I was there when Paul died. His cot was across from mine, although I did not know him well, having been there only a week or so. The events surrounding hiis death were indeed massively and deliberately covered up. I have no idea what actually happened, but I have never believed the "sleepwalked off the roof" tale that force-fed to us at the time. I do wonder if one of the holy brothers sexually molested Paul the way they did me. I'm glad that someone has fond memories of the place; mine are less than pleasant.
My first thought was that this looked like one of those jigsaw puzzle photographs with the castle or villa in the autumn--so many gorgeous colours. This would make an excellent 1000-pc.
There's an idea: Jigsaw puzzles featuring Motts' photos. I'd rather do one of these than the same old Bavarian castle or fishing boat puzzles they always have. [And you can only do so many glow-in-the-dark wizard puzzles...]
Amazing that I have stumbled on this site. If this is the chalkboard in the Study Hall - I, along with Terry Donovan, and the whole student body, at the time, were studying in this room on the afternoon of 11/22/63 when we were informed that JFK had been assassinated. I and my class were freshman and had been at the school only since September. I remember looking over at Eddie Balint at that moment, sitting at his desk, a pretty tough kid, and seeing him cry. Many, many fond memories of this once pristine, well cared for, happy school and community. I "visited" the site myself some years ago and it was like seeing the once majestic Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic. Terry, if you are still out there let me know. Did you know that Pat's name is on The Wall?
