Frederick Bohlen -- United Way Courage Award

For those of you who missed it, Trinity's own Fred Bohlen was on WTIC - AM this morning on their "Community Connections" segment. He was invited as the recipient of the United Way's 2008 Courage Award, having been nominated by his employer, Catholic Charities. Fred was foprmally honored at a luncheon a couple of weeks ago. This morning, he shared the story of his family's ordeal as refugees for 14 years in Liberia and Ivory Coast before being chosen by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees to be relocated to Hartford.

Fred and Emily's story is a remarkable story, and they are remarkable people. Next time you see Fred, please be sure to congratulate him on his award -- and if you haven't done so, spend some time getting to know this brother in Christ.

Have a blessed day! Don+
