Jerry, the attendance was fantastic! There was literally not enough room for a single person inside the church - the place was so packed that there wasn't even any standing room left. We had a lot of local publicity, apparently. Well, if you're ever coming to town in the future, send me an e-mail and we'll work out a tour, including a visit to the underground burial crypts - I'm the Chair of the History Committee of the Old Cathedral's Bicentennial Campaign, and whether the doors are closed or not, I can get us in there!
