The men who were shown being ordained in "Seven Steps" were the group who had been interned in France. My brother KEVIN WISEMAN was one of them.
Recently I had a very good meal with friends in ROSSINGTON HALL, which is a splendid hotel. A photo of these men with Fr. Howell, Provincial, is hung in the entrance Hall of the Hotel.
Dear Celia,
Many thanks for your message. Indeed, many thanks for your wonderful collection of photos
displayed at the Pelicans [Gallery] pages 157-160. I thought I knew 'nothing' about Rossington
Hall but know I see that Fr. Stan Lea was in charge of the move there from Autreppe in 1939
(see his obituary in obits page 13). I was at the Priory when he was Fr. Superior there in 1967.
Also Fr Tom O'Donnell was our Fr. Superior at St. Columba's in 1959/60. So there are many of us
who recall their amazing story. Your brother tells it well here at [Histories] on page 9.
Robbie.
