Family

I noted with sadness this morning that Cardinal Lustiger of Paris has passed away.

I’ve been intrigued by Cardinal Lustiger’s story for many years. I knew one of his cousins out west. This cousin worked for my father in the early 80s and the cousin's wife and I went to the same college. The last time I saw the cousin was at my dad’s memorial four years ago.

It’s interesting how families evolve….one part is a conservative Catholic clergyman in France, another is a Jewish lawyer in the American west.

And yet they were still family.
