulogy and Benedicts presence added to the tribute to Charlie and Julie.Thought you might enjoy the story.
