The second volume of Linton Hall Military School Memories has just been published.
It’s crammed with interesting, sometimes shocking chapters such as:
* What Sister Mary David said just four months after we emailed each other (either unbelievable or what you’d expect her to say – take your pick) (Chapter 18)
* All the punishments that were used on us (Chapter 24, a very long chapter)
* Biographies of Father Blase, Bill, and LHMS’ Second Commandant (Chapters 23, 20 and 17)
* How and why I got unfairly bumped by Sister Mary David, and why I think that the Commandant intervened on my behalf (pages 68-69)
* In 1942, LHMS used to have cadets as young as five years old (page 66)
* Strange things that a nun taught us in Religion class (Chapter 25)
* The wisest advice we got from the Commandant, Bill and Sister Mary David (page 71)
* One time Sister Mary David really trusted me (and rightly so) and the time she didn’t (but should have) (page 72)
* When a nun didn’t care, a cadet I barely knew did me a huge favor (Chapter 27)
* How a large part of the land the Benedictine Sisters received to educate poor boys ended up being sold off to build a $11 million ‘monastery’ (with a $132,000 “prayer labyrinth”) that houses about two dozen nuns (Chapter 29)
* How the vows that Benedictine nuns take are different than the ones that other nuns take (page 79)
* Should nuns be running military schools? Food for thought in Chapter 30
* In addition to 16 new chapters never published before, the book also includes all my blog posts since my first book was published, a list of 120 nuns buried at the Linton Hall Cemetery with dates (or years) of birth and death, plus many interesting photos and copies of documents.
