have come to light during the effort to save St. Cyril School. Starting
with the wish of Tommy Geromichalos, these good deeds have continued and
multiplied. We want to capture and record as many of these stories as we
can. We hope to use some of these stories in future newsletters and on our
web site. If you have an inspirational story about the effort to save
Saint Cyril School that you can share with us, and allow us to share with
others, we would love to hear it. Don't worry about spelling or grammar;
we can proof read it before it gets printed.
