Ocean View Cottage, 4 BR's, 2 Baths, LR and Kitchen

This was the highlight of the trip for me, as the owner of the cottage knew the niece of Father McNeill well enough to knock on her door and bring me in to meet her. We sat around the kitchen table and she filled me in on the McNeill family history. We exchanged books and hopefully will visit again in New Jersey.  For more on this family story, click here.

We're spoiled by all this luxury

These stations of the cross in the Marguerite Gallant collection are an exact duplicate of one my grandmother had. Coincidence?
Marie worked in Milford, Pa for years. Milford is not very far from Larksville where my grandmother lived. Perhaps these were made in some nearby town.

Someone said there were 900 motor cycles riding.
