Angels in America
In Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station there is a sculpting of an angel lifting up the body of a dead man. During my freshman year at Villanova I passed it numerous times, in awe at the craftsmanship. Only yesterday did I read the engraving at its base: “In Memory of the Men and Women of the Pennsylvania Railroad who Laid Down their Lives for Our Country, 1941-1945.”
A Walk Down West Fourth.
How a Connecticut farm-boy like me ended up in a city like New York I may never know, but what a treasure to live on West 4th Street. A step outside is like stepping out onto the stage, there are always new characters ready to perform!
