GREETINGS FROM ROME
Our sales manager, William Schwalm,
and I are in Italy to visit our suppliers
of Wood Carvings, Marble Altars and
Statuary, Mosaics, Vestments. etc. Later
we shall visit Spain, France, Germany and
Ireland. We were privileged to attend an
Audience of Pope John XXIII and he
blessed some medals which I had procured,
one of which is enclosed. Our Lady of
the Snows on this medal is taken from
the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore here.
Please accept this small token of our
appreciation and our greetings from the
Eternal City.
