Re: Seven Steps

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.

I was last in ROSSINTON HALL in 1945.

Re: Seven Steps

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.
