Part of the land was sold off for a subdivision -- the main street through the development is now called "Hannan's Way" -- but the rest was donated to the Archdiocese of Washington with two conditions: it would be used for a church,{ |
| Because 0.89% of My Time is Not Enough Posted: 25 May 2010 08:14 AM PDT Sometimes it's dangerous putting a calculator into my hands. I can come up with some pretty wild ideas.
