There and back again

I could not visit the OSV chapel yesterday, because Cordelia (our 14-year-old daughter) and I left Huntington at 5:20 a.m. to drive to Dubuque, Iowa, to retrieve Jacob and Stephen, the older two of our three sons. Both attend Loras College, and both will graduate this spring. I doubt that they will have a graduation ceremony, though when life resumes, we will throw them one heck of a party.

Loras held out longer than Marian University in Indianapolis, where Grace, our second-oldest daughter, is a freshman. Both have now gone to online courses for the rest of the academic year, so students were ordered to empty their dorm rooms.
