I talked to friend Dorothy Morganti In the office why I was out for a couple days it was to clear out the apartment of my cousin John Dolan who’d died at the Lowell General he lived in the senior citizens place across the street from the Immaculate John had lived very frugal and had a twelve inch black and white TV on top of a bar stool in his sitting room this thirty years after the entire world had color TV’s Father Sannella at the funeral service gave me an option of readings and told me on the altar to lighten up I mention to Dorothy all this stuff and that it was the strangest thing to me that there was a check made out to the Immaculate on John’s kitchen table for exactly thirty-two dollars and twenty cents clear as day to Dotty, a Mormon convert he was tithing, Mike you know what that is? she adds she is teasing me we had discussed this matter before yes, I know, Dotty and it’s before taxes, right?
