[Announce] KCKS Catholic Worker passes into glory

[Robert Waldrop]

I met Mary Meyer in 1997 when I was living in Kansas City, Missouri, and visited with her at Shalom House.  I've often thought that meeting her in person was a little like meeting Dorothy Day in person (I never met Dorothy in person so I don't know if this is true, but I guess Mary was how I imagined Dorothy Day would be).
