Sister Margaret Grace was a long time friend of my family. When she was Principal of Saint Joseph’s School in Needham, MA, she arranged for me to be tested to see if I should skip a grade in school because of my IQ. I tried to keep in contact with her through the years and when I found out today (8/1/20) that she had passed away, I was heartbroken and I am sitting here crying right now.
