I remember Fr. Watrin very well. In fact, he wrote a recommendation letter for me. I think jesuit fathers have made a huge positive impact in thousands of their students' live. However, to address Bill Pusateri's point that Nepalis are interested in talking about sex... that comment was offensive. You can't guilt someone into expressing their sympathies. When I first read your post, it was as if you were commnading us to read your post...You said something like " I want you to read this"... I paraphrase. Wish I could find that thread... I ll post it later if I find it. We are not students at STX anymore with all due respoect to STX, for you to tell us what to do. In any case, how many threads do you in Sajha that is related to sex? Just because people didn't respond to your thread does not mean they did not find other ways to express their condolences. Considering Fr. Watrin's sad demise was more than a year ago, people may not have as much to saynow as they did then. Response to your thread is not a measure of our loyalty to STX or Nepal. And also, why did you assume that all those people who opened your thread were StX alums? I am not sure who you are, maybe I should but we are not obliged to respond to any thread posted here. Many of us hold Fr. Watrin, Fr. Donnelly, Fr. Coyne, Fr. Robins in high esteem and fully appreciate their contribution to Nepal and to more personally to students liek myself and not responding to a thread does not correctly reflect our respect towards them... May Fr. Watrin's kind soul rest in peace forever. k'dude
