>> small stuff great people. >> let's talk about father george you are a vallejo dominican. >> yes, iyears the parish was dominican and there was dominican sisters in the elementary school, the high school, and at one point when i graduated from high school, 50 years ago, there were 10 members of my class who entered religious life. >> wow. >> the parish there and the high school really fostered vocations. but for year after year, there were -- there was almost always one young man who entered the fryers so i can look back over father patrick la bell, martin walsh, raymond finnerty myself, one after another from that parish we got the nickname the vallejo dominicans and we wear that proudly. >> how do you feel today about guiding people through the spiritual gift of a retreat? how do you feel about being the former of that work? >> it is a wonderful job. it really is. i don't actually lead a lot of the retreats i do one retreat every quarter called the silent retreat, and that is for people who really basically want to do their own thing most of the time. so it is as much or as little
