Dear Nicholson Family and the Jesuit Community - I often think of Father Nicholson's gentle while stimulating teaching qualities from my time in his International Law class. Recently I gained further insight into the man from reading the recently published biography "Bob Drinan" by Raymond Schroth, SJ. Father Nicholson made us all feel more worthy.
