From Steve Bogner
I can put blogs together, and I can write - but I'm not much of an artistic person. I was searching the web for pictures that I could use for the blog, and not having much luck at all. I'd search for various things via Google Images, but nothing ever hit the spot. Eventually my searching led to Alan Creech.
Alan has a blog, and after a quick look at it I could see he was a great photographer. And, he was born and raised in Harlan! I sent him a quick email telling him about our COAP trip and asked if he had any photos of the Harlan area or Holy Trinity that I could use. His response was enthusiastic, and in addition to sending some pictures he even put together the image for the header of this blog - the spire from Holy Trinity, the hills of Harlan, and the Jesuit seal from Bellarmine Chapel. Thanks Alan - it looks great!
I also learned from Alan that the Jesuits - Fr Lou Lipps, he said - used to serve at Holy Trinity parish in Harlan. Fr. Lou is at the Claver Jesuit Community now, and he has also led retreats at the Jesuit Spiritual Center at Milford. I'm getting the feeling now that there is a deep, rich history there in Harlan, and I'm looking forward to learning more.

Hi everybody! I hope the drive down went well and you are all getting settled in! I look forward to following the blog all week (when I get to take a break from the last-minute wedding prep) and I'm excited there is one this year! Miss you all and wish I could be there!
Love, Katie (and John)
P.S. Be safe!! Don't let any porch roofs fall on your heads.
