St. Mary’s Seniors

February 11, 2015 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Superseniors Jane and Sam Graham To Offer a Personal View of “A Life Well Lived”

 by Robin Lind

 Fans of the popular PBS television series Downton Abbey are very familiar with Lord and Lady Grantham, but few recognize that ‘Grantham’ is simply the archaic English pronunciation of the popular American name “Graham.”

St. Mary’s Seniors are proud to welcome ‘Lord and Lady’ Graham (a.k.a.  Super-seniors Sam and Jane Graham) as their luncheon speakers on Wednesday February 11, talking about the very serious business of “Lives Well Lived” from the vantage of venerable age.

The Grahams, both of whom are in their 94th year, have been married for 68 years, and members of St. Mary’s since 1997. Jane is a lifelong Episcopalian; Sam only saw the light after he met Jane. Both are natives of Virginia. Both are graduates of the University of Virginia. They are the proud parents of Sam Jr., Richard and Sally, and grandparents of 11 grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

St. Mary’s Seniors gather at forenoon, lunch is served at 12:15 pm. The speakers will begin at 12:45 and we promise you may depart by 2 pm after ample time for questions.

We deeply regret having to cancel the January luncheon because of the ice but, mindful of Genesis 32:32, we did not want any to develop a limp after being “touched” on the thigh — by slipping and falling or — wrestling with an angel. Similar wisdom will guide us in February: please call the church office if you are worried about the weather.

All members of St. Mary’s are invited to attend, especially those juniors who are only postulants to the order of seniority. Please call the church office at 804-784-5678 or email info@stmarysgoochland.org for a lunch reservation which helps so much in our meal planning. Suggested donation is $5. We look forward to seeing you.

Mom’s Pot Roast, Slowly Roasted Chuck Roast,
Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, and Celery with Gravy,
