Dear Clint,

You kindly invited me to CREDO’s Grand Opening. It was a beautiful event. I saw 3 people I know: you and two others. I spent the whole time (mostly) reading the credal statements. The librarian in me wanted to organize them differently–by theme. But I agree, they address the poor or comment on poverty from one point of view or another.

I am the second identified Episcopal priest who has posted here in response the melange you have created at CREDO. I am entirely grateful for your presence and your spirit, with unending admiration for your energy and creativity.

Hi Clint,
I think your articles in the BANG papers are great. Refreshing to
get a different perspective ——- one thats not so haughty and
condescending especially when it comes to the “masses”. Where is this new
restaurant going to be located? I read the article three times thinking I
missed it.
I recently stepped down from my Teamster positions. No I
didn’t retire and I’m in good health, I accepted the Co-Chair position on
the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust. A change, not as hectic,
but one with some interesting challenges and oppurtunities. It’s wonderful
to see that your still at it —— going forward.

Dear Clint Reilly,

Your column announcing the opening of CREDO is the most encouraging news in the
entire newspaper this morning! You have your priorities in order: hire an editor,
then a chef! You will feed the rabble, stimulate our minds, and then we will
charge forward energized to live creatively in an often chaotic and violent world.

I forsee that the military-industrial-intelligence-media-complex will soon crumble
as a direct result of the opening of CREDO!

You and I both have Don Quixote as our patron saint. I go to the play Man of
LaMancha whenever and wherever it is playing.

I am an Episcopal priest, rector of St. Peter’s in San Francisco for 19 years, and
now engaged in research, writing, and leading retreats, seminars and Mary Magdalene
Festivals. On my study door is a reproduction of Octavio Ocampo’s, “Visions of Don
Quixote” which reminds me that a fool and a wise man are the flip side of each
other. Perhaps CREDO will also have this painting displayed in a prominent
location?

I need a bit more information:
+ What is the location of this fine restaurant?
+ When will the Grand Opening occur?
+ I assume you will invite our mutual friend Fr. Gene Boyle to bless Credo on its
opening night?
+ Will you be wearing a Don Quixote outfit?
+ Will prices be affordable for rabble like me?

Perhaps your next column will include this vital information?

Cheers! May Don Quioxte and Sancho Panzo bless you!

Fr. J.B.B.

P.S. You cannot possibly fail. You would only have failed if you had not tried. My
epitaph will be, “Tell Them I tried.” Perhaps you would like that epitaph as well?

Is Credo open & what is the address?BTW, I really appreciate your advertorials that
run in the SJ MERC/News. Common sense — how uncommon in today’s
political/governmental world.

Clint,
As you know, I follow your column off and on. Don’t know why I caught
it this morning.
Anyway, best of luck on your new adventure, Credo. Only thing missing
from your column is the address. I suppose I could look it up. And I
will, next time I am in The City.
