Jonathan B. O'Brien

Sincere condolences goes out to the O'Brien family for your sad loss. May GOD be a source of comfort and strength as you mourn.

I met Jon and Joan in April 1981, exactly 37 years ago.

I drove up to Delaware with my son, Michael, not quite 15 years old and a 9th-grade student in Virginia. On the way, Michael asked me no, accused me, You're going to make me go to this place, aren't you? I responded reflexively; I wouldn't forgive myself if you didn't get to see St. Andrew's....
