Greetings:

Kind of excited to find this here. Made a Cursillo in Quincy, IL about 25 years ago .... yeah, I can't believe it was that long ago either.

After I had made my Cursillo 25 years ago, I came back to Springfield and luckily, there was another two guys here that had made a Cursillo that I grouped w/ for a good long time and we're still friends. However tho, since there wasn't a Cursillo or Walk to Emmas to hear, it made it a little difficult.

But my return visit was great and remains so today. Throughout all this time, Quincy has remained ecuminical in its formation and as such, it is thriving. I had an opportunity to make a return visit this past week and watched ... no less than 50 candidates take a big step forward as many, if not all, talked about their experiences the final nite.
One guy from MO stepped to the mic and said with a grin on his face .... "I came here this weekend thinking I was going to show you all how to pray" (then he smiled real big and brought the house down)he went on to explain, he wasn't sure if he knew what prayer was before - etc.; but it was great; another person said, "the other nite I thought I was walking into heaven and I was willing to go" etc. It was just really neat to watch each of them talk about their experience and recall my own.

Anyway, I just recently got on your news letter, so .... we'll see how we can make a difference -- but just wanted to say hello in this manner. I have a couple of people I want to sponsor later -- can't wait but time will tell.

Take care, Dan
