My Uncle Was A Jesuit

I (Joyce DiDonato) am number six of seven children and our holidays were always to Denver, Colorado, where we’d stay in a cabin owned by Jesuit priests. The Catholic church had a lot of land there and we had an uncle who was a priest, so we were allowed to stay free of charge — a necessity if you are going to take seven children away for the summer. We used to drive in an old Ford station wagon, with three rows of three seats and a big luggage rack on top. We were each given a 2ft by 2ft box to pack our things, and there was another for laundry detergent. Seven children fishing and hiking and messing about by a lake meant there was no laundry holiday for my mother.
