Today is the first death anniversary of Fr Peter Dooley. Remembering him yesterday after supper, at table, the confreres were talking of an incident that happened many years ago when he was in the Parish at Highton, near Bootle. Him and another priest in the Parish were once tied up in the house and robbed. The next day the newspapers too reported this robbery. And both were very upset... not because they were robbed but because the news item began thus: "Two elderly people were robbed..." Both of the priest, who were in their 70s felt bad that they were referred to as 'elderly'!
