"When It's Time To Say Goodbye" John Fitch IV Column

"When It's Time To Say Goodbye" John Fitch IV Column

In this column Cormier writes about saying goodbye to his son after settling him in at the college dormitory. He ponders the differences between saying goodbye to a son than to a daughter, who allows for more sentimentality. He comes to realize that all of their lives were filled with goodbyes and that all has already been said. This column was later reprinted in the St. Anthony's Messenger in the "1177 Main St. USA" column in November 1972.
