0:00.0	I'm going to Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, There have been people who have sent me information who used to work for the
0:36.7	Archdiocese who told me that when they were working there they were aware
0:41.8	that when Joseph Maskell was assigned there between 1975 and
0:47.6	1980, which was right after he left Keo, that he was assigned to the division of schools at the Catholic
