One of my closest friends and a person who had tremendous
influence on my life passed away last week.It was while
I was studying to be a Trappist monk at the Abbey
of Gethsemani in Kentucky (under the tutelage of Thomas 
Merton) that I first met Phil and his bother Dan Berrigan
Phil was a Josephite Priest and Dan was a Jesuit.
It was those two brothers who were instrunental
in getting me a scholarship to Gannon University.
Phil worked with blacks in the South.But those two
were anti-war activists-the Catonsville 9 and the Milwaukee
14- and went underground fo a period of time.As a matter
of fact I was visited by the FBI while a student
at Wichita State.
Phil,Che' Guevara,Thomas Merton ,Tim Leary- Gone
but not forgotte.
