Bishop's lunch

(1974 February)

Friday noon we meet at the Grill for lunch to meet our new Bishop Gaskell. I think he is for the new Trial Liturgy too.... He is going to ask us women to do Bible Study to the tune of $5.50 for materials. How outrageous this is, is something those in authority never guess as they get big salaries.

P.S. 3 p.m. Back home again after the lunch - fruit salad good, relishes excellent, a hot crisp roll, brown nut bread, coffee, lime torte desert all OK. But the hot plate! Mashed potatoes and gravy, and noodles and tuna - peas & carrots. Hardly any fish at all in the noodles. Very sad. The bishop is tall with dark hair, a build and face somewhat like Fr. Wiledge. Really no solution but finding out our needs today, but pleasant and nice to talk to.
