A year to celebrate<br />
Bishop James J. Hartley created a profound and lasting legacy 84 years ago when<br />
he established <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> <strong>Preparatory</strong> <strong>School</strong> upon two basic tenets. He wanted the<br />
new school to provide students “a complete, thorough, and sound classical training”<br />
that would enable them to take up the specialties and profession of their choice; and<br />
he pledged that no qualified young man would be turned away from receiving a <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> education because of his inability to meet tuition.<br />
And since the school’s inception, we have used the inspiring legacy of our patron<br />
saint, <strong>Charles</strong> Borromeo, to impress upon every student that we all are “our brother’s<br />
keeper,” and are expected to serve others, one another, and the community at<br />
large.<br />
With these concepts as our school’s foundation, the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> faculty and staff<br />
have nurtured the minds and hearts of its students for more than eight decades.<br />
Many alumni, in pursuit of these concepts, have distinguished themselves in many<br />
ways, pursuing careers as priests, entrepreneurs, business leaders, artists, scientists,<br />
doctors, lawyers, teachers, and judges to name a few endeavors, and as community<br />
leaders.<br />
In this edition of the Cardinal magazine, you can read stories about alumni whose<br />
lives and careers have made an impact locally, nationally, and globally -- in essence,<br />
creating and handing legacies of their own to children, friends, and institutions, all<br />
for the greater good.<br />
One such example is Walt Plank, a 1941 <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> alumnus who died in 1993<br />
but whose legacy of service to his fellow man and devotion to alma mater lives on.<br />

and lacrosse teams posed atop a newly-graded surface of the <strong>Cardinals</strong>’ new athletic<br />
field prepared by the Nick Savko & Sons construction company. <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> principal<br />
Dominic J. Cavello ’64 proudly announced that the new synthetic playing surface has<br />
been named Walt Plank <strong>Field</strong> in honor of 1941 graduate, sports fan, and humanitarian,<br />
Walter H. Plank.<br />
Thanks to the generosity of many in the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> community, this complex will<br />
host dreams and efforts of future generations of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> students seeking to excel<br />
in everything they do. The new football field and baseball diamond, resurfaced with<br />
synthetic turf, the Cardinal athletic complex is truly state of the art. Photo by Will<br />

Corrections<br />
In the fall edition of the Cardinal magazine…<br />
The late Anson Chan’s ’99 last name was misspelled in the headline of a story about<br />
the new scholarship in his name on page 25. The first name of Tom Brandt (Aquinas<br />
’59) was incorrect in a photo caption on page 50. The Class of 1971, properly identified<br />
in the headline about its class reunion last year, was mistakenly referred to as the<br />
Class of 1966 in the story on page 23. Please accept our sincere apology for the errors.<br />

Family legacy<br />
Walt Plank ’41 (far left) running the show at Plank’s<br />
Café in 1992 with sons Tom (center) and John ’82 close<br />
at hand. The brothers, along with their sister, Mary<br />
Plank Underwood, are now the third generation to steward<br />
the popular gathering spot on Parsons Avenue.<br />
The Distinctive Distinctive Leader Leader in Catholic Catholic Education Education<br />
It was at Plank’s<br />
Café at Sycamore<br />
and Parsons where<br />
many converged<br />
while Walt held<br />
court from the<br />
steam table behind<br />
the bar. There, in<br />
the middle of the<br />
action, he loved<br />
to engage all who<br />
came to socialize<br />
and share in spirited<br />
conversation.<br />
His beloved Buckeyes<br />
were always a<br />
favorite topic.<br />
Walt was proud<br />
to tell the story of his attending <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> with the help of a<br />
benefactor he never met. The kindness of that person made a<br />
lasting impression on Walt and instilled in him a desire to give<br />
back to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> youngsters from the south end who would<br />
need financial assistance to attend SC. His dream of helping<br />
boys of the south end was boosted when the Kelley and Plank<br />
Families raised a significant memorial endowment for tuition<br />
that will live on for generations to come.<br />
With that short background on Walt, it’s with pride and satisfaction<br />
that I can announce the new athletic field at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
is named Walt Plank <strong>Field</strong>. (see related story, page 37). Walt’s<br />
love for <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> was displayed in his joyful participation<br />
as a basketball and baseball player for the Cadinals. With his<br />
Café as a landmark, Walt sponsored all types of athletic teams<br />
– especially baseball and softball – so his love of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> and<br />
athletics of all kinds makes this a fitting honor.<br />
I commend the remarkable job by our <strong>Turf</strong> <strong>Field</strong> Committee of<br />
fund raisers, led by Annual Fund chairman Tom O’Leary ’64 and<br />
our six parent couples, who worked tirelessly to secure funding<br />
for the field. Our construction plan and site preparation was<br />
once again led by our longtime friend Hank Sherowski, whose<br />
son <strong>St</strong>eve graduated in 1991. Brothers <strong>St</strong>eve and Marty Savko,<br />
partners in Nick Savko & Sons Inc., expertly did all of the field<br />
preparation work. Marty’s son, Marty Savko Jr., graduated in<br />
the Class of 2007 and answered a thousand questions from students<br />
during the field preparation. In addition to our very generous<br />
parent donors, I thank <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> stalwart Don Kelley ’47,<br />
who conceived of the special naming of our new field and helped<br />
lead us in a successful funding effort.<br />
The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> senior class was granted a place of honor on the stage during<br />
this years’ all-school Academic Awards Assembly held May 17. The annual event<br />
recognizes individuals and groups for various outstanding academic and athletic<br />
achievements earned over the course of the year.<br />
Legacies can also<br />
come in the form<br />
of children, who<br />
carry on the lifelessons<br />
and values<br />
that their parents<br />
worked so hard to<br />
instill in them by<br />
word and personal<br />
examples. Today,<br />
Plank’s Café is run<br />
by Walt’s sons, Tom<br />
and John Plank Robert D. Walter ’63 and his wife, Peggy.<br />
’82 and daughter,<br />
Mary Plank Underwood, who carry on fine traditions established<br />
by their father. The restaurant on Parsons Avenue serves as a<br />
hub for Catholic school reunions, a family gathering place after<br />
special events – both happy and sad – and a place where <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> alumni celebrate after games. When you go, you’re apt<br />
to run into several Carolians who are loyal regulars.<br />
This month we celebrate the one-year anniversary of the opening<br />
of the Robert C. Walter <strong>St</strong>udent Commons. In these pages<br />
we review the many student benefits of this beautiful facility<br />
and how it has brought our community more closely together.<br />
With its beauty and impressive dimensions, the structure is a<br />
great success and makes a lasting impression on our students,<br />
teachers, and alumni. Several Central Ohio organizations also<br />
have benefited from this impressive building, and its popularity<br />
is growing with brides as a reception site.<br />
Our community owes a great debt of gratitude to Bob ’63 and<br />
Peggy Walter for leading the way for <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> to build this<br />
structure, which honors the memory of Bob’s father. This newest<br />
campus addition, made possible largely by their major contribution,<br />
plus their previous generosity to the school’s scholarship<br />
endowments play a key role in helping the school meet its promise<br />
to help qualified young men who need financial assistance to<br />
earn a <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> diploma.<br />
Earlier in this school year, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> freshman Chase<br />
Meacham became a role model for every member of the <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> family when he was diagnosed with cancer in his leg<br />
and underwent treatment. I am pleased to report Chase has<br />
made his way through his freshman year while undergoing<br />
treatments. What an inspiration he was these past months with<br />
his persistent great attitude and commitment to his school work.<br />
I’m thrilled to report he has been given a “clean” bill of health!<br />
(see related story on page 11). Earlier this spring, Chase gave<br />
testimony in Washington to support a pediatric cancer research<br />
funding bill sponsored by U.S. Rep. Deborah Price. Chase, the<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> family salutes you for your courage and fortitude<br />
and we are extremely proud of you as a loyal Carolian.<br />
The legacy of our school’s challenging curriculum prepares<br />
young men for success at the next level and helps mold them<br />
into leaders in their professional and parish lives. Evidence of<br />
those success stories can be found on our <strong>St</strong>udent <strong>New</strong>s (pages<br />
10-15) and Alumni Notes section (pages 37-43).<br />
As another school year comes to a close, I thank all members<br />
of our community who have helped the Class of 2007 reach a<br />
goal that sets them apart from their peers: a <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> diploma.<br />
Your remarkable generosity to help those less fortunate and<br />
your support of our recent campus improvements is a constant<br />
inspiration to me and my colleagues.<br />
May God continue to bless you all.<br />

Bishop blesses new school facilities<br />
at Feast Day Mass; 3 alumni honored<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>’ annual Feast Day Mass was held for the first time in the new Robert C.<br />
Walter <strong>St</strong>udent Commons.<br />
T<br />
he Robert C. Walter <strong>St</strong>udent Commons offered a fitting<br />
backdrop last November for the annual Feast Day<br />
celebration in honor of the school’s patron, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
Borromeo and for the special honors the school bestowed on<br />
graduates Father W. Jared Wicks, S.J. ’47, James P. Finn ’65,<br />
and David L. Pemberton Jr. ’79.<br />
A festive Mass was celebrated by Bishop Frederick F.<br />
Campbell, D.D., Ph.D., and concelebrated by many alumni and<br />
guest priests. During the liturgy Bishop Campbell blessed and<br />
officially dedicated the spacious new Walter <strong>St</strong>udent Commons<br />
and the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> <strong>St</strong>udent Services & Fine Arts Center.<br />
Both of these wondrous, new facilities, available for use by<br />
all <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> students every day of the school year, have<br />
amplified the capability of the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> campus in providing<br />
comfortable and nurturing areas for the student body. Funding<br />
for the $5.5-million additions to the original <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> building<br />
constructed in 1923-25 was accelerated through naming<br />
opportunities and private charitable giving.<br />

Borromean Medal for Achievement<br />
Fr. W. Jared Wicks, S.J.’47, recipient of the Borromean<br />
Medal for Distinguished Achievement.<br />
An internationally<br />
recognized<br />
theological scholar<br />
and author, Father<br />
Wicks, a 1947 <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> graduate,<br />
has devoted much<br />
of his career to<br />
championing a<br />
closer relationship,<br />
if not eventual<br />
unity, of the<br />
Roman Catholic<br />
Church with other<br />
Christian faiths.<br />
He is recognized<br />
as an expert on<br />
Martin Luther and<br />
the ecumenical aspects of the Second Vatican Council. He served<br />
25 years at the prestigious <strong>School</strong> of Theology at the Pontifical<br />
Gregorian University in Rome. There he served as lecturer,<br />
faculty dean, and director of the Department of Fundamental<br />
Theology. Having completed his assignment there, he returned<br />
to the U.S. three years ago.<br />
Today, he is a theological scholar in residence at John Carroll<br />
University where he conducts research, writes, and teaches<br />
theology courses. He serves as celebrant for one Sunday and two<br />
weekday Masses in nearby parishes, and keeps busy authoring<br />
book reviews and articles and lecturing at John Carroll.<br />
Father Wicks maintains ties with organizations and causes to<br />
which he has devoted his career. His work takes him all over the<br />
world, as he travels to Rome and other international locations<br />
gathering material for publications and as an active member<br />
of groups like the Lutheran-Catholic International Dialogue<br />
Commission.<br />
He maintains his special ties with the Gregorian University<br />
as an active member of its review board on implementation of<br />
long-range planning. In his seemingly tireless work on behalf<br />
of Christian unity, Wicks participates in Lutheran-Catholic<br />
dialogues. Wicks serves on the advisory board of the Institute<br />
of Catholic <strong>St</strong>udies at John Carroll and the Cleveland Diocese’s<br />
Borromeo College Seminary board of directors.<br />
Father Wicks attended The Ohio <strong>St</strong>ate University before<br />
returning to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> College-Seminary. In 1949 he entered<br />
the Milford Novitiate and later earned a BA degree at Xavier<br />
(OH) University. He earned a master’s in philosophy at West<br />
Baden in Indiana and taught at <strong>St</strong>. Ignatius High <strong>School</strong> in<br />
Cleveland. After additional theology courses, he was ordained in<br />
1962, and completed his theology studies the next year.<br />
James P. Finn: Borromean Medal<br />
for Distinguished Service to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
James P. Finn ’65, recipient of the Borromean Medal for<br />
Distinguished Service to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>.<br />
A 1965 <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
alumnus, James<br />
Finn is a principal<br />
with Gardner, Inc.<br />
in Columbus. He<br />
was honored for his<br />
critical advice and<br />
leadership while<br />
working closely<br />
with <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
principal Dominic<br />
J. Cavello in the<br />
planning, design,<br />
and construction<br />
of the $5.5-million<br />
Robert C. Walter<br />
<strong>St</strong>udent Commons<br />
and <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
<strong>St</strong>udent Services<br />
& Fine Arts Center, the largest capital addition since the school<br />
was built 82 years ago. He worked on that project while serving<br />
as chairman of the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Advisory Board.<br />
Finn earned an undergraduate degree from Kenyon College in<br />
1970 and an MBA from Harvard Business <strong>School</strong> in 1974. After<br />
leaving Harvard, he joined Ogilvy & Mather, an international<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> <strong>Preparatory</strong> <strong>School</strong>
advertising, marketing and public relations agency, and was<br />
ultimately given responsibility for the company’s Sears account.<br />
He later joined the family business with brothers and fellow<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> graduates Michael L. Finn ’61 and John F. Finn<br />
’65, as a principal in the operation of Gardner, Inc., a group of<br />
wholesale distribution companies.<br />
Jim is an active member of several community and corporate<br />
boards. He served as chairman of the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Advisory<br />
Board from 2003-2006. In that period <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> enjoyed<br />
unprecedented growth and improvement to its physical plant<br />
and secured its future through a campaign to benefit students<br />
and faculty and to fund advanced technology.<br />
Jim from 2001 to 2005 served as the lead-gift chairman for<br />
The Campaign for <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Phase I, which raised a record $10<br />
million for his alma mater. The campaign had a dramatic impact<br />
on the school’s endowment funds for need-based student aid and<br />
faculty recruitment and retention. Jim continues to serve on the<br />
school’s Advisory Board and the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Endowment Board<br />
of Trustees.<br />
In his capacity as board chairman, Jim devoted hundreds of<br />
hours to extensive meetings with architects, planners, builders<br />
and the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> administrative leadership for the design<br />
and construction of the Robert C. Walter <strong>St</strong>udent Commons and<br />
<strong>St</strong>udent Services & Fine Arts Center. His expertise in financing,<br />
construction and space planning was an invaluable asset for <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong>.<br />
Jim and his wife, Susan Finn, Ph.D., are members of <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Andrew Parish, and are the parents of a son, John. Together<br />
with his alumni brothers, Jim helped establish The Finn<br />
Family Chair at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>, an endowment that supports the<br />
recruitment and retention of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> faculty.<br />

Award for Leadership & Service<br />

The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education<br />
David L.<br />
Pemberton Jr.,<br />
Class of 1979, is<br />
president and chief<br />
operating officer of<br />
Suburban Natural<br />
Gas Co., of Lewis<br />
Center. He joined<br />
that company in<br />
1992 and served<br />
as its director of<br />
sales and vicepresident<br />
before<br />
being elevated to<br />
his present position<br />
in 2000.<br />
Appointed to<br />
the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
Advisory Board<br />
in 2003, David is an active member of the board’s development<br />
committee. In 2004, he was appointed chairman of the Alumni<br />
Annual Fund appeal which raised a record-high $400,000 for<br />
need-based student aid. David’s success was attributed to his<br />
daily outreaching to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> alumni. During the appeal he<br />
personally contacted over 350 alumni. Because his efforts were<br />
a huge success, he was asked by principal Dominic J. Cavello to<br />
chair the campaign for a second year in 2004.<br />
Under David’s two-year service as chairman, the Alumni<br />
Annual Fund raised a record $809,500 for student financial<br />
aid. His success was helped considerably by his friendly and<br />

Recognize and cherish connections<br />
with others, Wicks advises<br />
Upon receiving The Borromean Medal for Distinguished<br />
Achievement at the 2006 Feast Day Mass, Father Jared<br />
Wicks S.J. ’47, observed “such a moment turns on a bright<br />
light in my efforts to understand my own life to this point.<br />
What the light shows is a huge network of dear people,<br />
where I am but one node or knot among many. Or it’s a<br />
vast web, where I am one strand connected with many,<br />
many generous persons.”<br />
He went on to say: “The moment brings to mind hundreds<br />
of companions on my life’s journey, the precious companions<br />
along the way, who have helped me, who have said<br />
wonderfully supportive words. With reverence I pass over<br />
the first and obvious sources of personal support, but I have<br />
to mention three individuals.<br />
“Here at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>, in the old college, I was guided<br />
through my first course on modern European history<br />
by Father Paul O’Dea. Under his gentle, but effective,<br />
guidance, I took up reading biographies of major figures of<br />
the Reformation century, beginning with Martin Luther<br />
(with whom I am still “conversing” about Christian doctrine<br />
and theology) and Fr. O’Dea had me move on to Ignatius<br />
Loyola, founder of our Society of Jesus. Here I cannot begin<br />
to say how grateful I am for that meeting with Ignatius, for<br />
me a life-changing moment. Of Ignatius, I’ve become an<br />
unworthy disciple and son.<br />
“Another crucial strand in the web connected with me in<br />
my mid-30’s at the University of Muenster, in Germany,<br />
with a not yet famous professor, whom one day I visited at<br />
the Graduate <strong>School</strong> of Theology, to ask him to take me on<br />
as a doctoral candidate. This was Father Joseph Ratzinger,<br />
who last year changed his name to Benedict XVI. He<br />
pondered my ecumenical aspirations, and with a kind word<br />
told me of a new colleague about to join the teaching faculty,<br />
Erwin Iserloh, with whom I had a three-year intensive<br />
initiation into Reformation scholarship. How fortunate I<br />
was in Muenster.<br />
“A third person much in my thoughts today would be<br />
here, but he was called home to our Lord in May 2000, my<br />
1947 <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> classmate and Jesuit brother, Father Art<br />
McGovern. With him, dear Mac, I was lucky enough to be<br />
connected in an off-and-on conversation of over 50 years<br />
about life in our Lord’s service, about serving others by<br />
teaching, researching, and writing, and about how fortunate<br />
we both were to be well prepared by our <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
formation and then spurred on by our esteemed fellow<br />
Jesuits.<br />
“To end, I urge all of you to join me in setting aside any<br />
illusion of independence and self-sufficiency in life. See<br />
the network, sense the web. Acknowledge and cherish<br />
those connections, those links. We have many near to us<br />
now, and will have in the future – helpers and companions.<br />
From them we receive much, from them we are aided to<br />
give much to our world.”

Papal Nuncio to United Nations<br />
delivered Borromean Lecture at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
S<br />
t. <strong>Charles</strong> <strong>Preparatory</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s<br />
annual Borromean Lecture this<br />
year featured the commentary of<br />
His Excellency, Archbishop Celestino<br />
Migliore, Apostolic Nuncio and<br />
Permanent Observer of the Holy See to<br />
the United Nations in <strong>New</strong> York City.<br />
He addressed church officials, business<br />
and civic leaders, and the school’s entire<br />
student body of 576 young men at a<br />
noon luncheon on March 2. For each<br />
of the students he brought a special<br />
Papal Rosary personally blessed by Pope<br />
Benedict XIV. The event’s setting was the<br />
beautiful new Robert C. Walter <strong>St</strong>udent<br />
Commons.<br />
Archbishop Migliore<br />
Archbishop Migliore was appointed to<br />
his current post in 2002 by his holiness<br />
Pope John Paul II. Migliore entered the<br />
Holy See’s diplomatic service in 1980<br />
after graduating from the Pontifical<br />
Academy for Ecclesiastical Diplomacy.<br />
He has since served as attaché and second<br />
secretary to the apostolic delegation<br />
in Angola (1980-84) before serving in<br />
Apostolic Nunciatures in the U.S. (’84-<br />
’88); Egypt (’88-’89), and Poland (’89- 92).<br />
While under-secretary of the section for<br />
relations with states of the Secretariat<br />
of <strong>St</strong>ate, Migliore was in charge of<br />
fostering relations with countries having<br />
no formal relations with the Vatican.<br />
He led delegations to China, Vietnam,<br />
North Korea, and at numerous United<br />
Nations conferences. He also represented<br />
the Holy See at many events held in<br />
European capitals on issues related to the<br />
World Trade Organization, the Economic<br />
Commission for Europe, the European<br />
Union, and the Middle East.<br />

Borromean Lectures<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> <strong>Preparatory</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
established the Borromean Lectures<br />
seven years ago in honor of the school’s<br />
patron saint, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Borromeo. The<br />
lecture series provides a forum at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> to attract annually to campus a<br />
speaker of national renown to address<br />
topics of morals and ethics in society,<br />
business, and government.<br />
Past speakers have included Cardinal<br />
Theodore E. McCarrick, Archbishop<br />
of Washington, D.C., former U.S.<br />
ambassador Michael Novak, Cardinal<br />
Avery Dulles, the Laurence J. McGinley<br />
Chair at Fordham University, Joel I.<br />

The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education<br />
Integrity to truthiness<br />
Papal Nuncio explores word<br />
trends in Borromean Lecture<br />
The Archbishop’s enticing lecture topic<br />
was entitled: The Most Searched Words:<br />
From Integrity to Truthiness. What’s<br />
Next? In his presentation, the Archbishop<br />
related that his lecture topic evolved from<br />
one of the special annual reports produced<br />
by the Dilenschneider Group, a prominent<br />
public relations firm headquartered<br />
in <strong>New</strong> York City. (It was through the<br />
initiative and support of that company’s<br />
founder and owner, Robert L. Dilenschneider,<br />
that the Borromean Lectures<br />
came about in the fall of 2000, and continue<br />
each year. Dilenschneider is a 1961<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> graduate.)<br />
One of the reports that Migliore reviewed<br />
was entilted “Noteworthy Trends<br />
for 2007,” which identified two of the<br />
most-searched words on the website of the<br />
authoritative Merriam-Webster dictionary.<br />
The words were integrity in 2005 and<br />
truthiness in 2006.<br />
In his presentation, the Archbishop<br />
described how the trilogy of the principles<br />
of integrity, truth, added with that of<br />
fraternity, must each be given its proper<br />
importance if they are to “give rise to<br />
social and international relations that can<br />
meet the challenges of today’s world.”<br />
To describe this special relationship,<br />
Migliore pointed to a prominent symbol of<br />
the “Borromean Rings,”which appears on<br />
the Borromeo family crest in the Walter<br />
<strong>St</strong>udent Commons. This trio of rings is<br />
intertwined in such a way that removing<br />
any of the rings would cause the entire<br />
structure to fall apart. Scientists today<br />
use the term “borromean” to describe<br />
atomic nuclei that behave in a similar<br />
way: if any one is removed, the rest of the<br />
nucleus disintegrates.<br />
The archbishop said that the term<br />
truthiness is a satirical term coined and<br />
popularized on the cable TV comedy<br />
“news” show, The Colbert Report. It refers<br />
to a condition or quality of preferring concepts<br />
or facts one wishes to be true, rather<br />
than concepts or facts that are known to<br />
be true.<br />
“It is used by those who claim to know<br />
something intuitively, instinctively, with<br />
no regard to evidence or logic, to intellectual<br />
examination, or actual facts,” Migliore<br />
said. He quoted Merriam-Webster<br />
president John Morse as saying, “We’re<br />
at a point where what constitutes truth is<br />
a question on a lot of people’s minds, and<br />
truth has come up for grabs.”<br />
Migliore said, “It points out that our<br />
society has a problem with the concept<br />
of truth. And yet, truth and integrity,<br />
once they are lived out by individuals and<br />
societies, become virtues and can well be<br />
considered two indispensable rings that<br />
build, sustain and season with happiness<br />
our contemporary society.”<br />
The etymology of Integrity, the second<br />
of the three concepts, the archbishop<br />
noted, comes from the Latin adjective<br />
integer (whole, complete) and comprises<br />
the personal inner sense of “wholeness”<br />
that derives from honesty and consistent<br />
uprightness of character. “It is often<br />
understood not only as a consistent and<br />
coherent behavior, but as a mindset and<br />
lifestyle aimed at the discovery of some<br />
truth,” the archbishop said.<br />
As for Fraternity, Migliore noted, it<br />
serves as the third ring to form an inseparable<br />
trilogy. “Fraternity is somehow<br />
the missing link, the missing ring that<br />
hinders us from discerning the truth and<br />
achieving wholeness,” he explained. “It<br />
may become 2007’s most searched word,”<br />
the archbishop speculated.<br />
“This wish I have for you today,” he<br />
said, “that you may experience and establish<br />
day after day more fraternity among<br />
you. This will be the ring in the blazon of<br />
this school, that paves the way for clarity<br />
of mind to discern and understand the<br />
truth. It will pave the way to reach the<br />
sense of personal and social wholeness.”<br />
Archbishop Migliore noted how his life<br />
in the priesthood came about through his<br />
admiration for a local priest’s wholistic<br />
character, wisdom, and availability to<br />
serve the poorest of the poor. “I said to<br />
myself that I wanted to be like him. I did<br />
not yet know at the time what it meant<br />
to be a priest, but I wanted to be like that<br />
pastor who put himself at the service of<br />
all.”<br />
Shortly after his ordination, Father<br />
Migliore was called to his bishop’s office<br />
and was informed that he was being sent<br />
to Rome to begin specialized studies for<br />
diplomatic representation of the Holy See<br />
around the world. “I thought it was a bad<br />
dream,” Migliore said. “I knew nothing<br />
of this kind of work… I was afraid that<br />
it was bureaucratic work, office work, in<br />
which I would lose touch with the People<br />
of God. My immediate response was that I<br />
was unable to accept.”<br />
But his Bishop convinced him by drawing<br />
a comparison to Saint Peter. He<br />
remarked, “From a man who barely knew<br />
his own geography of Galilee and the skill<br />
of fishing, Jesus made him a man capable<br />
of confronting life in the capital of the<br />
world. With that, I accepted my bishop’s<br />
invitation having faith in his words and I<br />
never regretted having said ‘yes.’”

Veteran custodian uses<br />
artistic ability<br />
Jeff Broadnax, a custodian at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
for more than 20 years, flashes a big<br />
friendly smile to all he meets as he quietly<br />
goes about his daily duties.<br />
An ordained minister and musician,<br />
he’s well known for special <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
T-shirts he designs and sells around<br />
campus. He also sells hats, carry bags,<br />
and Polo shirts. It’s a way, he said, “to<br />
glorify God using my artistic abilities,<br />
and also as a way to generate a second<br />
income.”<br />
He recently expanded his product line<br />
to include what could possibly become an<br />
entrepreneurial bonanza: a mouse pad for<br />
computer desktops, certainly an item that<br />
everyone needs for home and office.<br />
Broadnax sold all 20 of his “prototypes”<br />
which sported a color aerial photo of the<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> campus. He will be producing<br />
a new version after the new turf field is<br />
finished. He hopes to sell them not only to<br />
students, but also to other members of the<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> community here in Columbus<br />
and around the country.<br />
After Broadnax and his wife, Pat,<br />
helped co-found Restoration Ministries in<br />
1993, the thought came to him after much<br />
prayer to spread the Gospel on T-shirts.<br />
Through a friend he was able to find a<br />
screen printer, and two years later he<br />
found a partner to join him in a T-shirt<br />
business.<br />
After coming up with a design idea,<br />
Broadnax “draws” a likeness on a<br />
computer and then prints a sample. He<br />
shows the sample around to students<br />
and faculty to gauge their interest. If the<br />
design is a hit, he prints up a dozen or so.<br />
He also designs shirts to the specifications<br />
of customers. There is no product catalog<br />
yet, so in the meantime Broadnax<br />
continues to print a few items at a time<br />

Enlisting federal help against cancer<br />
Congresswoman Deborah Pryce with freshman Chase<br />
Meacham in the nation’s capital.<br />
Freshman wins over cancer; urges<br />
help for others in visit to U.S. Capitol<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> freshman Chase Meacham<br />
has been an inspirational model to students,<br />
faculty, and staff of our school<br />
this year with his show of courage and<br />
resilience in fighting osteosarcoma, a type<br />
of bone cancer. Now pronounced “cancer<br />
free,” Chase has taken up a new fight:<br />
inspire others to overcome all forms of<br />
pediatric cancer.<br />
In his battle with the disease, Chase<br />
endured an array of difficult, painful, and<br />
invasive medical procedures at Children’s<br />
Hospital in Columbus. To the credit<br />
of his parents, 1984 alumnus Jeff and<br />
wife, Kim, since the terrible diagnosis in<br />
Chase’s 8th grade school year, they made<br />
the commitment to give him a “normal”<br />
life while battling the disease. (Incidentally,<br />
Chase’s uncle, Chris, is a 1982<br />
graduate.)<br />
In mid-March Chase made public in<br />
Washington D.C. his personal battle when<br />
he appeared in the U.S. Capitol building’s<br />
house terrace to relate his struggle with<br />
the disease.<br />
Chase responded to an invitation from<br />
Columbus Congresswoman Deborah Pryce<br />
as she and other government leaders<br />
introduced the Conquer Childhood Cancer<br />
Act of 2007. The legislation seeks to eradicate<br />
childhood cancers by directing $100<br />
million dollars during a five-year period<br />
to help expand childhood cancer research<br />
and several other initiatives. Cancer is<br />
the number one cause of death by disease<br />
for American children.<br />
In his presentation, Chase spoke of<br />
leaving the hospital after his last treatment:<br />
“Finally, the last day came. My<br />
mother and I stood up, turned, and we<br />
cried in each other’s arms. I had done it.<br />
After nine long, grueling months, I had<br />
finally beaten cancer.<br />
“As I walked out of the hospital, I could<br />
not help but think of all the other children<br />
there that night; all the children that<br />
would not be leaving with me. I had won<br />
my battle, but cancer had by no means<br />
lost. Cancer was stronger than ever; the<br />
children behind me knowing it more than<br />
anyone. Some of the strongest “soldiers”<br />
this country has ever seen aren’t even old<br />
enough to drive yet. It should not be this<br />
way.”<br />
In late April, Chase and his dad filmed<br />
commercial spots for an upcoming PGA<br />
Nationwide Men’s tour event coming to<br />
the Ohio <strong>St</strong>ate University’s Scarlet golf<br />
course. Proceeds from that event will go<br />
to the oncology department at Children’s<br />
Hospital.<br />
“We need to find a cure for the parents<br />
of these children who have no choice but<br />
to helplessly watch as their son or daughter<br />
fights a battle they would gladly fight<br />
in their place,” Chase said in his Washington<br />
testimony. “We need to find a cure<br />
for those lonely children, sitting in bed<br />
today – a bed that is not theirs. We need<br />
to find a cure for those children . . . Cancer<br />
is their fight, but it is our responsibility.<br />
I am here today to thank you for your<br />
help and support. Together, we will find a<br />
cure.”<br />

legislation and read Chase’s entire<br />

Sanders in state tourney<br />
Senior Jeremy Sanders made a historic<br />
return to the Division I state wrestling<br />
tournament this winter. After making<br />
last year’s state tournament, he’s only<br />
the second wrestler in school history to<br />
qualify for multiple state events. Ben<br />
Wickert ’01 qualified for three state<br />
tourney events from 1999-2001.<br />
Sanders is also one of only nine <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> state mat qualifiers in school<br />
history. This season he wrestled at 171<br />
pounds and qualified for the state meet by<br />
winning the sectional in his weight class<br />
and finishing third in the district meet. At<br />
the state tournament he went 1-2.<br />
Shannon runs to state<br />
Junior Jack Shannon gained beneficial<br />
experience last fall in the Division I state<br />
cross country championships by finishing<br />
64th out of 150 runners in a time of<br />
16 minutes, 47 seconds. He was also<br />
recognized as an all-Ohio academic award<br />
winner. Shannon now has his sights on a<br />
return trip to meet at Scioto Downs in his<br />
senior season.<br />
He earned the team’s Brian Wollett<br />
MVP Award for the second straight year<br />
and won individual honors at the <strong>New</strong><br />
Junior Jack Shannon<br />
The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education<br />
Albany Invitational and the Central<br />
Catholic League Meet. Shannon placed<br />
4th in the district (the team 5th) and<br />
secured the state bid by placing 12th<br />
at the regional meet where the team<br />
finished 11th. This winter he turned in<br />
an exciting 2nd place performance at the<br />
Division I level in the Ohio indoor state<br />
championships in the 3200 meter run.<br />
Golf team 5th in state<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> finished 5th in the Division<br />
I state golf tournament at Ohio <strong>St</strong>ate<br />
University’s famed Scarlet course last<br />
fall. The team shot a consistent 328-331<br />
during the two-day event. The team was<br />
lead by junior Chase Williams who shot<br />
a two-round 160, followed by senior Tony<br />
Trace (164), senior Andy Botts (166),<br />
junior Michael Kinkopf (173), and senior<br />
Andrew Mackessy (173).<br />
Williams was selected as the team’s<br />
MVP and was named 2nd team All-<br />
Ohio. Mackessy and Trace served as the<br />
season’s senior co-captains.<br />
This was the first time since 1992<br />
that the <strong>Cardinals</strong> qualified for the<br />
state tournament and the first ever<br />
as a Division I team. They earned<br />
their way with a second-place finish<br />
in the sectionals and third-place<br />
finish in the districts. The team won<br />
three tournaments during the season:<br />
The Worthington Invitational, The<br />
Worthington Christian Invitational, and<br />
The Dublin Jerome Invitational (for a<br />
second year in a row).<br />
Varsity coach Bart Mahoney said that<br />
figuring in the very strong returning<br />
group of golfers, the team has an<br />
exceptional opportunity to qualify for a<br />
return trip to the state tournament.<br />
Track team celebrates tradition,<br />
new record board<br />
By Jeff Pharion ’ 6<br />
The day after Thanksgiving the <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> track and field team got together<br />
for a celebratory luncheon to dedicate<br />
the new record board that hangs in the<br />
gym lobby. Those present included<br />
record holding athletes, their parents,<br />
families and friends; and past and present<br />
coaches. Lunch was provided by the Old<br />
Bag of Nails, and while everyone ate, the<br />
athletes reminisced about their fondest<br />
memories of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> track and field.<br />
The senior record holder present was<br />
Robert Carlisle (’78) who remembered<br />
how different things were when he was<br />
on the team. “My friend and I would drive<br />
a little Volkswagen Beetle to the meets.<br />
We would have to hang his pole vault pole<br />
out of the back window and tie a little<br />
yellow bow on it so other drivers could<br />
see it,” he recalled. The CCL has long<br />
since stopped having the pole vault as an<br />
approved event, but still allow VWs.<br />
Record holders from four different<br />
decades enjoyed seeing each other,<br />
taking pictures with the new board and<br />
remembering the good old days. Among<br />
athletes present were three who are<br />
currently competing in college track and<br />
field. They are Derek Hoye ’04 of Georgia<br />
Tech, Robert Orellana ’04 of Ohio <strong>St</strong>ate<br />
and Tony Connor ’05 of Kent <strong>St</strong>ate.<br />

The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> hockey team celebrates its tournament<br />
victory in the Landon Ramirez Tournament last<br />
December. Later in the year the team fell in the first<br />
round of the Division I state hockey tournament to<br />
Dublin Coffman and finished with an overall record of<br />
15-13-2. Coach Dale Jordan’s team placed fourth in the<br />
Capital Hockey Conference with a 7-4-1 league record.<br />
Team MVP honors were split between junior goalie Kyle<br />
Ray and junior forward Darryl Mason.<br />
Reed Team Player Awardee<br />
Gary Reed (left) and wife, P.J., with <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> senior<br />
football player, Grant Dilley, presented the 2006 Sean<br />
P. Reed Memorial Team Player Award at the fall sports<br />
banquet. The award goes to a non-starter who has<br />
contributed both on the practice and playing field.<br />
It honors a player who shows genuine love to play<br />
football and unselfishly puts the team above himself,<br />
Gary Reed said. The award honors the memory of<br />
the Reeds’ son, Sean, who passed away the winter of<br />
his senior year at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>. It comes with a walnut<br />
shadowbox presentation and $250 that’s donated in the<br />
recipient’s name to the charity of his choice.

Track<br />
continued from page 13<br />
come out of the event was a great feeling<br />
of pride in the program among those who<br />
attended. For not having a track facility,<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> has built a rich tradition<br />
in track and field and the new record<br />
board will allow generations to view past<br />
accomplishments and the school’s rich<br />
tradition of excellence.<br />
Swim team wins state<br />
runner-up honors<br />
Matching its best-ever finish, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
won the Division I runner-up title in the<br />
state swim meet in Canton last fall. The<br />
200 free relay and 400 free relay teams<br />
won second place in their events and the<br />
200 medley relay came in fourth.<br />
Meanwhile the coaching staff was<br />
honored as the “Central District Coaches<br />
of the Year” for the second straight<br />
season.<br />
This year 10 swimmers qualified for and<br />
scored points in the state championship<br />
meet in which the <strong>Cardinals</strong> finished<br />
behind perennial champion Cincinnati<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Xavier, also the state winner the<br />
previous year when <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> was state<br />
runner-up. Earlier in the season, the<br />
<strong>Cardinals</strong> bested Upper Arlington for the<br />
second year in a row to win the Central<br />
District crown which the Golden Bears<br />
had dominated for many years until being<br />
Family involvement<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> junior JoVaughn Holland (right) and his<br />
father, Renato, were on hand to donate the “gift<br />
of life” during the school’s 19th annual Red Cross<br />
Bloodmobile visit. Held in the school’s multi-purpose<br />
building in April, the volunteer effort produced 153<br />
units of whole blood -- 28 units more than last year’s<br />
total. The drive was part of the 2006-07 Columbus Area<br />
private/parochial high school blood campaign. <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> has won the school campaign three straight<br />
years and 16 of the last 17. <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> nurse Betsy<br />
Mason and Cardinal parent and school volunteer, Bill<br />
Nye organized the drive. “The men here at school thrive<br />
on doing things for other people, and this is a great<br />
way for them to give back to the community,” Mason<br />
said.<br />
Superb repeat effort<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> swim team members hoist the Ohio runnerup<br />

The <strong>Cardinals</strong> took second-place honors behind perennial<br />
powerhouse <strong>St</strong>. Xavier for a second straight year.<br />
supplanted by <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> the last two<br />
years.<br />
Notably, the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> varsity team<br />
averaged a 3.46 GPA during the swim<br />
season, which qualifies them to the<br />
National Interscholastic Swimming<br />
Coaches Association academic team. <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> also took first place at the Ned<br />

Chess Club gift provides needed<br />
game boards<br />
The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Chess Club was the beneficiary<br />
of a special gift from <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
parent Dr. James Aman who donated 15<br />
new chess sets and roll-up boards to the<br />
school last fall.<br />
The father of sophomore AliReza<br />
Shirvani-Aman, Dr. Aman is department<br />
chair of computer science at Xavier University<br />
in Chicago. Describing himself as<br />
an “old chess nut,” he holds a tournament<br />
director certification from the U.S. Chess<br />
Federation. He works chess tournaments<br />
handling pairing and floor monitor duties.<br />
He said he was prompted to offer the<br />
gift when his son Ali told him the club<br />
was going to have to limit the number of<br />
members because they didn’t have enough<br />
sets and boards for everyone to play and<br />
practice.<br />

Members of the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> <strong>St</strong>udent Council and<br />
Environmental Service Club in March<br />
participated in a clean-up project in with the Friends of<br />
Alum Creek Tributaries. The groups, led by <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
faculty members Linda Haas and Aaaron Schrein,<br />
cleared away trash and debris from sensitive areas<br />
along Alum Creek, the greenway trail, and roadside<br />
creekbank running between Wolfe Park and Main<br />
<strong>St</strong>reet. The student volunteers collected 40 bags of<br />
trash, not including 12 bags of recyclables (glass,<br />
aluminum, etc.). They also pulled from Alum Creek 32<br />
individual items too large to fit in trash bags. Among<br />
other things, those included a car grill, bumper, and<br />
drive train. Recycling of some metal items produced<br />
about $50 that will help support activities of the new<br />
environmental club being formed at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />

tatives of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>,” Dr. Aman said.<br />
“There is a tremendous amount of raw<br />
ability in the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> student body,<br />
and I don’t see any good reason why the<br />
school cannot dominate the local chess<br />
scene and compete aggressively at the<br />
state and national levels,” he added.<br />
Ali’s mother, Shieda Shirvani-Aman,<br />
was also very involved with the club. She<br />
often provided transportation for the boys<br />
to and from the matches, which were held<br />
once a week at Fort Hayes.<br />
The Chess Club, which senior guidance<br />
counselor Ted Hummer has moderated<br />
since the mid-1980s, has been in the<br />
Columbus Area <strong>School</strong> Chess League for<br />
about 15 years. The league season runs<br />
from January through February. This<br />
year’s team president was senior Vikas<br />
Choudhary.<br />
“<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> this season fielded two<br />
teams but usually only one team competed<br />
each week,” Hummer said. Other<br />
members of the league include Columbus<br />

First Jazz Ensemble CD produced<br />
in new SC studio<br />
The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> band program has truly<br />
fallen in love with its new home, the Monsignor<br />
F. Thomas Gallen ’40 Music Room<br />
on the third floor of the <strong>St</strong>udent Services<br />
& Fine Arts Center. During the previous<br />
two years, musicians were forced to practice<br />
in the cramped “Tower Room.”<br />
Mr. Rick Brunetto said the new surroundings<br />
help bring about significant<br />
improvement to the band program. There<br />
is a large space for the full ensemble and<br />
the office space serves as a control room.<br />
As a surprise bonus, Brunetto found the<br />
acoustics in the new music room are ideal<br />
for recording. As a result, the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
band program now has a recording studio<br />
Here’s the jacket for the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> jazz band’s first CD<br />
entitled Take ONE.<br />
Music compilation<br />
Band director Rick Brunetto and several <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
students practice use of a mixing board and digital recording<br />
computer software in the Monsignor F. Thomas<br />
Gallen Music Room faculty office. From left are junior<br />
Andrew Latimer, sophomore Zach Ireson, freshman<br />
Sam Binnig (seated), Brunetto, and senior Alan Tyson.<br />
with newly-purchased recording equipment<br />
and many new instruments. These<br />
were funded by proceeds from the sale<br />
of Bobble Heads, the annual jazz band<br />
dinner dance, and generous contributions<br />
from the band boosters organization.<br />
Brunetto describes the studio as state<br />
of the art. It features a digital computerbased<br />
recording system with mixer,<br />
speakers, and microphones. He says there<br />
has been much student interest in the<br />
studio, and he’s now offering a weekly<br />
class in audio engineering.<br />
Sessions are held on Tuesdays after<br />
school. <strong>St</strong>udents learn the theory of the<br />
analog and digital recording process,<br />
acoustics of sound, console and microphone<br />
technology, and the mixdown<br />
process of mastering a CD.<br />
Using the new equipment, the students<br />
of the new music technology class engineered<br />
and produced Take ONE, the <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> Jazz Ensemble’s first CD recording.<br />
The ensemble spent many hours over<br />
the past semester working in the studio.<br />
The CD was released at the band’s annual<br />
dinner dance May 5 at the 94th Aero<br />
Squadron Restaurant.<br />
“This new facility is a joy to teach in<br />
and I can see a difference in the quality of<br />
our music making and the response of our<br />
students,” Brunetto said. “It will surely<br />
help us attract talented music students to<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> in the future,” he predicted.<br />
The new CD includes many swing<br />
classics and favorites that the band has<br />
performed during the past several years.<br />
Copies of the CD are available for $10 by<br />

A triumphant return<br />
By Michael S. Probst ’<br />
The Saint <strong>Charles</strong><br />
Alumni Association<br />
on Sunday,<br />
February 25,<br />
sponsored the <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> Spaghetti<br />
Dinner in the<br />
magnificent Robert<br />
C. Walter <strong>St</strong>udent<br />
Commons. It was<br />
a triumphant<br />
return of a special<br />
Michael S. Probst ’89<br />
event in support<br />
of our Cardinal<br />
community after an interruption of many<br />
years. The turnout of 1,200 exceeded<br />
expectations.<br />
The Alumni Association extends a warm<br />
“thank you” to Anthony and TJ Susi<br />
(and Mama Susi, too, for rolling all those<br />
meatballs by hand!!), as well as their<br />
staff at Berwick Manor for their generous<br />
The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> presents Distinguished Alumnus Awards<br />
to 3 grads<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> specifically chooses the<br />
all-school Mass as the forum at which<br />
to honor these men because it enables<br />
the school to publicly acknowledge their<br />
achievements and to hold them up as<br />
visible role models for the student body to<br />
emulate.<br />
Those honored were:<br />
Robert H. Albert, Class of 1949, in<br />
recognition of his longtime success as a<br />
member of the legal profession; as leader<br />
in the business community; and for his<br />
service to the Church, especially at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Joseph Cathedral in downtown Columbus;<br />
Dan Connor ‘57, second from right, with (from left)<br />
Susie and Dan’s brother, John ’63, Sharon Dougherty,<br />
and Kate (nee Connor) Ferguson.<br />
contributions to this effort. Their<br />
participation was decisive in our ability<br />
to offer a great meal at a tremendously<br />
bargain price. Thank all of you for being<br />
so accommodating to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> in<br />
facilitating this event!<br />
We also want to recognize all the<br />
volunteers who devoted their time and<br />
efforts to help make the dinner such an<br />
overwhelming success. They included<br />
Saint <strong>Charles</strong> past and present faculty<br />
members, staff members, alumni,<br />
students, parents, family members and<br />
members of the Alumni Association.<br />
Without your dedication and time, we<br />
would not have been able to pull off this<br />
very successful event. Thank you!<br />
A very special thanks to Homer Beard<br />
’46, Gerard Barrow ’72, and Phil Caito ’72,<br />
who worked the entire day on site helping<br />
me in so many ways. Special kudos to the<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Concert band and its director,<br />
Rick Brunetto, for two hours of great<br />
entertainment!<br />
We hope you all enjoyed your dinner<br />
and social interaction with our <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
community. We look forward to planning,<br />
Daniel D. Connor, Class of 1957, in<br />
recognition of his longtime success in the<br />
legal profession and leader in the business<br />
community; and compassion toward his<br />
fellow man as represented through his<br />
philanthropy and selfless community<br />
service.<br />
Francis R. Kreber, Class of 1946, in<br />
recognition of his longtime success in<br />
the business community; and for his<br />
work on behalf of his fellow man through<br />
his philanthropy and service-oriented<br />
activities.<br />
Francis R. Kreber ’46, with his wife, Mary Lou.<br />
organizing, and making this event even<br />
better in 2008. Meanwhile, we encourage<br />

“Update” initiative<br />
launched; search is on for<br />
missing info<br />
We at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
are working on a<br />
broad initiative to<br />
update information<br />
on our community<br />
members. Attempts<br />
to reach “younger”<br />
college student<br />

alumni through<br />
e-mails, phone<br />
calls, and the U.S.<br />

mail are meeting<br />
with increasing<br />
“bouncebacks.” And many graduates<br />
simply retain their parents home address<br />
as a “home base.”<br />
We encourage alumni to use the<br />
convenience of the internet to visit the <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> website (www.stcharlesprep.org)<br />
and provide us your contact information<br />
and a quick update on your happenings.<br />

Eight ’07 class reunions<br />
to celebrate Aug. 17-19<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> will be the meeting site this<br />
summer, Aug. 17-18-19, for a Combined<br />
Class Reunion Celebration for the classes<br />
of 1957 (Golden), 1962, 1967, 1977, 1982<br />
(Silver), 1987, 1992, and 1997.<br />
The Class of 1972 will meet June 9 to<br />
accommodate the vacation schedules of its<br />
small class of 19 members.<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> adopted the combined class<br />
reunion format last year. It was held on<br />
the campus in the beautiful new Robert<br />
C. Walter <strong>St</strong>udent Commons, which<br />
proved to be an ideal setting for the<br />
event honoring all reunion classes. This<br />
new space and its 13 cherry-wrapped<br />
support columns provide a special<br />
venue to recognize all 4,881 <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
<strong>Preparatory</strong> <strong>School</strong> alumni from the Class<br />
of 1927 to the Class of 2006 on beautiful<br />
tempered glass panels.<br />
Each class schedules its own<br />
individualized weekend activities. All<br />
classes then gather together on the<br />
campus in the Walter <strong>St</strong>udent Commons<br />
for combined special Saturday afternoon<br />
and evening programs organized entirely<br />
by <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>.<br />
All members of this year’s special<br />
reunion classes should have received a<br />
letter in late March detailing preliminary<br />
activities that their class reunion<br />
committees have planned. A letter<br />
detailing specific times, activities, and<br />
costs will be sent in early June. If you did<br />
not receive one of these letters, please<br />
contact alumni director Louis J. Fabro ’83,<br />
by e-mail at lfabro@stcharlesprep.org or<br />
by phone at 614-252-9288 ext. 21.<br />
All reunion groups will meet together<br />
as a single community for a Saturday<br />
afternoon and evening program that<br />
includes campus tours; an all-class Mass<br />
concelebrated by alumni priests in Mother<br />
of Mercy Chapel; “<strong>St</strong>ate-of-the-<strong>School</strong>”<br />
presentations, class photos; and an “open”<br />
cocktail reception and buffet dinner<br />
(around $40 cost per person) in the Walter<br />
<strong>St</strong>udent Commons.<br />
This same format was used last year<br />
when the classes of 1956, 1961, 1976,<br />
1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, and 2001<br />
convened at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> in the first<br />
combined reunion. The atmosphere<br />
created by five decades of Cardinal<br />
alumni joining together was very special<br />
and the camaraderie shared amongst<br />
graduates was an uplifting experience.<br />
Vital to a reunion’s success is the<br />
willingness of classmates to step forward<br />
to assist. You can be a big help by<br />
doing one or all of the following tasks:<br />
providing/confirming your current<br />
contact information for future reunion<br />
communications; volunteer to make<br />
one-on-one phone calls to classmates to<br />
encourage their attendance at the August<br />
event; or to indicate what activities<br />
YOU would like to see planned for the<br />
weekend. Contact alumni director Louis<br />

‘that’ field,” Taynor said. “I knew Preston was a cheerleader the<br />
year before, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m glad I did. Both<br />
the guys and girls on the team are great, and are already close<br />
friends.”<br />

John McGrail is a member of<br />
the Denver Police Department<br />
and a part- time coach for the<br />
University of Colorado men’s<br />
lacrosse team.<br />
But one of his top goals is the ’08<br />
Summer Olympics in Beijing. In a story<br />
published in the Arizona <strong>St</strong>ar Gazette,<br />
Ritter said, “Ever since I’ve been here<br />
(UA) I’ve been swimming with gold<br />
medalists and national champions.<br />
Go “WC”<br />
On the winner’s podium at the 2006 Division I national<br />
swimming championships, Ritter holds his championship<br />
trophy in one hand and flashes the sign for<br />
“Wildcats,” Arizona’s school nickname.<br />
He attended Ohio Wesleyan for<br />
two years and played varsity<br />
lacrosse both years. After the<br />
death of his friend, Brian Muha,<br />
he took a break from college<br />
and moved to Breckenridge,<br />
Colorado where he worked as a<br />
ski lift operator. A year later he<br />
enrolled at Arizona <strong>St</strong>ate University<br />
to study human communications.<br />
While at ASU he was offered a<br />
job as a coach with the University<br />
of Colorado men’s lacrosse<br />
program and moved to Denver<br />
with friends from Ohio Wesleyan.<br />
He also took up banking<br />
with Wells Fargo. In addition, he<br />
said “I was pursing a career with<br />
the fire department at the time<br />
but realized it was not for me<br />
so I saw an opportunity in law<br />
enforcement with the Denver<br />
Police Department. I have only<br />
been on the force for one year<br />
but every minute has been a<br />
blast,” he said. In his free time<br />
he loves to snowboard.<br />
On a related note, McGrail and<br />
1986 grad Mark Belusak not<br />
only work for the same police<br />
department but are both assigned<br />
to the same district --<br />

Chris Roscoe has worked at<br />
Honda of America in Marysville<br />
and is graduating from The Ohio<br />
<strong>St</strong>ate University Fisher College<br />
of Business with an MBA in<br />
August. He earned a degree in<br />
mechanical engineering in 2001<br />
from Ohio Northern University.<br />
He and his wife, Jaclyn (nee<br />
Broerman), were married in<br />
2003 and live in Lewis Center.<br />
1996<br />
Initially, there was a shock factor,” he<br />
said. “But then I started believing that if I<br />
train with them, I can compete with them.<br />
This is the best training atmosphere in<br />
the world. That’s why I have been able to<br />
accomplish everything I set out to do four<br />
years ago.”<br />
Ritter isn’t concerned about athletic<br />
burnout that might affect his swimming.<br />
“I’ve improved every year and am<br />
enjoying the sport now more than I ever<br />
have,” he said. “Without a doubt,” he<br />
said, “I’m going to the Olympic trials in<br />
’08 and hopefully swim for as long as I<br />
can. I was the youngest finalist in the<br />
100m free at 21,” he recalled, “and the<br />
second youngest finalist in the 200m free<br />
at last year’s world championship trials.”<br />
Commenting about his swimming<br />
experiences at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>, Ritter said,<br />
“Mostly I remember the teammates I had.<br />
I still talk with several of them, which is<br />
a testament to the bond we forged while<br />
working toward a common goal.” He<br />
added that the brotherhood at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
and on the swim team certainly was<br />
unique and something he feels fortunate<br />
to have been a part of. Ritter joked that<br />
“I would barely have gotten a spot on<br />
SC’s current swim team. Kyle (coach Kyle<br />
Goodrich ’95) really has those guys going<br />
in the right direction!”<br />
Kip D. Malek reports he’s been<br />
involved for seven years in the<br />
video game development field,<br />
particularly in texturing and<br />
character modeling. He’s also<br />
eyeing a possible position as<br />
assistant art teacher. He’d also<br />
like to get involved in concept<br />
art work and concentrate on his<br />
portfolio, but finds it’s difficult<br />
while working full time in his industry.<br />
Zachary T. Ball ’95<br />
1995<br />
Zachary T. Ball has had more<br />
than a distinguished college experience<br />
and early professional<br />
career thus far. In January he<br />
began a new position at Rice<br />
University in Houston as an assistant<br />
professor of chemistry.<br />
Ball earned a Ph.D. in chemistry<br />
from <strong>St</strong>anford University in<br />
2004 after graduating from Harvard<br />
University in 1999 magna<br />
cum laude with highest honors<br />
in chemistry.<br />
He is Rice University’s Norman<br />
Hackerman-Welch Young Investigator.<br />
From 2004 to 2006 he<br />
was the Miller Research Fellow<br />
at the Miller Institute for basic<br />
research in science at Berkeley,<br />
Commenting further, Ritter said:<br />
“You’ll hear this from just about every<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> grad -- <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> teaches<br />
discipline and loyalty. For the men that<br />
made it through, these ideals are strong<br />
and have created a base that I have tried<br />
to build upon in college. He added, “The<br />
SC motto, Facta non Verba is something<br />
that I live by to this day. Those words<br />
are printed in my room to remind me<br />
everyday that you must live your life the<br />
right way not only through words but<br />
through your actions as well. I couldn’t<br />
give enough credit to the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
community and what the school has done<br />
for me.”<br />
Adam Ritter’s brother, Kyle ’05, also<br />
is enrolled at the University of Arizona.<br />
They share an apartment there. “Kyle’s<br />
doing great,” Adam said. “He’s getting a<br />
3.9 in mechanical engineering, has made<br />
the dean’s list every semester so far,<br />
and seems to really enjoy being here in<br />
Tucson. I think it’s funny that he’s been<br />
able to get higher grades in college than<br />
he did at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>!”<br />
Adam will remain in Tucson to train for<br />
the World University Games, in Bangkok,<br />
Thailand, in August, and thereafter get<br />
serious about making the 2008 USA<br />

2004 he did graduate research<br />
at <strong>St</strong>anford. Ball earned an undergraduate<br />
research fellowship<br />
from Harvard’s college research<br />
program from 1996 to1999.<br />
His teaching career began in<br />
2003 as a course assistant at<br />

’87 grad fulfills dream in<br />
Rockies; now looking to Latin<br />
America<br />
Positive-thinking gurus have nothing on Loren<br />
C. <strong>St</strong>one. The 1987 graduate has parlayed his<br />
love of the Rocky Mountains and his dream into<br />
a successful and growing career in the resort and<br />
hospitality industry.<br />
Three years ago he and a partner formed a<br />
management company, Sovereign Hospitality<br />
International, in Colorado after another hotel<br />
management company he had worked for went<br />
out of business. Undaunted by the setback<br />
and previous job losses in the industry due to<br />
“corporate restructurings,” <strong>St</strong>one and his partner<br />
formed SHI and took control of a local area resort,<br />
The Lodge & Spa at Breckenridge in Colorado.<br />
This past year, having helped turned around the<br />
fortunes of the Lodge, <strong>St</strong>one’s company now has<br />
an ownership position in the facility’s $20 million<br />
expansion and renovation. <strong>St</strong>one has used that<br />
success as a platform to form and expand two other<br />
companies, Sovereign Hospitality Management<br />
and Sovereign Development Partners, also based<br />
there in Colorado.<br />
<strong>St</strong>one has been living in Mexico for several<br />
months and his business partners are about<br />
to launch a new company in Latin America.<br />
Their efforts have expanded into Mexico with El<br />
Santuario Resort & Spa and more development<br />
and management deals throughout Mexico<br />
and The United <strong>St</strong>ates. “I am still working on<br />
becoming fluent in Spanish,” he confessed. “I<br />
should have paid more attention…don’t tell Mr.<br />
Pena.”<br />
Commenting about his recent successes, <strong>St</strong>one<br />
said he learned many lessons that have effectively<br />
worked for him. They include: get involved; believe<br />
Front page disappointment<br />
Dr. Kevin O’Reilly ’86 traveled to Glendale, Arizona for the BCS<br />
Championship game and saw his beloved Buckeyes take a beating<br />
at the hands of the University of Florida Gators. O’Reilly, a<br />
Columbus physician specializing in kidney disorders, returned to<br />
Columbus a few days later to find his picture prominently displayed<br />
on the front page of several area community newspapers.<br />
Managing a bright career<br />
Loren C. <strong>St</strong>one ’87, south of the border on a trip to visit a resort<br />
hotel overlooking the mountains and the lake in Valle de Bravo,<br />
Mexico. The location is a new resort property that <strong>St</strong>one’s company<br />
manages. <strong>St</strong>one is attired in a beautiful tunic that serves as a<br />
uniform for the resort’s staff.<br />
in people; don’t be afraid to make change; lead<br />
accordingly; and mostly, visualize your success.<br />
Getting involved is something <strong>St</strong>one not only<br />
preaches, but practices as well. For more than<br />
seven years he’s been actively involved in his local<br />
Breckenridge community serving as an elected<br />
board/committee member for the Summit County<br />
Chamber of Commerce, the Summit Advisory<br />
Board of Economic Development, and the Summit<br />
County Visitor Information Center. He’s also been<br />
a volunteer firefighter.<br />
<strong>St</strong>one this past year received the Ben Fogle<br />
Award from the local chamber on which he served<br />
as president in 2004 and 2005. It is the highest<br />
honor recognizing exemplary service and impact<br />
to the business community. He was also recently<br />
appointed as the newest member of the 2007<br />
Marketing Task Force for the International Spa<br />
Association, a group of more than 2,700 members<br />
in 75 countries that serves as the voice for healthy<br />
living and the industry.<br />
After graduation from <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>, he earned a<br />
degree at Kent <strong>St</strong>ate University and in 1997 moved<br />
to Breckenridge “to pursue my dream of living in<br />
the mountains with the goal of doing something<br />
great.” That same year he and his wife, Shirley<br />
Chapura, were married. Among <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> alumni<br />
are Loren’s brothers, Damian S. ’90 and Timothy J.<br />
’96.<br />
<strong>St</strong>one said that he has maintained many of his<br />
friendships from <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>. “In watching the<br />
growth and expansion of the school it is amazing<br />
that the students today are being given even<br />
greater opportunities to build that foundation<br />
for their first twenty years after graduation. As a<br />
student and alumnus you have things in common<br />
from the superior education you received at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> and the opportunity to get involved.”<br />
<strong>St</strong>one feels, that while choices in everyday life<br />
are not always easy and usually quite hard, he<br />
chooses to “drive through those crossroads and<br />
take control of my life. If you make a wrong choice<br />
in life, make a new one -- take action! Whatever<br />
you want to do it is your prerogative and be proud<br />
of your choice.”<br />

The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education<br />
’80 graduate, a paramedic,<br />
gives wife life-saving kidney<br />
Acting as “their brother’s keeper” has been a<br />
hallmark of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> graduates. In the case of<br />
Daniel A. Nye ’80, he has lived that mantra like<br />
few others have.<br />
Nye, a paramedic with the Columbus Fire<br />
Department, is daily called upon to save the lives<br />
of those in some of the most desperate situations.<br />
In January he answered a life and death situation<br />
very close to home; he gave one of his kidneys to<br />
his wife, Wendy.<br />
Nye came to the aid of his wife who was<br />
diagnosed with lupus in 1993 while pregnant<br />
with the couple’s daughter, Abby. That disease<br />
causes the immune system, for unknown reasons,<br />
to becomes hyperactive and attack normal body<br />
tissues. Lupus can occur at any age and in either<br />
sex, but nine out of ten people afflicted with the<br />
disease are women.<br />
Wendy’s kidneys were affected and major<br />
complications were first seen following the birth of<br />
Abby. The lupus, however, was stabilized for the<br />
most part until last October when the Nyes’ were<br />
told a transplant was needed within a year.<br />
The kidney function deteriorated much more<br />
quickly than expected and Wendy was admitted<br />
to Riverside hospital for implantation of a dialysis<br />
port. Testing was started at once to determine<br />
if there were possible donor matches among any<br />
family members. By the end of January, Dan was<br />
cleared for the transplant. The operation took place<br />
February 13 and was a success.<br />
“I am so grateful that I was able to do this for my<br />
wife,” Nye said. “I consider this a blessing. Thank<br />
God for all the people that helped us through.”<br />
Nye said he and his family were moved “more than<br />

Former alumni president<br />
studying for diaconate<br />
Marion Smithburger ’72 of Columbus is<br />
studying to become a permanent deacon<br />
in the Columbus Diocese. He began his<br />
journey a year and a half ago and is more<br />
than halfway to his goal after receiving<br />
the Rite of Lector last December. He is<br />
scheduled to receive the Rite of Acolyte<br />
in November. His ordination as deacon<br />
is tentatively scheduled for November-<br />
December of 2008 and currently he’s<br />
doing his internship at <strong>St</strong>. Peter and at<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Timothy parishes.<br />
He is on the board and is past president<br />
of the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Alumni Association.<br />
He’s executive director of the Columbus<br />
Bar Foundation and director of the<br />
lawyer referral service. Marion joined<br />
the Columbus Bar Association (CBA) as<br />
assistant executive director in 1978 and<br />
with the CBF in 1985. He splits his time<br />
with the two groups.<br />
Smithberger has a number of<br />
professional affiliations. He’s a trustee<br />
for The Ohio Center for Law-Related<br />
Education, past president of the Legal Aid<br />
Society of Columbus, and currently serves<br />
as chair of its development committee.<br />
He is a consultant on the American Bar<br />
Association’s peer assistance and review<br />
team. Smithberger is past president of<br />
the ABA’s National Conference of Bar<br />
Foundations and is active with youth<br />
education in his parish of <strong>St</strong>. Peter.<br />
He and his wife, Carol Sheehan, have<br />
been married 22 years. She is a partner<br />
at the law firm of Carlile Patchen<br />
and Murphy. The couple’s 21 year-old<br />
daughter, Mandy, will be a senior at<br />
The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education<br />
Smith College.<br />
“Our wives are critical to the formation<br />
process,” Smithberger said. “While they<br />
are not required to be involved, their full<br />
and free consent is required. We could not<br />
do the school work and ministry without<br />
them (picking up additional work at<br />
home).”<br />
Deacon Frank Iannarino ’71, director<br />
of the diocese’s Permanent Diaconate,<br />
notes that the Catholic clergy has three<br />
holy orders: deacon, priest, and bishop.<br />
Once ordained deacon, Smithburger no<br />
longer will be considered a layperson but<br />
a member of the clergy. Unlike the orders<br />
of priest and bishop, the diaconate is open<br />
to married men.<br />
Orthodox leader<br />
Archbishop Lorenzo Casati ’71<br />
Archbishop Casati came<br />
long way to attend 30year<br />
class reunion<br />
Archbishop Lorenzo Casati made quite a<br />
trip to attend his class’ 30-year reunion<br />
last summer. Wanting to “see old friends,<br />
people I’ve known almost all my life,” the<br />
Archbishop of the Orthodox Church said<br />
he extended his annual trip to the U.S. to<br />
attend the event.<br />
After graduating from <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>, he<br />
went on to the University of Dayton and<br />
earned a degree in theological studies<br />
with minors in philosophy, history,<br />
and languages (Italian, Spanish, and<br />
English). He continued his studies at the<br />
Athenaeum of Ohio, pursuing a master’s<br />
of arts in biblical studies and in sacred<br />
theology. After teaching a few years he<br />
completed another year of Byzantine<br />
theological studies.<br />
Archbishop Casati was ordained to<br />
the priesthood of the Orthodox Church<br />
in 1983, pastored an old parish in the<br />
Cleveland area, and later founded a<br />
mission in southern Ohio. While visiting<br />
relatives in Italy in late 1989, he was<br />
asked to consider serving the Church<br />
in Italy. He was granted necessary<br />
permission of his bishop in the U.S., and<br />
then moved to Italy in early 1990.<br />
“In Italy,” he said, “I travel around<br />
helping out in various parishes, spending<br />
several months in Rome serving there<br />
in the Russian Orthodox Church. I also<br />
support myself doing demographic,<br />
historical, and genealogical research<br />
in old archives up and down the length<br />
of Italy. This gave me many wonderful<br />
opportunities to know the country, hone<br />
my language skills, meet people and<br />
publish the results of my research,” he<br />
said.<br />
Archbishop Casati said that in those<br />
early and subsequent years, he also spent<br />
a lot of time in England and Ireland and<br />
traveled elsewhere in Europe.<br />
After founding a mission in Palermo,<br />
Sicily, he was consecrated bishop in 1996<br />
and is now Archbishop of Palermo and<br />
All-Italy for the Ukrainian Autocephalous<br />
Orthodox Church. “The title may be<br />
impressive, but the responsibilities<br />
are many and our financial resources<br />
are extremely limited,” he explained.<br />
“We have many faithful -- Italians,<br />
Romanians, Serbs, Ukrainians and<br />
others, but very few structures and not<br />
enough clergy!<br />
“As all my priests and their wives<br />
have secular jobs, I, too, support myself,<br />
working as a certified English teacher,<br />
teaching the language at a local high<br />
school and part-time at the University of<br />
Palermo. I also care for a small diocese in<br />
the U.S. which has four mission parishes,”<br />
he said.<br />
The Archbishop credits the academic<br />
preparation he received at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
in providing him an excellent basis for<br />
his subsequent studies and for living in<br />
Europe, whose cultural and historical<br />
milieu he says require “a level of cultural<br />
appreciation not generally available in<br />
most American schools.”<br />
“Their acute interest in our education<br />
and the knowledge that they imparted<br />
defy comparison. Monsignor Bennett is<br />
especially to be thanked for helping us to<br />
acquire knowledge on our own by teaching<br />
us proper research and study methods.<br />
I have often said to family and friends<br />
that, after my four years at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>,<br />
university and graduate school came<br />
easy.”<br />
The Archbishop has two brothers<br />
who attended <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>: One brother,<br />
Mark J. ’73 , lives in Connecticut and<br />
another brother Christopher G. attended<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> from 1971-1973 but had to<br />
complete high school in Findlay as the<br />
Casati parents moved there at the end of<br />
his sophomore year.

’62 grad Pat O’Reilly in<br />
24th year with <strong>New</strong>sies;<br />
starts presidency<br />
Pat O’Reilly is in his 24th year with the<br />
Charity <strong>New</strong>sies. A 1962 <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
graduate, O’Reilly has risen through the<br />
ranks since he started working with the<br />
charitable group and this year served as<br />
chairman of its all-important fund-raising<br />
newspaper sales drive.<br />
O’Reilly will become <strong>New</strong>sies president<br />
in June and board chairman next year.<br />
Many other <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> men have<br />
helped needy members of the Central<br />
Ohio community through their work<br />
with Charity <strong>New</strong>sies. They include the<br />
late George Rieser (Class of 1946), John<br />
Mullin (Class of 1954), and Bart Mahoney<br />
(former golf coach at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>). All are<br />
past presidents of the organization. Many<br />
other <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> men have been and continue<br />
to be Charity <strong>New</strong>sies volunteers.<br />
The <strong>New</strong>sies are in their 100th year of<br />
service. O’Reilly said the <strong>New</strong>sies mission<br />
has always been to make certain that no<br />
child is kept from attending school for<br />
lack of proper clothing. The group provides<br />
needy children appropriate clothing<br />
from underwear to winter coats, shoes,<br />
and if required, vouchers for school uniforms.<br />
O’Reilly proudly noted that a hallmark<br />
of the <strong>New</strong>sies is that each child who<br />
receives clothes from the group is visited<br />
by <strong>New</strong>sies representatives in his or her<br />
home to validate needs. “But more importantly,”<br />
he said, the visits “offer a positive<br />
message of encouragement for the child<br />
to remain in school and to develop their<br />
full potential.” <strong>New</strong>sies last year clothed<br />
13,360 needy school children of whom<br />
almost 600 were from the Columbus Diocese<br />
including 15 at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>.<br />
A Columbus native and graduate of the<br />
Ohio <strong>St</strong>ate University, O’Reilly and his<br />
wife, Diana, have two children and six<br />
grandchildren. His son, Dennis, is a 1985<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> graduate and is following in<br />
his father’s footsteps. He’s a <strong>New</strong>sie and<br />
serves as corner captain at Main and<br />
Cleveland Avenue in Westerville. It’s a<br />
corner where he and some of his friends<br />
from <strong>St</strong>. Francis DeSales High <strong>School</strong><br />
started working more than 10 years ago.<br />
O’Reilly, who carried newspapers from<br />
grade school until his senior year at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong>, helped establish in his second<br />
year with the <strong>New</strong>sies a new site for the<br />
organization’s annual paper sale (Frantz<br />
Road and Route 161). Over time he became<br />
involved in various committees. He<br />
served as <strong>New</strong>sies treasurer from 1996-<br />
2002 and in 2005 was elected second vicepresident.<br />
That automatically boosted<br />
<strong>New</strong>sies Drive Chairman<br />
Patrick J. O’Reilly ’62<br />
him to assistant drive chairman and a<br />
four-year commitment as an officer.<br />
The <strong>New</strong>sies have proudly stated for<br />
100 years “100% for Charity.” That<br />
means 100% of every dollar donated is<br />
used only to purchase clothing for needy<br />
school children. The administrative, management,<br />
and fundraising expenses of the<br />
<strong>New</strong>sies are paid for by the annual dues<br />
from each <strong>New</strong>sie, membership fundraising<br />
events, and investment earnings.<br />
It is a volunteer run organization with<br />
only three full-time employees. Thus, the<br />
volunteer effort of some 700 <strong>New</strong>sies is<br />
necessary.<br />
“Why do I volunteer?” O’Reilly asks. “I<br />
think it began through the influence of<br />
several of my <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> instructors and<br />
mentors. Fr. Robert O’Brien and Coach<br />
Jack Ryan instilled in me a desire to serve<br />
others in ways (that) could best utilize<br />
my God-given talents. They chose me to<br />
go to youth in government programs and<br />
encouraged me to accept leadership in<br />
volunteer youth organizations. I have just<br />
kept doing those things all my life. My life<br />
has been blessed and I hope to continue<br />
serving God by serving others.”<br />
In addition to his deep involvement<br />
with the <strong>New</strong>sies, O’Reilly has been active<br />
in a variety of other community organizations.<br />
He served many years as treasurer<br />
for the Committee for Children for Franklin<br />
County’s Children Services. He was<br />
a candidate for Franklin County auditor<br />
and currently is on the board of Nazareth<br />
Towers.<br />
A Certified Public Accountant, O’Reilly<br />
is vice president of MedComm Billing<br />
Consultants, LTD. He was the treasurer<br />
of the Pontifical College Josephinum for<br />
eight years and formerly was a partner in<br />
the international CPA firm of Deloitte &<br />
Touche.<br />
O’Reilly is a former Ohio <strong>St</strong>ate University<br />
lecturer. He’s a former chairman<br />
of the Accountancy Board of Ohio and<br />
served as vice president of the Ohio Society<br />
of CPAs and president of its Columbus<br />
Chapter. He also served as president of<br />

<strong>Charles</strong> C. King ’52<br />
King ’52, ex-<strong>St</strong>. Xavier AD,<br />
roots for swim Cards<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> “Chuck” King , Class<br />
of ’52, contacted alumni director<br />
Louis J. Fabro ’83 to offer his<br />
compliments after seeing the<br />
results of this year’s Division I<br />
state high school swim meet in<br />
which <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> won the Ohio<br />
runner-up title to champion Cincinnati<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Xavier High <strong>School</strong>.<br />
From 1964-67, King was the<br />
athletics director at “<strong>St</strong>. X,” an<br />
all-male Jesuit high school in<br />
Cincinnati. “The natatorium at<br />
<strong>St</strong>. X sure made a difference in<br />
the <strong>St</strong>. X program,” he noted.<br />
“Just like the natatorium has<br />
done for <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>. Just some<br />
trivia! Makes me proud to have<br />
an association with both great<br />
schools!!!”<br />
Despite his past involvement<br />
with ST. X, King said he’s a<br />
die-hard Cardinal fan. “It’s now<br />
Columbus <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>’ turn!!<br />
Go <strong>Cardinals</strong>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” He<br />
noted that more importantly, <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> finished ahead of Upper<br />
Arlington, a school steeped in a<br />
long history of swimming dominance.<br />
“Super! Just Super!!!”<br />
King has another reason for<br />
being proud of Cardinal’s swimming<br />
program: he was on the<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> swimming team for<br />
two years (1949-1951). “We<br />
practiced every night at Ohio<br />
<strong>St</strong>ate’s recreation pool (and our<br />
meets were held there); none<br />
The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education<br />
of us had cars, so we took city<br />
buses to OSU and home.”<br />
He noted the similarity of <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> and <strong>St</strong>. Xavier with<br />
their single-sex enrollment, (although<br />
<strong>St</strong>. X. is much larger with<br />
1,500 young men vs. 575 for <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong>), and a great emphasis<br />
on education. King also pointed<br />
out that <strong>St</strong>. X had a bit of a head<br />
start, having been founded 167<br />
years ago, making it nearly<br />
twice as old at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>.<br />
King graduated from <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
in 1952 along with his brother,<br />
Paul “Buddy” King. From 1952-<br />
1954 he attended The Ohio<br />
<strong>St</strong>ate University before becoming<br />
a member of the U.S. Army<br />
Medical Corps in Fort Lewis,<br />
Washington.<br />
In 1956 he married Margaret<br />
(Burke) and began classes at<br />
California <strong>St</strong>ate Polytechnic<br />
College (Cal Poly) in San Luis<br />
Obispo, Calif. where he played<br />
football and basketball. In 1959<br />
he earned a B.S. in education<br />
from The Ohio <strong>St</strong>ate University,<br />
majoring in health, phys ed and<br />
recreation with minors in history<br />
and biology. King earned a<br />
master’s in education from Xavier<br />
(OH) University, taught biology<br />
and history at Gibsonburg<br />
High <strong>School</strong> in Gibsonsburg,<br />
Ohio, and also served there as<br />
an assistant football and basketball<br />
coach. From 1960-1963<br />
he taught history and American<br />
government and served<br />
as an assistant football coach<br />
and head basketball coach in<br />
Cincinnati at Finneytown High<br />
<strong>School</strong>, a small co-educational<br />
public school.<br />
As basketball coach he crossed<br />
paths with the head basketball<br />
coach at <strong>St</strong>. Xavier High and<br />
the two became good friends.<br />
When openings for athletic director<br />
and a biology teacher<br />
arose, King was interviewed<br />
and was hired. He remained at<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Xavier for three years as its<br />
AD until 1967 when he entered<br />
the insurance business, from<br />
which he retired in 2005.<br />

Geiszler served in<br />
WWII South Pacific<br />
campaign<br />
Following his graduation from<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>, William J. Geiszler<br />
Sr. joined the U. S. Air Force and<br />
served in WWII in <strong>New</strong> Guinea<br />
and the Philippine Islands with<br />
the 100th Bomb Squadron,<br />
42nd Bomb Group. He declares<br />
he is a graduate of the “University<br />
of Hard Knocks!” Geiszler<br />
retired after 25 years with National<br />
Plumbing <strong>St</strong>ores/Integrity<br />
Supply where he was a district<br />
manager in Ohio.<br />
“Msgr. Wolz (George T.) ingrained<br />
with me the fact that no<br />
matter what course of education<br />
or new project… that if you concentrate<br />
on the basics and foundation,<br />
success will be easier to<br />
achieve,” he recalled.<br />
His freshman class had only<br />
69 students who were divided<br />
into two homerooms. In those<br />
days, students remained in their<br />
“homeroom” throughout the<br />
day, and it was the faculty who<br />
traveled through the halls to<br />
their teaching classrooms. As<br />
sophomores the class dwindled<br />
to 46 and as juniors 36 students<br />
remained. There were 32 left<br />
when the class graduated in<br />
1940.<br />
“This period was part of the<br />
‘Great Depression,’” Geiszler<br />
said. “I remember that one of<br />
the priests told us that it was<br />
not necessary to wear the latest<br />
fashions, but that soap was<br />
inexpensive. The only president<br />
we ever knew was Franklin D.<br />
Roosevelt. We were indoctrinated<br />
with slogans such as ‘happy<br />
days are here again,’ and many<br />
government programs.” He recalled<br />
the <strong>New</strong> Deal, Bankers<br />
Holiday, the repeal of Prohibition,<br />
initiation of Social Security,<br />
the Civilian Conservation Corps<br />
(CCC), and the Works Project<br />
Administration (WPA).<br />
During those years, Geiszler<br />
said there were (conservatively)<br />
30 bikes parked in the North<br />
Courtyard (now the location of<br />
the Robert C. Walter <strong>St</strong>udent<br />
Commons and the <strong>St</strong>udent Services<br />
& Fine Arts Center). Many<br />
students had paper routes. At<br />
this time, the Columbus Dispatch<br />
was advertised as “The<br />
Big One Cent Dispatch.” (The<br />
daily price rose to three cents<br />
sometime after World War II.)<br />
Snowball battles often broke out<br />
in the courtyard when no one<br />
was watching. “In our first year,<br />
the seniors were going to ‘initiate’<br />
the freshmen, but they soon<br />
Dave W. Murnane ’40 with his grandsons. (See update on page 32)<br />
1940 graduate <strong>St</strong>anley Turel with his grandson, <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> freshman<br />
Brian O’Neil.<br />
found out that they were far<br />
outnumbered and beat a hasty<br />
retreat into the school. So we<br />
were finally accepted,” he said.<br />
“As juniors we were introduced<br />
to Greek as taught by Msgr.<br />
Wolz. He called our class the<br />
“Class of Giants.” At that time<br />
we did not realize that we would<br />
be part of the “Greatest generation”<br />
surviving the Depression<br />
and World War II, He also told<br />
us that at the start of World War<br />
II we thought Germany was our<br />
enemy, but that we’d find out<br />
that Communist Russia was in<br />
fact our greatest enemy.”<br />
Geiszler said that one phrase<br />
from Shakespeare helped him<br />
as time went by…”To thine own<br />
self be true and it must follow as<br />
the night that day that thou can<br />
not be false to any man.”<br />
Geiszler and his wife, Rose<br />
Mary, were married 57 years<br />
before her death in 1999. One<br />
of their children, William J. Jr. is<br />
a 1961 graduate of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>.<br />
Bill Sr. now boasts having 12<br />
great-grandchildren.<br />
1940 grad Turel<br />
recalls his WWII<br />
experience in<br />
Europe<br />
<strong>St</strong>anley M. Turel following high<br />
school, attended and graduated<br />
from the Cincinnati College<br />
of Mortuary Science. His apprenticeship<br />
was interrupted in<br />
February of 1942 when he was<br />
drafted into the U.S. military. After<br />
training in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky,<br />
he left for England in May<br />
and was assigned to the 8th Air<br />
Force as a medical airman.<br />
He participated in battles and<br />
campaigns throughout Europe,<br />
including Normandy, Northern<br />
France, and the Rhineland. He<br />
earned, among his many decorations<br />
and citations, six bronze<br />
stars and the Distinguished Unit<br />
Citation.<br />
Returning to the U.S. in 1947,<br />
Turel resumed work in the mortuary<br />
field. In 1957, he and his<br />
wife purchased a second-generation<br />
funeral home in Toronto,<br />
Ohio and operated it under the<br />
name Turel Funeral Home until<br />
his retirement in 1990.
Alumni Notes<br />
“I attribute my survival to<br />
the training I received at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong>.”<br />
Turel lives in <strong>St</strong>eubenville and<br />
celebrates 60 years of marriage<br />
with is wife, Mary, on June 9!<br />
They have two daughters and<br />
two grandchildren, including current<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> freshman Brian<br />
O’Neil. Turel’s brother, John,<br />
was a 1932 graduate of <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> College and ordained to<br />
the priesthood in 1936. Turel’s<br />
grandson, Brian O’Neil, recently<br />
completed his freshman year at<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>.<br />
Murnane helped<br />
train B-29 crews in<br />
World War II<br />
After graduating from <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong>, Dave W. Murnane<br />
developed an interest in department<br />
store retailing, but that<br />
was cut short by Pearl Harbor<br />
in 1941. He served three and a<br />
half years in the Army Air Corps<br />
in a training command which<br />
prepared crews who flew the<br />
famous B-29 bombers, which<br />
were a big part of the war effort<br />
in Europe and was used to drop<br />
the atomic bomb on Japan to<br />
end World War II.<br />
He and his wife, Teresa (nee<br />
Wetzel) were married in June of<br />
1945 by his former teacher, <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> faculty member Msgr<br />
Joseph Casey. His former classmate,<br />
then seminarian (and later,<br />
Bishop) George Fulcher ’40<br />
was his “best man.” After the<br />
war Murnane returned to department<br />
store retailing and held<br />
various executive positions. He<br />
worked in Columbus, Canton,<br />
Detroit, and finally, Philadelphia,<br />
where he retired.<br />
He and his wife have raised<br />
eight children who in turn raised<br />
48 great grandchildren, who<br />
are now raising 14 great-great<br />
grandchildren.<br />
His brother, Tim ’41, and cousin,<br />
Bob Meyers ’40, attended<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>, as have two of his<br />
grandsons: Joey ’92 and Ben<br />
Jones ’97. His wife died in 2004.<br />
He has two grandsons living<br />
with him who are engineering<br />
students at Drexel University in<br />
Philadelphia. Murnane credits<br />
them with keeping him young.<br />
He noted that he was a big fan of<br />
classical music. “I got the spark<br />
from Monsignor Cousins and<br />
his <strong>St</strong>agecrafters, and has been<br />
important to me all my life.”<br />
“My parents were instrumental<br />
in giving me a firm foundation<br />
in my faith. <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> was very<br />
important in my further development<br />
of that faith. In those days<br />
the whole faculty were priests<br />
and they were good holy men<br />
who gave us a good example.<br />
May they all rest in peace.<br />

Foose among oldest<br />
alumni<br />
Bernard “Bernie” Foose writes<br />
from Depew, <strong>New</strong> York that he<br />
hails from Bridgeport, Ohio and<br />
is one of the oldest living alumnus<br />
of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>. As of this<br />
writing, Leo J. Lukasko, Class<br />
of 1930 is still with us as is Monsignor<br />
Edward F. Spiers, Class<br />
of 1931.<br />
Foose met his wife during military<br />
service and they were married<br />
for 41 years. She passed<br />
away 20 years ago. He counts<br />
126 immediate family members,<br />
including grandchildren, spous-<br />
es, great grandchildren, and<br />
great-great grandchildren.<br />
He remains active in his parish<br />
as an extraordinary Eucharistic<br />
minister, works bingo and<br />
an occasional funeral Mass. It<br />
should be noted that Mr. Foose<br />
was kind enough to forward the<br />
school a personal check to the<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Scholarship Fund.<br />
In his letter to the Development<br />
& Alumni Office, he recounted<br />
his initiation into the Scorpion<br />
Club which was exclusive to <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> boarders.<br />
As Bernie tells it, the initiation<br />
included the “cutting of hair on<br />
one’s head and the smearing of<br />
limburger cheese on the head<br />
of the initiated...then it was off<br />
to chapel for evening prayers.<br />
Msgr. Joseph A.Weigand, (the<br />
school’s first rector), was waiting<br />
for us with such a grin -- like<br />
the cat who ate the canary.” Mr.<br />
Foose wonders if there are any<br />
Scorpion Club members out<br />
there and, if there are, he would<br />
love to hear from you. Bernie<br />

Road, Depew, NY 14043.<br />
Distinguished presentation<br />
Father W. Jared Wicks ’47, SJ, was guest speaker in February<br />
for the Catholic Records Society’s winter quarterly meeting at<br />
Westminster Thurber Community in Columbus. His presentation<br />
was entitled: “Professor Ratzinger at Vatican II: A Chapter in the<br />
Life of Pope Benedict XVI.” Among those attending were: back row<br />
from left -- Robert Leister, Francis Wallenfelsz, and Dr. Tony Lisska<br />
(Aquinas ’58); Middle – Fr. Jared Wicks SJ ’47, Louis V. Fabro ’49,<br />

(former Aquinas faculty member in residence at <strong>St</strong>. Patrick Church)<br />
and Father Peter M. Gideon ’67; Seated left -- Sister Margaret Hoffman,<br />
Julie McGhee, Helen Gugle, and Harry Erb (Aquinas ’49). In<br />
November <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> bestowed on Father Wicks the school’s highest<br />
honor: the Borromean Medal for Distinguished Achievement<br />
(see story, page 4).<br />
Dearly loved<br />
Monsignor Thomas M. Bennett was presented a specially-framed<br />
varsity “C” letter in front of the school’s entire student body,<br />
faculty, and staff in celebration of his Golden Jubilee. Monsignor’s<br />
only request was for principal Dominic J. Cavello ’64 (left) to grant<br />
the boys of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> the following day off. That date, May 25,<br />
marked the 50th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood in<br />
1957.<br />
Msgr. Bennett honored at Red<br />
Mass with Thomas More award<br />
Monsignor Thomas Bennett, in his 44th year<br />
as a <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> faculty member, was presented<br />
the Thomas More Award during the liturgy of<br />
the Red Mass May 1 at <strong>St</strong>. Joseph Cathedral.<br />
The recognition was to honor and thank him<br />
for his years of “exemplary efforts” in helping to<br />
promote the annual Mass for the legal community,<br />
according to the <strong>St</strong>. Thomas More Society’s<br />
president, Alphonse Cincione.<br />
Monsignor was also recognized in honor of his 50<br />
year Jubilee as a priest. He was ordained on May<br />
24, 1957.<br />
Cincione said that although Monsignor Bennett<br />
has no official affiliation with the legal community<br />
or the Society, he has been an “unsung hero… for<br />
promoting attendance (particularly among <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> students) with great results.”<br />
Marion Smithberger, a 1972 graduate<br />
and executive director of the Columbus Bar<br />
Foundation, was in attendance and said that the<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> seniors in attendance with Monsignor<br />
led a resounding standing ovation. “Monsignor<br />
Bennett had no idea, nor did the students, that<br />
he was going to receive this award. It was a total<br />
surprise,” he said.<br />

11 more honored for “ultimate sacrifice”<br />
A new bronze plaque was cast and fitted into the stone<br />
at the head of the Memorial Grove at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>. The<br />
updated plaque bears 11 additional names of Aquinas<br />
graduates not recognized on the original plate. Two<br />
anonymous Aquinas donors paid for the new plate.<br />
<strong>New</strong> memorial plaque<br />
honors 11 more who died<br />
in service<br />
A new bronze plaque adorns the three-ton<br />
granite boulder that’s a key segment of<br />
the campus memorial honoring graduates<br />
and former students of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
<strong>Preparatory</strong> <strong>School</strong> and the former<br />
Aquinas College High <strong>School</strong> who died in<br />
service to America from World War I to<br />
the present.<br />
Engraved on the new plaque are 51<br />
names – 16 from <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> and 35 from<br />
Aquinas. It includes one <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
graduate who died in the 9/11 terrorist<br />
attack nearly six years ago in <strong>New</strong> York<br />
City. <strong>New</strong>ly engraved on the new plaque<br />
are the names of 11 Aquinas alumni who<br />
had been overlooked earlier in school<br />
records.<br />
Aquinas graduates recognized on the<br />
new plaque and their classes are: Robert<br />
F. Finneran ’38; Edmund A. Flynn ’31;<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> W. Haas ’20; John T. Hayden ’32;<br />
Carl W. Lortz ’41; John D. McCormack<br />
’26; William J. Nagle ’38; John J.<br />
O’Callaghan ’41; Arthur J. Piper ’35;<br />
Patrick Timlin ’38; and Richard L. Vance<br />
’32.<br />
The search for the missing names was<br />
sparked by Father McAlister, O.P., a<br />
1952 graduate of Aquinas and assigned<br />
at Providence College. In late 2005 he<br />
discovered the names of other graduates<br />
who seemed to have been missed in the<br />
original search. Father McAlister passed<br />
on his information to Richard Schneider,<br />
a ’57 Aquinas graduate and vice president<br />
of the Aquinas College High <strong>School</strong><br />
Alumni Association.<br />
Schneider, who’s the father of two <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> graduates (Andrew A. ’82 and<br />
Daniel R. ’85), went to work to verify<br />
the information. He painstakingly<br />
researched each person and was able to<br />
validate the 11 additional names who are<br />
memorialized. Two anonymous Aquinas<br />
volunteer graduates paid for the recasting<br />
and plaque remounting.<br />
The research information obtained by<br />
Schneider for each of the 51 honored in<br />
the memorial is kept at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> in<br />
the Archive Suite located on the school’s<br />
fourth floor. The information includes<br />
each man’s branch of service, rank, date<br />
killed, and location of burial or name<br />
listing if lost at sea or missing in action.<br />
To honor <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> and Aquinas<br />
sons who died in service to America, <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> established and dedicated on May<br />
22, 2003 the present “Memorial Grove.”<br />
It features 40 crabapple trees, one for<br />
each of the originally known deceased<br />
when the memorial was dedicated. It’s<br />
prominently situated on the Broad <strong>St</strong>reet<br />
side of the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> campus between<br />
the west wing of the school building and<br />
the campus theatre. Unfortunately space<br />
limitations prevent planting more trees.<br />
This memorial is the third established<br />
by <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>. The first was created in<br />
1947 and was replaced in1994. That one<br />
was displaced by renovation work in 2002.<br />
Changing landscape:<br />
What are your memories?<br />
The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> campus lost a long-time<br />
neighbor in February when fire destroyed<br />
the building that was the home of the<br />
Old Bag of Nails Restaurant, which was<br />
previously known for many decades as<br />
the “Broad-Nel.” This eatery, just across<br />
Alum Creek from the school, had been a<br />
favorite gathering place for people of the<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> community for many decades.<br />
From its special vantage point just off<br />
the corner of Broad <strong>St</strong>reet and Nelson<br />
Road, the restaurant had a good view of<br />
many changes that took place in the local<br />
neighborhood during the years. Searches<br />
for the restaurant’s opening date were<br />
unsuccessful, although from one account,<br />
the building was constructed in 1924. If<br />
that were the case, it would have seen the<br />
construction of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> which began<br />
in July of 1924 and ended in the fall of<br />
1925.<br />
The Broad-Nel would have also seen the<br />
construction of the N&W railway’s train<br />
viaduct which was built over Broad <strong>St</strong>reet<br />
in the 1930s. Monsignor Edward Spiers<br />
’31, who was a College graduate and<br />
member of the faculty from 1935-1955,<br />
noted in a past interview that the old<br />
railway crossing at Broad <strong>St</strong>reet “was a<br />
favorite excuse for tardiness” by students<br />
who claimed to have been delayed by<br />
passing trains. The viaduct ended those<br />
excuses.<br />

Good-bye old friend<br />
The building that once housed the Broad-Nel Restaurant<br />
was destroyed by fire in February. The building’s<br />
owner who operates the Old Bag-Of- Nails Pub, said the<br />
old Broad-Nel had been the longest-running restaurant<br />
building in Columbus. Fire department officials said<br />
it appears someone started the fire, but it’s unknown<br />
whether it was intentionally set to do damage or for<br />
someone to keep warm and the fire got out of control.<br />

The restaurant saw <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> expand<br />
from its original two (school building and<br />
power house) buildings to the current<br />
configuration. It looked on as the Rosati’s<br />
Market building complex, which flourished<br />
for many decades and then stood<br />
empty for some years, was bulldozed and<br />
turned into an empty lot. It oversaw the<br />
rebuilding of the Broad <strong>St</strong>reet bridge over<br />
Alum Creek.<br />
Before being torn down, the restaurant’s<br />
remains stood for two weeks, while, just a<br />
stone’s throw away, workers began tearing<br />
down the old Clifton Avenue bridge<br />
south of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> in preparation for the<br />
construction of a larger and better connector.<br />
Buildings hold special memories for all<br />
of us -- from our childhood years to the<br />
schools we attended, and to the homes in<br />
which we raised our own families. And<br />
while buildings, like our bodies, eventually<br />
wear out over many decades, memories<br />
remain of so many happy, special events,<br />
experiences, and moments.<br />
It would be great to hear from members<br />
of the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> community about any<br />
memories those structures and places<br />
might hold for you? As a student, did<br />
you gather with fellow classmates at the<br />
Broad-Nel following a play, a ballgame, or<br />
any other activity? Did you meet up with<br />
friends there following a campus athletic<br />
event or take a date there for dinner<br />
before a school dance? Did you walk over<br />
to Rosati’s for a soda and candy between<br />
semester exams? Do you remember crossing<br />
the Clifton Ave. Bridge at the end of<br />
long training run or following grueling<br />
football practices at the nearby park?<br />
I’d like to share some of your memories<br />
with our readers in the Fall issue of the<br />
Cardinal magazine! E-mail me at lfabro@<br />

December 16, 2006 at the age of 91.<br />
Mrs. Brosmer was a past president of<br />
the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Mothers Club. She was<br />
a Catholic school teacher for many years<br />
and was the first lay principal of <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Catharine <strong>School</strong> in Bexley. She was also<br />
coordinator of women’s retreats at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Therese’s Shrine.<br />
’49 grad Eberts helped<br />
win metallic paint patents<br />
Robert E. “Bob” Eberts was one of several<br />
standout students in the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Class<br />
of 1949, which had 49 graduates. He<br />
had a distinguished career as a chemist<br />
in which he helped win for his company<br />
a half dozen or so patents developing<br />
metallic paints that became the rage some<br />
years ago in the automotive field. He<br />
also was involved in developing women’s<br />
cosmetics. He died February 5, 2007 at<br />
the age of 75.<br />
Among his standout subjects at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> was algebra, which for many<br />
students seemed like a dragon blocking<br />
passage to the next level. At least one<br />
student, and probably more, made it<br />
through thanks to Bob’s patient help<br />
in solving certain algebraic problems<br />
assigned for homework.<br />
Bob excelled in other subjects, too. On<br />
one occasion he and a classmate turned<br />
in perfect papers during a major test in<br />
ancient history. But Jack Ryan, who had<br />
recently returned to the classroom and<br />
coaching after World War II duty in the<br />
U.S. Coast Guard, posted a 99% grade<br />
for them. Relying on his Irish logic, Ryan<br />
explained to the class that he was certain<br />
that he could have asked a question that<br />
the two students couldn’t answer, but he<br />
didn’t for that particular test. Therefore,<br />
he reasoned, 99% was just.<br />
A graduate of the University of Dayton,<br />
Bob won a fellowship to Iowa <strong>St</strong>ate<br />
University where he earned a master’s<br />
degree and a Ph.D. in chemistry. His<br />
professional career included 25 years<br />
with the Mearl Corporation and 52 years<br />
as a member of the American Chemical<br />
Society. Most of his working career was<br />
spent in Massachusetts and <strong>New</strong> York<br />

<strong>St</strong>ate. He had retired to Cincinnati.<br />
Among his survivors are his wife,<br />
Louise, five children, seven grandchildren,<br />
a sister, and a brother, John L., Class<br />
of 1951. Mass of Christian burial was<br />
celebrated at <strong>St</strong>. Timothy Church in<br />
Columbus.<br />
Fr. Miller was graduate of<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> College<br />
Father Francis<br />
P. Miller was a<br />
1950 graduate<br />
of the former<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
Borromeo College<br />
where he earned<br />
a bachelor of<br />
arts degree. He<br />
served as a priest<br />
in the Columbus<br />
Father Francis Miller ’50 Diocese for 44<br />
years after his<br />
ordination in <strong>St</strong>. Joseph Cathedral in<br />
1954. He died on Good Friday, April 6.<br />
He was 78.<br />
Fr. Miller began his priestly career as<br />
associate pastor of <strong>St</strong>. Ladislas Parish and<br />
went to Dennison Immaculate Conception<br />
Parish in 1958 as associate pastor. His<br />
later pastoral assignments were at<br />
Dresden <strong>St</strong>. Ann, Dennison Immaculate<br />
Conception, LaRue <strong>St</strong>. Joseph, and<br />
Portsmouth Holy Redeemer. He served<br />
as administrator at Otway Our Lady of<br />
Lourdes, Mattingly Settlement and Wills<br />
Creek. He also served as chaplain at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Ann’s Hospital and associate pastor at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Paul in Westerville.<br />
Other assignments included teaching<br />
at Portsmouth Notre Dame High <strong>School</strong>,<br />
assistant principal at Columbus Wehrle<br />
High, vocations director for the Northern<br />
Deanery and assistant vocations director<br />
for the diocese. He retired in 1998.<br />
Funeral Mass for Father Miller was at<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Paul Church in Westerville and burial<br />
was at <strong>St</strong>. Joseph Cemetery.<br />
Msgr. Yontz, College grad,<br />
served parish 42 years<br />
Monsignor William C. Yontz, who earned<br />
his undergraduate degree from <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> College-Seminary in Columbus,<br />
served for 42 years as pastor of Holy<br />
Trinity Church in Byesville, a small<br />
town a few miles from Cambridge. A<br />
parish assignment of that length is most<br />
6<br />
uncommon, but Msgr. Yontz apparently<br />
was content to stay, even beyond his<br />
normal retirement age of 70.<br />
He died December 6 at Southeastern<br />
Ohio Regional Medical Center in<br />
Cambridge the day after he became ill<br />
after celebrating morning Mass at his<br />
parish church. He was 82.<br />
Msgr. Yontz completed his priestly<br />
studies in 1950 at Mt. <strong>St</strong>. Mary Seminary<br />
in Norwood and was ordained in May<br />
of that year. He served a variety of<br />
assignments before he was appointed in<br />
1964 as pastor of Holy Trinity Among his<br />
survivors is a younger brother, Monsignor<br />
George Yontz of <strong>St</strong>eubenville.<br />
Msgr. Kessler was graduate<br />
of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> College<br />
Monsignor Edward<br />
Kessler ’44<br />
Monsignor<br />
Edward L.<br />
Kessler was a<br />
1944 graduate<br />
of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
Borromeo College<br />
in Columbus<br />
where he earned<br />
a degree in<br />
philosophy.<br />
He went on to<br />
win a degree in<br />
theology from Mt<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Mary of the<br />
West in Norwood, Ohio, in 1948 and was<br />
ordained a priest that year in <strong>St</strong>. Joseph<br />
Cathedral by Bishop Michael J. Ready.<br />
Msgr. Kessler died February 7 at<br />
Hocking Valley Community Hospital in<br />
Logan, Ohio, the city where he was born<br />
91 years ago.<br />
Known by many as “Father Ed,” Msgr.<br />
Kessler had what is commonly called a<br />
“delayed vocation.” In a letter saved by<br />
his cousin, Father Jeff Rimelspach, pastor<br />
of <strong>St</strong>. Joan of Arc Parish, Kessler in 1967<br />
wrote to his parents that “…it was not<br />
until I was 25 and had been out of school<br />
for seven years that the nudging and<br />
promptings of the Holy Spirit forced me<br />
to take action” (to pursue a vocation in<br />
the priesthood). In that same letter, he<br />
noted that the first thoughts of becoming<br />
a priest came to him while in Catholic<br />
grade school.<br />
Msgr. Kessler began his priestly career<br />
in 1948 as an assistant pastor at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Francis Parish in Columbus, moved on in<br />
1951 to serve as an assistant at Sacred<br />
Heart in <strong>New</strong> Philadelphia, and then as<br />
an assistant at <strong>St</strong>. Peter in Chillicothe in<br />
1954. He was named pastor at <strong>St</strong>. Ann in<br />
Dresden in 1956 and served for 21 years<br />
starting in 1964 as pastor of <strong>St</strong>. Joseph<br />
Parish in Sugar Grove where he retired in<br />
1985.<br />
Bishop Frederick F. Campbell<br />
celebrated Msgr. Kessler’s funeral Mass<br />
at <strong>St</strong>. Joseph Church in Sugar Grove.<br />
Cummins was “hardest<br />
hitter,” Ryan said.<br />
John T. Cummins, known by legendary<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> football coach Jack Ryan as<br />
“his hardest hitter ever,” has died at the<br />
age of 77. Cummins, Class of 1947, was<br />
an officer<br />
in U.S. Army and served in the Korean<br />
War. He retired from Becton, Dickinson<br />
and Company in Maryland and also<br />
worked for Borden in Columbus, Ohio and<br />
Johnson & Johnson. Cummins, a member<br />
of <strong>St</strong>. Brendan Church in Hilliard, is<br />
survived by his wife of 56 years, Marjorie;<br />
children, John P. (Diana) of Chicago,<br />
Ill., James H. (Nicole) of Atlanta, Ga.,<br />

who wish may contribute in his memory<br />
to <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> <strong>Preparatory</strong> <strong>School</strong>, 2010 E.<br />
Broad <strong>St</strong>., Columbus, OH 43209.<br />
Cummins’ nephew, Mike Curtin, a<br />
graduate of Bishop Watterson High<br />
<strong>School</strong>, said his Uncle John was a proud<br />
alum of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>. “What we nephews<br />
were most proud of was a comment made<br />
by Coach Jack Ryan; he once said that of<br />
all the football players he coached at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> and Hartley, no one hit<br />
harder than John Cummins.”<br />

Development Update<br />
Legacy of service recalled<br />
This June marks<br />
my fifth full year<br />
heading up the<br />
Development &<br />
Alumni Office at<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>. Our<br />
little staff of three<br />
– myself, Louis<br />
Fabro, and Cherri<br />
Taynor – occupies<br />
the former living<br />
quarters and work<br />
Douglas H. <strong>St</strong>ein ’78<br />
space of the Sisters<br />
of Saint Francis of<br />
Penance & Christian Charity, who served<br />
the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> faculty, college students<br />
and seminarians, and prep school<br />
students from 1925 to 1976.<br />
When I was a student here in the mid-<br />
1970s, this area that we now call the<br />
Development Office was totally off limits<br />
to students. During my sophomore year,<br />
the sisters were called back with little<br />
fanfare to their Motherhouse in <strong>St</strong>ella<br />
Niagara, <strong>New</strong> York. What remains are<br />
the sisters’ residence rooms, a kitchenette,<br />
a small bathroom (that we renovated a<br />
couple years ago), and the “Nuns’ Chapel”<br />
on the third level directly above our suite<br />
of offices and across the hall from Holy<br />
Angels Library.<br />
I recall these sisters because of their<br />
legacy of service to mankind and <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> that begs to be emulated.<br />
The sisters’ order mandated them<br />
to “Christian Charity.” While those<br />
two words together are easily enough<br />
pronounced, putting those words into<br />
action is another story altogether. Many<br />
wonderful people – over a thousand in fact<br />
– found a way to do something charitable<br />
for <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> throughout this past year.<br />
We who occupy what I regard as hallowed<br />
ground devote part of every day to work<br />
just a little harder for <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> because<br />
it might be pleasing to those who occupied<br />
this space before us.<br />
As the curtain falls on the current<br />
academic calendar, I want you to know<br />
how good it makes everyone at SC feel<br />
that we have a network of supporters<br />
whose constant love and care for <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> is a cut above the rest. No one<br />
here will ever tire of SC moms and dads<br />
who drop what they do at home (and<br />
sometimes the corporate office!) to be here<br />
at 2010 to serve a hot meal, clean up the<br />
steam table, and wipe down the tables in<br />
the Commons.<br />
The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education<br />
For six weeks this past spring there<br />
also were many SC dads whose schedules<br />
were flexible enough that they helped<br />
us build a remarkable new athletic field.<br />
And that work will continue well into the<br />
summer months. You know who you are<br />
and SC salutes you. To the hundreds of<br />
alumni who opened their checkbooks so<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> kids who need some tuition<br />
money could reach that bar – “thank you.”<br />
You know who you are. We need to be<br />
grateful that the job not only was done,<br />
but was done The Saint <strong>Charles</strong> Way.<br />

Walt Plank <strong>Field</strong> honors Columbus<br />
legend<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
principal Dominic<br />
J. Cavello has<br />
announced the<br />
school’s new<br />
athletic field, which<br />
promises to be one<br />
of the finest in<br />
Central Ohio, has<br />
been named “Walt<br />
Walter H. Plank ’41<br />
Plank <strong>Field</strong>” in<br />
honor of the late<br />
great Walt Plank, a member of the Class<br />
of 1941 and one of Columbus’s truly great<br />
sportsmen.<br />
“The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> community is excited<br />
about the new opportunities this field will<br />
create here for the students, both present<br />
and future; we expect all will aspire to<br />
Walt’s sportsmanship and love of the<br />
game,” Cavello said.<br />
“We hope our students will gain fresh<br />
appreciation of Walt’s care and concern<br />
for his fellow man, and for his love of<br />
alma mater,” Cavello said. “Walt paid<br />
forward countless times and that is<br />
why <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> is proud to promote<br />
his wonderful legacy. His story is one of<br />
which all of us can be proud,” he said.<br />
As this magazine went to press,<br />
installation of the new field and the two<br />
new dugouts and storage units were<br />
complete, and fencing was being installed.<br />
Later this summer, construction on<br />
the new stadium entryway will begin.<br />
A ribbon cutting ceremony for the new<br />
athletic field will take place later in the<br />
year and alumni, parents and friends will<br />
be invited.<br />
Sports star<br />
Walter Plank ’41 was an outstanding athlete who<br />
captained both the basketball and baseball team his<br />
senior year. His senior year Plank played shortstop and<br />
led the <strong>Cardinals</strong> that year with a blistering .480 batting<br />
average.<br />
<strong>New</strong> athletic field takes shape<br />
Several <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> advocates generously<br />
provided the planning and labor for<br />
the new athletic field and stadium<br />
improvements. Early in the planning<br />
stages, Dominic Cavello and Jim<br />
Lower called upon Hank Sherowski<br />
for help, father of 1991 S.C. graduate<br />
<strong>St</strong>eve Sherowski. For Hank this was<br />
his second field installation project at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong>; he also was heavily involved in<br />
construction of the first multi-sport field<br />
in 1994.<br />
Site preparation of Walt Plank <strong>Field</strong><br />
was performed by Team Savko, formally<br />
known as Nick Savko & Sons, led by<br />
brothers <strong>St</strong>eve and Marty Savko. The<br />
Savko work crew of bulldozers, backhoes,<br />
graders, and steamrollers was supervised<br />
by 1979 <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> alumnus Ralph<br />
Polletta, who spent many hours working<br />
on <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> expansion projects as a<br />
student and as an employee of his father<br />
when the school’s original Walk of Honor<br />
was installed in the early 1990s. Also<br />
giving a major assist to the project was<br />
Savko veteran planner, Ed Carlson,<br />
who worked on planning and zoning<br />
documents.<br />

Parents Fund hits $1.1 million in<br />
gifts & pledges for field<br />
Parents on our 2006-07 Parents Fund<br />
Committee secured necessary funding<br />
-- $1.1 million to date -- in gifts and<br />
pledges for Walt Plank <strong>Field</strong>. Committee<br />
members reached out to more than<br />
250 contributors -- mostly <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
parents -- and achieved their goal in three<br />
months.<br />
A special recognition goes to our <strong>Turf</strong><br />

Butler; Doug and Beth Byorth;<br />
Robert Griffith and Pat McJoynt-<br />

and Laurie Palmer; and Kevin and<br />
Marie Quinn.<br />
According to dean of students Jim<br />
Lower, “Each and every student at <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> will benefit from this new field.”<br />
“The field will be used by every <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> student as it will be used as a<br />
playing surface for the school’s year-round<br />
physical education program and our four<br />
field sport teams,” Lower said.<br />
“Walt Plank <strong>Field</strong> is a home field<br />
advantage that every student, parent and<br />
alumnus can be proud of,” he added.<br />
<strong>St</strong>adium entrance and plaza<br />
named<br />
The stadium’s new front entryway will be<br />
named The Sean Reed Plaza to honor<br />
the memory of 2002 <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> alumnus<br />
Sean P. Reed. Sean’s parents, Paula Jo<br />
(“P.J.”) and Gary Reed, are <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
football program volunteers and remain<br />
closely associated with the school. <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> acknowledges their generous gift<br />
to name the plaza. Sean was a member<br />
of the football <strong>Cardinals</strong> during his four<br />
years at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>.<br />

total of $283,000 was designated to new<br />
or existing scholarship endowments.<br />
For the first time since its founding in<br />
1988, the school’s annual Cardinal Walk<br />
for Scholarships appeal was conducted<br />
with alumni support. Members of the <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> <strong>St</strong>udent Council led this effort in<br />
March and April and netted over $10,000<br />
in additional support. Alumni receiving a<br />
phone call received follow-up pledge cards<br />
in the mail.<br />
Next year our alumni and parents can<br />
expect a re-designed <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Giving<br />
Page on the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Website. A very<br />
special thank you goes to alumni Matt<br />
Weger ’89 and Neal Roberts ’85 for<br />
lending their expertise to update our<br />
Website and this “GIVETOSC” charitablegiving<br />
page.<br />
S.C. Class endowment update<br />
As part of the school’s very popular<br />
Alumni Reunion program, three new<br />
scholarship endowments have been<br />
signed into “permanent residence” with<br />
the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Endowment. The school<br />
recognizes The Class of 1976 Endowment;<br />
The Class of 1981 Endowment; and The<br />
Class of 1986 Endowment.<br />
Black Catholic ministries<br />
scholarship<br />
Black Catholic Ministries of Columbus<br />
has initiated a renewable four-year<br />
scholarship to an African-American<br />
attending <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>. This scholarship<br />
is open to both Catholic and non-Catholic<br />
applicants who will be in the freshman<br />
class entering in 2007.<br />
A graduate of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> who wishes<br />
to remain anonymous is funding this<br />
scholarship. The donor is committed<br />
to the education of African-American<br />
males. Guidelines for the scholarship<br />
were developed by Mrs. Gabriella<br />
Holland, the mother of a <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
graduate, with input from the <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> administration. Mrs. Holland is<br />
a member of the executive board of the<br />
BCMC.<br />

every March 30 and each year’s recipient<br />
will be notified by May 1.<br />
Charitable gifts from your<br />
retirement account<br />
Attention <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> alumni age 70<br />
½ and older: if you are planning your<br />
charitable gifts for the remainder of<br />
this calendar year and next year, you<br />
need to be aware of a new law known<br />
as the Pension Protection Act of 2006.<br />
This new Act encourages financial<br />
support of charitable organizations,<br />
including institutions such as <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
<strong>Preparatory</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Under the law, you<br />
can make a gift to Saint <strong>Charles</strong> using<br />
funds from your individual retirement<br />
account (IRA) without undesirable tax<br />
effects. (For detailed information on these<br />
benefits, please consult your tax advisor.)<br />
Previously, donors were required to<br />
report any funds taken from an IRA as<br />
taxable income. Afterward they would<br />
take a charitable deduction for that<br />
IRA-funded gift but the deductions were<br />
limited to only 50% of their adjusted gross<br />
income. In effect, this caused some donors<br />
to pay more in income taxes than if they<br />
didn’t make a gift at all. Fortunately,<br />
now these IRA gifts can be accomplished<br />
simply and without tax complications.<br />
Please contact your tax advisor and see<br />
if this new Act would be a tax-wise way<br />
for you to continue your support of <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong>.<br />
Seniors Brennan McGill, Phil Migitz, and Charlie Vonderahe<br />
work the phones seeking alumni participation in<br />
this year’s Cardinal Scholarship Walk.<br />
In Our Next Issue…<br />
At the beginning of the The Campaign for<br />
Saint <strong>Charles</strong>, our Development Office set<br />
a 10-year goal for each graduating class<br />
to have at least a 50% alumni-donor rate.<br />
During the seven years of this campaign,<br />
the rate of alumni charitable giving to<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> has reached an all-time high.<br />
When our campaign comes to a close next<br />
June the school wants to come as close to<br />
getting our classes pushed over the 50%<br />
mark. In our fall issue of “the Cardinal”<br />
we will publish a complete roster of all SC<br />
alumni who have made gifts during their<br />
lifetime. A corresponding percentage rate<br />
also will be calculated. The graduating<br />
class with the highest percentage of<br />
donors will receive a complimentary “<strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> <strong>Cardinals</strong>” tee shirt – just like<br />
the one many of us wore in gym class!<br />
When our Alumni Annual Fund calls on<br />
you this fall, please encourage your fellow<br />
classmates to support SC!<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> <strong>Preparatory</strong> <strong>School</strong>
In May Jeff Kuzma ’83 honored Monsignor Bennett with<br />
this engraved limestone bench.<br />
Monsignor Bennett Courtyard<br />
Limestone Benches<br />
As part of the ongoing fundraising for<br />
The Campaign for Saint <strong>Charles</strong> and the<br />
Monsignor Thomas M. Bennett Courtyard,<br />
alumni and parents can dedicate one of<br />
10 limestone benches. Father Bennett<br />
recently celebrated his Golden Jubilee of<br />
his ordination to the priesthood (May 25,<br />
1957). Benches are $5,000 each and may<br />
be paid over three years. Benches are 48<br />
inches across (which is the seat and the<br />
engraveable surface), 16 inches deep, and<br />
20 inches from the ground. These benches<br />
are available on a first-available basis, so<br />
please call the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Development<br />
Office at (614) 252-9288 for additional<br />
details.<br />
Colonnade Column Tributes for <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> Families<br />
Sixteen brick and stone columns make<br />
up the impressive new west colonnades,<br />
which are located outside the Walter<br />
<strong>St</strong>udent Commons. Alumni and <strong>St</strong>.<br />
<strong>Charles</strong> families will be recognized with<br />
a 4-inch by 8-inch bronze plate that will<br />
contain the name(s) of the benefactor’s<br />
choosing. Each column can be dedicated<br />
with a gift of $10,000 and can be paid<br />
over a 5-year period. These tributes are<br />
available on a first-available basis. Please<br />
call the Development Office at (614) 252-<br />
9288 for additional details.<br />
A bronze plate bearing the names of the Vetter family<br />
members is attached to the collonade.<br />
The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education<br />
<strong>New</strong> Online Giving Page Almost<br />
Ready<br />
SC alumni, parents, and longtime friends<br />
of the school will soon be able to dial<br />
up the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> Webpage at: www.<br />
STCHARLESPREP.ORG and find a new<br />
secure online giving page. Please give us<br />
a few months to get our design together.<br />
We appreciate the support and the 20% of<br />
our students in need of tuition assistance<br />
wouldn’t be here without you.<br />
SC Merchandise Page Planned on<br />
Website<br />
The question is often asked, “Where can<br />
I get one of those….?” By the end of the<br />
summer, “One of those,” could be on the<br />
new SC merchandise page. <strong>St</strong>ay tuned<br />
to online announcements and read your<br />
SC emails that are periodically sent to all<br />
alumni and parents (past and present)<br />
with registered email addresses.<br />
One Tribute Inside Commons<br />
Remains Available<br />
The remaining crest inside the Walter<br />
<strong>St</strong>udent Commons is available for<br />
$25,000 payable over a 5-year period.<br />
Alumni and <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> families will be<br />
recognized with a 4-inch by 8-inch bronze<br />
plate that will contain the name(s) of the<br />
benefactor’s choosing.<br />
Final <strong>St</strong>one Panel Tribute<br />
One of the wonderful attributes of the Walter <strong>St</strong>udent<br />
Commons and the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> <strong>St</strong>udent Services & Fine<br />
Arts Center is the legacy preservation in the stone and<br />
glass panels honoring <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> alumni, faculty, parents<br />
and family members. One remaining <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
stone crest is available for a $25,000 contribution,<br />
which can be individual pledge or pooled as a group.<br />
This would be an ideal way to recognize an SC family,<br />
graduating class, or member of the faculty. If you or<br />
a group are interested in making a pledge (5 years<br />
max.), send an e-mail to the following: givetosc@stcharlesprep.org<br />
; 100% of the proceeds will be applied<br />
to the construction costs of the new buildings.<br />

Catholic Foundation meeting dignitaries<br />
The Robert C. Walter <strong>St</strong>udent Commons was the setting<br />
for the Catholic Foundation’s annual meeting at which<br />
Bishop Thomas Rodi (second from right) of Biloxi,<br />
Mississippi was the featured speaker. He described<br />
the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina and the<br />
strength of the Catholic community in coping with<br />
the storm’s destruction. The Foundation donated the<br />
proceeds of the event, $10,000, to helping parishes<br />
and schools in Bishop Rodi’s Biloxi Diocese. Others<br />

<strong>Turf</strong> <strong>Field</strong> Project<br />

Savko, with <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> principal Dominic J. Cavello<br />
’64 and Savko project manager, 1979 graduate Ralph<br />
Polletta, in the early stages of the project.<br />
In early April, after leveling out the ground, a sheet of<br />
drain felt and drainage pipes were put down across the<br />
entire field. That was then covered in a layer of crushed<br />
limestone.<br />
In a view from the main building’s northeast roof, workers<br />
are seen laying the very first strips of synthetic turf<br />
for Walt Plank <strong>Field</strong>.<br />
A lonely bulldozer scrapes off the top layer of grass<br />
and dirt off the athletic field in preparation for laying a<br />
drainage system and gravel in late March.<br />
In early May workers near completion of the tin roof on<br />
the baseball field’s visitors dugout. The green roofing<br />
will match that of the main school building, Mother of<br />
Mercy Chapel and other campus structures.<br />
In a view from the stadium press box, the red base<br />
path and green infield turfs intersect with the green<br />
football field turf. A thin circular strip has been cut out<br />
of the center of the field in which a yellow stripe will be<br />
inserted for use in soccer and lacrosse games.<br />
(photo left) Phase I of the <strong>Turf</strong> <strong>Field</strong> Project came to<br />
a close with the insertion of the “SC” block letters<br />
into the middle of the Sprinturf-installed field and the<br />
spreading of infill (crambiant rubber made of recycled<br />
tires) between the turf’s synthetic blades to provide<br />
special cushioning. Phase II, the construction of a<br />
limestone and brick entryway and the Sean Reed Plaza,<br />
is set to begin in early summer and finish up before the<br />
start of school.<br />
(photo right) Just one day after the installation of Walt<br />
Plank <strong>Field</strong>’s turf was completed, the new surface<br />
got a stern test. As part of the school’s annual Circus<br />
Day activities, the students used the field for games<br />
of softball, baseball, lacrosse, and even for lounging<br />
around in the warm sun.<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> development director Douglas H. <strong>St</strong>ein ’78<br />

entire field complex. Also on hand are Savko company<br />
project manager Ralph Polletta ’79 and <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong><br />
varsity baseball coach, Ray Benjamin ’91.<br />
The home dugout and the baseball field’s brick wall<br />
fence posts await completion. Meanwhile, pieces of cut<br />
limestone await the summer months when they will become<br />
part of The Sean Reed Plaza, the athletic stadium<br />
complex’s new front entryway.<br />

surface the second week in May.<br />

Summertime is most definitely here<br />
for the young <strong>Cardinals</strong> of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong>!<br />
They’ve spent the last four months in the<br />
classroom daydreaming about running,<br />
hitting, sliding, blocking, scoring goals,<br />
hard tackles, shootouts, winning base<br />
hits, fly patterns and storming the field<br />
as Walt Plank <strong>Field</strong> took shape. Those<br />
dreams of athletic prowess are a lot closer<br />
to reality thanks to the S.C. leadership<br />
team of Dominic J. Cavello ’64 and Jim<br />
Lower who called in the “pros” to ensure<br />
all of those glorious scenarios could unfold.<br />

Savko, and their work crew supervised by<br />

With that said, the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> student<br />
body extends a big “Thank You” to all of<br />
the work crews who labored laying the<br />
foundation and getting the grade “just<br />
right” for the new turf, our terrific Parents<br />
Fund Committee and Tom O’Leary<br />
’64 who worked tirelessly asking for<br />
financial support, and our very generous<br />
parents and alumni who are there to support<br />
S.C. when a special project like this<br />
needs a boost.<br />
All of your sacrifice and kindness helps<br />
make <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Charles</strong> <strong>Preparatory</strong> <strong>School</strong> very<br />
special.<br />
