A Saintly Mother Teresa Cover
An element of this Maine high school collection has taken on new meaning.
In 1972, David Leigh, a history teacher at Forest Hills Consolidated School in Jackman, Maine initiated a very cool project. Students were tasked with getting some of the era’s featured subjects in Time, Newsweek and so on to autograph their magazine covers.
As Rachel Ohm, a reporter for The Morning Sentinel, explains, the recent canonization of Mother Teresa has generated renewed interest in the collection’s Dec. 29, 1975 artifact. From her piece:
The designation [of Mother Teresa] makes items touched by the woman now known to the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, such as the magazine cover, also considered relics by the Roman Catholic Church.
