PROGRAM: Paul Ehrlich designed the Priest House in 1991 at St Mary's. It is being
turned into a state approved nursing home. An architect company from Milwaukee said
it couldn't be done. Paul Ehrlich was asked what could be done. Paul talked his
Architect son Mike into giving it a shot. 
Paul introduced Mike,one of our members, who told us of the trials and tribulation
of redesigning the building to suit the specs of the state building codes and those
of the Health Dept. After more time and effort being devoted to meeting the specs
than doing the actual work, the finished product will emerge after a year and a half
of effort. 
Great story Mike and Paul. The Almighty will be proud of you.
