Yes, you must have caught that fast because I edited it less than 5 mins after posting. I grew up next to White Hall WV and had a bit of a brain lapse.

You must have fixed it just before Fr Matt quoted your post. I doubt he edited the quoted text in his post after he posted ^_^

ha! great fix, I didn’t even notice.

by the by, that monastery is amazing

Father Matt might be in utter shock to know I bought a laminated icon from the Dunlap monastery last year. St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco, Wonderworker of America. It's on my desk at school. Yeah, I know, shocker!

I was up at the monastery at Dunlap, wanted a St. John icon for my desk at work, but didn't want to risk getting a hand-painted one for fear of it disappearing from the night crew or a kid, so, yep, it wasn't so much caving as it was not wanting to be out a ton of dough! ^_^

I think someone may have stolen some of the small icons I take with me when traveling, perhaps you might pray that they turn up

pray to St Phanourios (include his mother), as he helps find lost things (especially people).
