My Mom went back to work in 1968 to be able to pay for me to attend Cistercian Preparatory School in Irving, Texas. Founded and run by the Cistercian Order of monks (founded in 1098) who fled the Soviet control of their homeland (Hungary) and created an amazing school in Irving, TX that I attended from fourth through seventh grade.
