Mike, Patrick was Roman Catholic. He and Mary Elizabeth were married at St. Patrick's Church in Baltimore, and their children were all raised Catholic. That was passed through more generations, so that I'm Catholic too. When I first arrived in North Carolina in 1966, we were an exotic species. The former chairman of the chemistry department at UNC asked me what church I attended, and of course I told him I was Catholic. His eyes widened, and he smiled a big smile, and said, "Really? I'm Episcopalian!!! I think that meant we were two peas in a pod, in the middle of the Bible Belt. Then he thought a moment and said, "Dr. Cameron was Catholic. He came in 1926." And that implied that I was the next Catholic on the chemistry department faculty! Maurice
