"Il Santo Padre ha nominato Vescovo di Gallup (U.S.A.) il Rev.do James S. Wall, del clero di Phoenix, Vicario Episcopale per il clero della medesima diocesi.
Dopo aver frequentato la scuola superiore a Chandler High School, ha conseguito il baccalaureato presso l’Arizona State University. Entrato poi nel seminario, ha ricevuto un Master in teologia presso il St. John’s Seminary a Camarillo in California. Ha poi continuato gli studi presso il Liturgical Institute in Mundelain.
È stato ordinato sacerdote per la diocesi di Phoenix il 6 giugno 1998."
Your Italian does not have to be excellent to see what I saw: The Bishop elect is 44 years old, and was ordained to the priesthood in June of 1998 (A week after my ordination; this makes him the first bishop I know of ordained less time than me!)
The recommendation must've come from the Bishop Elect's Ordinary, Bishop Thomas Olmstead of Phoenix. The Diocese of Gallup has been without a bishop for a while, with Bishop Olmstead serving as Administrator. Bp. Elect Wall is the Vicar for Clergy for the Phoenix Diocese.

This'd make him the first bishop I know younger than I am!
