Canlmlogist Demtst Internist Lab/X·rar Mental Health Nutritionist OB/GY:...: Optometrut Pcd1atn ian Surgeon OPINION Let's honor thiS record of accomplishment

The I 25th anniversary of the founding of the order of the Sisters of St Joseph in Boston is important news that resonates far beyond the apparent sectarian limits of this group, which is narrowly defined as one member of Boston's Roman Catholic community. One reason to honor the women who came here to create a parochial school system is suggested by the list of institutions they established. For an order that never had as many as 2,000 members at any one time, this is a staggering achievement. There is some thing profoundly American in the willingness of those four original nuns to travel to a strange city and calmly, prayerfully, modestly go about constructing a system that educated generations of children, and served a range of complex issues that accompanied the massive immigration and the tumultuous social and technical innovation of the past century. But it would be inadequate and unjust to honor tll'e Sisters of St. Joseph only for their history. As we struggle to re-imagine how our education sy tern could better serve the children of today - and tomorrow - we would do well to learn more about what this order accomplished. Ideas about how to meet basic social needs have changed in 125 years.

Marino, 23, no longer feels indestructible as he struggles through his treabnent at the Greenery Rehabilitation Center in Brighton. There, he is trying to rebuild his life after he crashed his Nissan 300 ZX last October while driving home from church on a Sunday morning in East Hampton. The accident caused anoxia to Marino's brain- a loss of oxygen that has made it difficult for him to move. Marino is one of the 170 patients who call the Greenery their home. While Marino is getting treatment for his brain injuries, the center also offers long-term care, treats coma patients and has a sub-acute care unit. In addition, the Greenery is the first facility in the country to offer inpatient dialysis.
