Joan of Arc Chapel at Marquette University

This chapel was brought from France by a rich woman, who reconstructed it on her land in New York.  Marquette University, a Catholic college a few blocks down from the Brumder, inherited this chapel.  They added the seating area so it could be used as a chapel for their students. Inside, one sees various artifacts and the stone upon which Joan of Arc prayed.

















Flower gardens and a fountain found in the courtyard in front of the chapel.

I haven't seen an air show since we lived in Atwater, near Castle AFB, and the one we saw from the deck of the Coral Sea
Aircraft carrier around 1980! I like the B-17!
