You Can’t Go Home Again
by the Right Reverend Dean E. Wolfe, Rector
Dear Friends,
I can’t believe it. It’s almost beyond my comprehension. I’m back in Centerville, Ohio attending my 50th High School Class Reunion! How is that possible? How is it possible for 50 years to race by in such short order? I know that many of you can relate to the feeling that things are happening more and more quickly. But this seems just ridiculous!
