Judson Memorial Church celebrated the blessing of the animals. Rev. Micah Bucey invited all living, deceased and stuffed animals to be blessed. When I was in Albuquerque, New Mexico I stayed with former Judsonites and their wonderful cats, 2/Too and MaGee. Micah blessed their photos. It was a loving, slightly batty (Judson, after all) service. It was capped with a reading from SONNY, the story of an elephant, written by Them Fogarty, illustrated by Ted Dawson. Lee Guilliatt created the stories.2/TT
