Speaker. on April 19 I was privileged to speak at the testimonial dinner honoring the Rev. Michael C. Bernat. pastor of Sacred Heart Church in WilkesBarre on the occasion of the golden jubilee of his ordination to the sacred priesthood. I have known this dedicated clergyman for many decades as one of the outstanding priests in the entire Roman Catholic Diocese of Scranton. An interesting feature of the souvenir booklet that marked the occasion was a fascinating account of the life and times of the Reverend Jubilarian beginning with the early immigrant days of his Slovak forbears in Olyphant. This trenchant biography is from the pen of a wellknown Pennsylvania regional historian. Joseph G.
