Hello! Conrad Hilton was taught by the Sisters of Loretto. I loved them dearly. He gave them a lot of money to build schools. 1. the Loretto Hilton in Webster Groves, St. Louis area. 2. He built a convent in Las Vegas, New Mexico and 3. there is a motel (formerly a convent / church) in Santa Fe, NM (the one with the great winding staircase).

I saw a TV program on CNBC on Conrad Hilton. Quite interesting career. That got me interested in the connection between him & Paris. I googled a chart on & found the Southern Maryland connection via Conrad's first wife.
