Barb Wilhelm and Mary Boardman Hanke attended the December
meeting of the Mary Catherine Goddard Chapter of the DAR. They had
lunch at the Boys Town Visitor's Center and then toured Father
Flanigan's home. The home was decorated as it was when Flanigan
lived there and is home to a large collection of photographs. I personally
liked the one by the Father's desk, it was a sweet little altar boy,
with a heck of a shiner!
