Those early influences are so powerful. I had a favorite nun who inspired me too. Her name was Sister Dolores Mary, and she was very funny, very sweet, and very smart. You have inspired me. I will one day tell her story! Last I heard she was still living, but that was several years ago. At the time she was celebrating 70 years in the order. I've regretted not reaching out to her and letting her know the influence she had on my life, for all the years since 5th grade.
