This is St Richard's Church, 19th and Pollock St. in South Philadelpia. December 30, 2004.
I took this picture at about 8:50 AM.
When the 8:00 mass was over, I met a woman who remembered my grand uncle, James Charles Tomlin ( my father was named after him).
I mentioned that my maternal grandmother's family, the Tomlins, went to church here, pre-World War I. The lady said "You mean James Tomlin, the great singer"? Wow- she remembered, 65-70 years ago.
