DON VIGANO: COMPLETE COLLECTION OF LETTERS AVAILABLE IN
ONE FILE
ROME: 23rd August -- Thanks to the work of (Joe)
Thinh Nguyen sdb from the US, we now have a complete collection of the
Letters from AGC from Don Vigano's time as Rector Major. This is a
precious collection and is now available on BOSCONET. Readers may be
interested in how this came about since it is an example of good collaboration
for the benefit of all. Some years ago Thinh wrote to me asking if I had
such and such a Letter of Fr. Vigano's. I had several but perhaps not the
one he was looking for. In due course, Thinh was able to scan all of these
letters as an RTF collection (don't be worried about the technicalities of
that. MS Word will open RTF files which are basically text files without
too much other code by way of formatting). They have been 'zipped' to
reduce space a little, so you need un unzipping program (Winzip 8.0 is free and
downloadable from almost anywhere...if you haven't got it and want it I'll send
it to you).
Now, one question is: are there more such goodies lying
around on someone's hard drive? Want to share them? Hardly a day
goes past when I don't receive a request for one or other item, and it's great
to be able to say, 'yes, we have it'. JBF
