August 26, 2008 Fr. Robert McTeigue, S.J, gave a fascinating account of his "Adventures in Burma." He mesmerized the audience as they relived his experience of traveling to Burma, teaching at a seminary, relating to the people and visiting many areas within this closed society. His slides amplified the experience. He returned with a Burmese student who now attends AMU. The meeting was held at The Bean of Ave Maria in a cordial and relaxed atmosphere.
