The Oversight Committee for the Search, Transition and Election certified Rev. Margaret Babcock and Rev. Sandra Casey-Martus.
The two candidates will be added to the ballot for the March 20 election after background checks.
All of the candidates will be on a statewide tour or “walkabout” between Feb. 24 and March 4.
“It’s actually an advantage to have the walkabout in winter,” said John Peacock, the director of the Wyoming Association of Churches and a member of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church here.
I associate the name “F Michael Perko” with a well-known RC professor at Loyola University Chicago. He commented on a paper of mine on Episcopal church schools at a conference in Toronto back in the late 1980s, and I cited him in an article published in the J of Ecclesiastical History in 1991 (“The High Church Origins of the American Boarding School”–for people interested in that sort of thing; and on this blog, who knows?). This is not the same person, is it? The name–simply a coincidence? Or what?
Boy, i wouldn’t bet against it being the same person . . .
David, this should answer your question:

Terry:
Thanks very much! The same person, indeed. I thought the name was too much of a coincidence–and the age seemed to fit. (The business about “his wife, Lisa” might have had something to do with Perko’s change. I doubt that the assorted dogs made much difference one way or the other.)
Btw, that Web page’s author / editor is not a great speller, is s/he? And is “offices” now a verb? That’s a new one; I think I’ll wait a while to use it, though. But then I’m still not using “reference” as a verb. The world is most definitely passing me by.
