Bishop Tutu, part 3.

     This is a continuation of the story of Bishop Desmond Tutu coming to the Quad Cities to receive the Pacem In Terris Award.

     The day's public events for Bishop Tutu began with Matins at the Episcopal  Cathedral, as reported in the blog two days ago. A large facility was needed for the award presentation. St. Ambrose College, now University, is a Catholic Diocesan institution in Davenport, IA. St. Ambrose administration volunteered their field house, which was the largest facility in the Quad Cities.

    There were over 3000 in attendance. Selected to make the award presentation, in my downsizing now, we came across a picture of  making the presentation to Bishop Tutu. How I came be the presenter I've lost the memory. It was certainly an exciting moment.

   I'll attach a link to a copy of the program.
