BTW- I'm fairly certain I remembered Fr. Hewko mentioning he had family who lived in Barstow/ Bakersfield; if they do, I can't imagine it being very close for most of us, but it may be a reason for him to come out this way. If you'd all like, I'm happy to drive :) I should be speaking with him soon, hopefully I can see if I can convince him to come out this way.
