We recently found a number of very special Christmas cards in our archives.
The cover (left) shows a rendering of the old De La SALLE Academy building at 1524 Paseo. Interestingly, there is a normal size rendering of St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle welcoming two students into the old school, with a "Big"rendering of St. de la Salle to the side. (Technically, St. de la Salle was not a brother, he was a priest, although he was the founder of the Christian Brothers.)
Inside the card is a chronology of the Catholic school's history, from the foundation of the school as St. Patrick's in 1887, to the closing of the De La SALLE High School in April 1971.
I took a magnifying glass to the corner of the rendering where I saw the artist's name written as "Burdette".
I'll send you one of these cards if you respond to this to Blog. No donation is required And if you're the artist or a friend of the Brothers, Godfrey Kobets or Norman Sanders, I'll send you two!
