s --- - •--...,._..._- ! HOME FOR BUDDY 0 n Three-Story House, Said to Be One of Finest in San Diego, n Purchased for Bishop. A three-story residence has been s purchased for Bishop Charles F. r Buddy at San Diego. Cal., accord- ing to word received here by John J. Goodrich. Bishop Buddy is the first bishop of the San Diego diocese and was appointed while tl serving as pastor of St. Joseph's i Cathedral here. The episcopal resi- dence is said to be one of lhe fin- " est homes in San Diego. Although Bishop Buddy had de- sired a less pretentious home, the ) committee of priests and promi- nent Catholics who had interested themselves in securing a permanent s episcopal residence considered r their selection to be Rn ideal dwelling suited to the dignity of the position and one that would 1 serve many years. The property was pw·chased from an insurance company at a price said to be about one-third of its actual value. The house has ocean frontage and is a block in r depth. The third floor is a recrea- tion room. Since moving to California in February, Bishop Budd)' has lived in a home at Sunset Cliffs, which was found to be too far from the center of San Diego. He is ex- pected to move into his new home in a few weeks. ----•-----
