I dropped into Marylake, just north of King City, on Christmas Day morning to hopefully get a picture of the nativity scene, if there was one. There was one and the photo I took is seen below. While there I met Father Eugene Tramble, Prior of the Marylake Monastery. He was all by himself and was playing the massive organ in quite an accomplished manner, although he was very self-deprecating when I complimented his musicianship. He chatted with me for several minutes and I was quite impressed by the 85-year-old's grasp of Marylake's significance to the local community and beyond. I was charmed.

Fr Eugene was a wonderful, gifted,friendly and generous priest. He was amazing character, humble and ever ready to sacrifice all, in order to help others in need. I will miss him forever. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace, Amen
