Catching up on 105 years of history

Irish Dominican Paul Lawlor chatting with the oldest Vietnamese Dominican Sister. The Sister was born in 1914. No doubt they are having an interesting conversation.

This lady was born the year before Paul's mother, who lived to the venerable age of 101. And the Dominican Sister was born five years after my father, who lived to 95. It so happens that Paul's mother and my father often reminisced together in West Kerry about 'the good old days'.

No doubt Paul and Sister are reminiscing too?

There are approximately 3,400 Dominican Sisters in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
