    Thank you. When I rewrite this story,. I'll take you comments and correct my errors. I didn't realize that their currency was in Francs. Poor investigation on my part.

    Now, we needed to go to the hospital to see Franz’s mother. I knew this wouldn’t be easy. Hans brought the car around. I took Franz’s hand and had him sit on my lap. “Franz, you know your mom is very, very ill. There is a possibility that she might be in a coma and not be able to see you or talk to you. But I know if she joins our Lord, she will be free of all pain and be able to look after you from Heaven. You need to be brave. I will always be there for you.” Walking into the hospital was

    The greatest determent is a strict and strong punishment. Adam is a no nonsense guy. His messages are clear.

    And I think he will be living a lot longer as well. I suspect the three that took retirement got the message.

    Adam will let the Archbishop handle that. I'm sure the Archbishop learned his lesson. Adam has a direct line to the Pope

    Yes, as drastic the punishment was, it was also a deterrent and a warning, don't mess with Adam or the Prince

    She will be. Billy will work with her. Justice needs to be delivered and will be.

    Justice will prevail. BTW, my money is on a boy first.

    Your comment reminds me of a clown face, looking from the right side, you would say he was smiling, looking from the left side, he was frowning. The news is full of men and women who take advantage of people to satisfy their own greed. In this case Adam. will disperse judgement.

    Yes, he will deal justly and the good news of finding a runner for the Olympics.

    If justice is to be served, it will be served royally. I certainly wouldn't want to be either of them.

    They are different people. The priest will have his day before Adam

    That night, Dad visited and told me the questions to ask the priest. He made comments about Franz and told me his mother would be joining him in two days. I was to adopt the boy. One of these days, I’m going to ask him why he comes at night. We had our early run, and now it was getting to be fun. We had three to attend the summer Olympics and were looking for more. That was Hans’s job. I dressed that morning in my formal clothes, I think Gerry called them robes, but he does that t

    Yes, when we let our heart guide us instead of our greed, everyone wins

    The lure of money. I'm sure the boy will be better off once Adam adopts him.

    Arriving at Liechtenstein always seemed like coming home. People were glad to see us and made us feel welcomed. The wedding was on everyone’s lips. That was all you heard, and the Palace was a hive of activity. The ballroom was decorated, tables were set, and an area was set aside for the musicians. The kitchens were humming, preparing samples of the food to be offered. Diane and Maria were busy preparing for the wedding. Diane’s dress was the one her grandmother wore when she married a pri

    I have you becoming a philosopher, great. I think picking Hypatia, a woman who broke the mold, was the right person to build the college around.

    Now I had time to put together a program to award a Master’s degree. At my monthly meeting with Academy and College staff, I discussed a Master’s degree program. “The degrees we give must be a continuation of the purpose of the schools. For example, we would offer a degree in diplomacy as an example of the direction we should take.” They asked to be given time to think about it. I agreed and said we could discuss this further at our next meeting. I informed them that the staff housing is fi

    I believe that Adam has enough requests for admittance to guaranteed the school will be a success.

    I have read the lliad several years ago. I find the Greek style of living at that time one of challenge and comradeship that has shaped the future. Greek literature should be required reading in all schools. I think when I was in school, teachers were either unaware of Greek literature or afraid of it.

    Yes, but I think the number of requests for admission helped as well as his English friend's comment
