1
00:00:57,517 --> 00:00:59,951
I am here because...
2
00:01:00,019 --> 00:01:01,850
I recognize...
3
00:01:03,757 --> 00:01:06,726
in my life there has been
a major imbalance,
4
00:01:08,027 --> 00:01:10,086
mainly caused by...
5
00:01:10,163 --> 00:01:13,530
what I have done in a criminal way.
6
00:01:15,902 --> 00:01:17,130
I want to promise myself
7
00:01:17,203 --> 00:01:19,933
that this is going to be
the most honest...
8
00:01:20,006 --> 00:01:22,600
confession of my life,
9
00:01:23,009 --> 00:01:26,672
and in doing that,
10
00:01:26,746 --> 00:01:30,273
I need to make
the long journey backwards
11
00:01:30,350 --> 00:01:32,215
to understand what I did,
12
00:01:32,285 --> 00:01:34,913
to acknowledge that,
13
00:01:34,988 --> 00:01:39,118
in some way to make
reparation for it,
14
00:01:39,192 --> 00:01:43,128
and to let those
whom I have offended
15
00:01:43,196 --> 00:01:46,290
know that, if possible.
16
00:01:46,366 --> 00:01:48,231
Basically what I want
to say to them is, you know,
17
00:01:48,301 --> 00:01:49,825
it should not have happened.
18
00:01:49,903 --> 00:01:52,929
It should not have happened.
19
00:02:15,328 --> 00:02:18,195
When I saw him the first time,
20
00:02:18,264 --> 00:02:21,256
oh, I think it was love at first sight.
21
00:02:21,334 --> 00:02:23,529
- I agree.
- I really do.
22
00:02:23,603 --> 00:02:25,969
It was easy to talk to her.
23
00:02:26,039 --> 00:02:28,974
It must be.
We've been together 41 years now.
24
00:02:31,811 --> 00:02:34,644
But he wasn't really practicing Buddhism.
25
00:02:34,714 --> 00:02:36,944
He used to go with me to church.
26
00:02:37,016 --> 00:02:38,711
Yeah. Before I even met you,
27
00:02:38,785 --> 00:02:41,310
I think I used to go to the chapel,
28
00:02:41,387 --> 00:02:44,049
just for peace and quiet,
you know, so--
29
00:02:44,123 --> 00:02:46,216
But then I still had to go to Ireland
30
00:02:46,292 --> 00:02:49,125
and talk to Maria's dad
and ask for her hand.
31
00:02:49,195 --> 00:02:50,856
- By then you were baptized.
- Yeah.
32
00:02:50,930 --> 00:02:53,694
- I think that was a big concern for my family.
- Yeah.
33
00:02:53,766 --> 00:02:58,396
We got married
December 26, 1964.
34
00:02:58,471 --> 00:03:01,235
I told Maria, I said,
"Would you like to go to the States?"
35
00:03:01,307 --> 00:03:02,433
It was a big step,
36
00:03:02,508 --> 00:03:06,171
but, you know, I was willing
to go anywhere Bob was going.
37
00:03:06,246 --> 00:03:07,178
Yeah.
38
00:03:07,247 --> 00:03:10,876
Ann was born May 9, 1966.
39
00:03:10,950 --> 00:03:13,077
Yeah, a bundle of joy, really.
40
00:03:13,152 --> 00:03:14,414
- She really was.
- Yeah.
41
00:03:14,487 --> 00:03:16,352
'Cause Bob was working
12 hours a day.
42
00:03:16,422 --> 00:03:18,549
We'd get dressed up,
and we'd go outside
43
00:03:18,625 --> 00:03:20,718
and wait for Bob
when he was coming home.
44
00:03:20,793 --> 00:03:22,192
Oh, she'd say, "Hi, Daddy,"
45
00:03:22,262 --> 00:03:24,457
and give me a hug
and kiss, you know.
46
00:03:24,530 --> 00:03:26,020
She was a perfect
little lady, you know.
47
00:03:26,099 --> 00:03:27,691
You could take her anyplace.
48
00:03:27,767 --> 00:03:31,203
In her own little way,
she was taking care of me.
49
00:03:31,271 --> 00:03:33,205
So then I went to work
one day a week,
50
00:03:33,273 --> 00:03:36,174
and then we decided
we'd buy a house-- this one.
51
00:03:36,242 --> 00:03:38,107
This one here.
52
00:03:38,177 --> 00:03:39,804
The one and only house we got.
53
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:42,712
I was raised a really
strict Catholic in Ireland.
54
00:03:42,782 --> 00:03:44,147
I mean, that was our life.
55
00:03:44,217 --> 00:03:45,149
Yeah, and--
56
00:03:45,218 --> 00:03:47,186
There is no other religion.
57
00:03:47,253 --> 00:03:51,383
I thought she was a shining example
of a good Catholic
58
00:03:51,457 --> 00:03:52,924
who had faith in her religion
59
00:03:52,992 --> 00:03:57,395
whether I accepted all the beliefs
of the Catholic Church or not.
60
00:03:57,463 --> 00:03:58,930
But I believed something--
61
00:03:58,998 --> 00:04:01,558
And, you know, you raise
your kids that way, you know.
62
00:04:01,634 --> 00:04:02,999
That was part of our life.
63
00:04:03,069 --> 00:04:05,003
- It was our life, actually.
- It was.
64
00:04:05,071 --> 00:04:07,767
I found peace there,
65
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,274
and, you know, comfort, I guess.
66
00:04:29,762 --> 00:04:31,753
Some people are born
to be leaders,
67
00:04:31,831 --> 00:04:34,265
some people are born to follow,
et cetera, you know.
68
00:04:34,334 --> 00:04:36,768
I like helping people,
69
00:04:37,704 --> 00:04:39,604
and, as one of my priest
friends said to me once,
70
00:04:39,672 --> 00:04:41,264
he said, "You're a people person."
71
00:04:41,341 --> 00:04:43,741
And I think that helped a lot to say,
72
00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:47,143
"Hey, I finally reached what--
or I'd like to do.
73
00:04:47,213 --> 00:04:49,306
"I think this is what I want to do.
74
00:04:49,382 --> 00:04:51,907
I think this is
what I'm called to do."
75
00:04:51,985 --> 00:04:53,680
I like to be with people.
76
00:04:53,753 --> 00:04:57,587
I felt I was good with people.
77
00:04:57,657 --> 00:04:59,249
I felt I was good with children.
78
00:04:59,325 --> 00:05:00,587
I've often asked myself,
79
00:05:00,660 --> 00:05:03,322
Why did I...
80
00:05:03,396 --> 00:05:04,761
Why do I like children so much?
81
00:05:04,831 --> 00:05:08,528
What do I want to do for them?
82
00:05:08,601 --> 00:05:12,128
I feel compassionate to children
that I see sort of cornered and--
83
00:05:12,205 --> 00:05:16,335
who image what I was
when I was their age
84
00:05:16,442 --> 00:05:18,967
and did not have
85
00:05:20,246 --> 00:05:22,077
somebody to turn to.
86
00:05:22,148 --> 00:05:24,708
I tend to want to reach out
to people like that.
87
00:05:24,784 --> 00:05:27,412
First time we met him was in 1971.
88
00:05:27,487 --> 00:05:30,183
I was so excited to meet
somebody from home.
89
00:05:30,256 --> 00:05:31,518
And I'd only been here,
90
00:05:31,591 --> 00:05:33,218
like, five years at that time.
91
00:05:33,292 --> 00:05:38,127
He would come and spend
his days off here.
92
00:05:38,197 --> 00:05:40,665
He had a really strong Irish accent
at that time,
93
00:05:40,733 --> 00:05:42,428
so we used to help him
with his sermons,
94
00:05:42,502 --> 00:05:45,630
and Ann would go places with him.
95
00:05:45,705 --> 00:05:47,832
Ann Jyono.
96
00:05:47,907 --> 00:05:50,876
Little Ann-- Ann was one
of the first people I met there,
97
00:05:50,943 --> 00:05:52,467
or at least her parents.
98
00:05:52,545 --> 00:05:56,709
Her mother was Irish,
father was Japanese--
99
00:05:56,783 --> 00:05:59,149
of Japanese extraction, I think--
100
00:05:59,218 --> 00:06:01,982
and was very welcome
at their home
101
00:06:02,055 --> 00:06:06,048
for many, many years
of my time in Lodi.
102
00:06:06,125 --> 00:06:11,085
I could, and was often
invited, to sleep over there.
103
00:06:11,164 --> 00:06:14,031
Perhaps that's where
some of the problems began
104
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:16,625
in that-- in Ann's situation.
105
00:06:22,341 --> 00:06:25,037
There are two types
of people in the Church:
106
00:06:25,111 --> 00:06:29,377
the hierarchy in the sacred
pastures, as they call them,
107
00:06:29,449 --> 00:06:31,781
who are picked out by God to lead,
108
00:06:31,851 --> 00:06:33,944
and the vast throng
who are the lay people,
109
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:37,512
and their duty is to be docile,
obedient followers.
110
00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:39,524
It says that.
111
00:06:39,592 --> 00:06:41,116
The system, it's a monarchy.
112
00:06:41,194 --> 00:06:43,822
All power rests in individuals,
113
00:06:43,896 --> 00:06:46,763
and so the system
protects those individuals
114
00:06:46,833 --> 00:06:48,698
because it believes
that that is the will
115
00:06:48,768 --> 00:06:50,793
of the higher power,
of the Almighty:
116
00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:53,532
that He wants those individuals
117
00:06:53,606 --> 00:06:56,700
to be powerful in order to control
118
00:06:56,776 --> 00:06:59,643
this portion of reality called Earth.
119
00:06:59,712 --> 00:07:01,805
And that's, I think, is--
120
00:07:01,881 --> 00:07:05,146
It may sound simplistic
and like science fiction,
121
00:07:05,218 --> 00:07:06,651
but that, in fact, is what it is.
122
00:07:10,690 --> 00:07:12,351
I was...
123
00:07:13,926 --> 00:07:15,325
a student for eight years at Holy Spirit,
124
00:07:15,394 --> 00:07:17,828
which is in the Sacramento Diocese,
125
00:07:17,897 --> 00:07:20,798
and they had some kind
of advertisement to Camp Pendola,
126
00:07:20,867 --> 00:07:23,631
and it was my first time ever
going away to camp.
127
00:07:23,703 --> 00:07:26,297
None of my friends
went to school there.
128
00:07:26,372 --> 00:07:28,670
I didn't know
anybody else there,
129
00:07:28,741 --> 00:07:31,403
and I actually wrote
a letter to my mom
130
00:07:31,477 --> 00:07:32,910
that she had--
131
00:07:32,979 --> 00:07:34,378
On the back of the envelope,
132
00:07:34,447 --> 00:07:37,883
I said I met a new friend,
and his name was Father O'Grady.
133
00:07:37,950 --> 00:07:41,909
I remember him coming
on a sleep-over with the other girls,
134
00:07:41,988 --> 00:07:43,819
and a couple of days later,
135
00:07:43,890 --> 00:07:46,586
the other girls breaking out
with poison oak,
136
00:07:46,659 --> 00:07:48,559
and them telling me
that I didn't have poison oak
137
00:07:48,628 --> 00:07:50,391
'cause I slept with Father.
138
00:07:53,699 --> 00:07:55,963
And I think the thing
that I'm going to regret most
139
00:07:56,035 --> 00:07:58,731
is that I allowed myself to--
140
00:07:58,804 --> 00:08:02,137
just to cuddling alongside her
in bed one night
141
00:08:02,208 --> 00:08:03,766
when she was visiting with me.
142
00:08:03,843 --> 00:08:05,435
I would...
143
00:08:05,
