Album Info:

l/r: MARGARET (PEGGY) BOURGEOIS-DUCHARME (mother), Sr. Gertrude, MARIANNE TURMEL-BOURGEOIS (maternal grandmother). I never did become accustomed to that name, especially since the Lithuanian nuns called me Sister Hertrude with their native accent. It was so harsh sounding.

  • Ms. Muriel, thank you for posting your photos and telling your story. I enjoyed it so much. I am Catholic and attended Parocial schools for 12 years. I was taught under the Sisters of St. Joseph (Phil., Pa), and the Sisters of the Holy Cross. I still correspond with my second grade teacher, Sr. Eileen Russell. I believe your story tells that you left the noviate. Is that correct? I wonder how you are doing now. I hope you and yours are well and God's blessings to you. Thank you again.
