Bannon solicits from Merton his remembrances of St. Bonaventure University and its faculty and staff. Merton's lengthy response, naming many of his dearest priestly and lay professors, is included in the article "Thomas Merton: A Growing Legend at St. Bonaventure," Magnificat 11 (March 1966), pp. 3-4 (Source: The Road to Joy, p. 297.)
Anthony L. Bannon was an editorial staff writer for Magnificat, the newspaper of the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, New York.
