Sarah O'Boyle reached out to me for  help contacting anyone who might have
known her family in the Order. Folks can reply on the list or to me off the
list, and I  will forward to her and you can correspond directly. Also, is
there still a second generation community active somewhere? That might be
another place for her to connect. If someone can tell me how to join that
group, I will pass the information on.

Sarah would also like to know the address of the "B" Street house in
Lincoln.

I am attaching a picture of her family outside of the Lincoln House,
singing as usual.

Here is what Sarah sent:

Greetings,

My name is Sarah O’Boyle. My parents, Robert (now deceased) and Marilyn
O’Boyle, joined the Order in 1970, bringing me and my three older sisters,
Maureen, Audrey and Becky, to Chicago when I was one-year-old. After two
years, we moved to the Lincoln, Nebraska Religious House, where we lived
from 1972-74. We moved to our own house in Lincoln shortly after my
brother, Dennis, was born. “We decided that our decisions were best made in
our family,” as the line from our family song says.

We continued our involvement with the Order, and I went to Mexico in 1981
for the Sixth Grade Trip. The adult guides were Joseph Mathews (Jr.),
Araceli Mathews, Desmond Avery, Ann Avery and Lorena Cobio (Araceli’s
sister).

My parents, Becky, Dennis, and I lived in Lima, Peru from 1982-84, during
which time my parents hosted meetings and occasionally travelled to the
small village of Azpitia to help. At some point, I attended an RS-I course,
which was over-my-head. From 1986-89, my parents lived in Santiago, Chile
and remained connected to Order people and activities.

Though it was half a century ago, I’m seeking information from anyone who
may be able to give me insight into my upbringing. I have a few memories of
my life in Lincoln, but I’m especially curious about what my life and
schedule would have been like in Chicago as an infant and toddler. Does
anyone remember my parents? I would appreciate any information, subjective
or objective, about the Order in those days.

Thank you in advance,
Sarah O’Boyle
