From The Hip!<br />

One does not appreciate the complexity of the English language until they begin<br />

teaching a five-year old to read. I didn’t realize how difficult it was to explain<br />

how two words that sound the same can be spelled differently. Not to mention,<br />

how a word can have more than one meaning. A.J. and I recently encountered<br />

one such word in the pages of Dr. Seuss.<br />

char·ac·ter (krk-tr) n.[ME. carecter < OFr. caractere < L. character, an engraving instrument<br />

< Gr. charattein, to engrave] 1. the combination of qualities or features that distinguishes one person,<br />

group, or thing from another 2. moral or ethical strength 3. a) notable or well-known person b) person,<br />

especially one who is peculiar or eccentric 4. a) person portrayed in an artistic piece, such as a drama<br />

or novel b) characterization in fiction or drama 5. mark or symbol used in a writing system.<br />

In September, Bob Peffle joined the faculty of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />

No stranger to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, having been the Varsity Soccer Coach for the last<br />

twenty-one years and being the father of two <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> alums, Bob came to work<br />

“full-time” after thirty-four years as a teacher and coach in the Philadelphia<br />

<strong>School</strong> District. Instead of retiring from education, Bob chose to bring his skills<br />

and experience to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and, by doing so, instantly brought respect and<br />

character to the classrooms and hallways where he roams. He joins the ranks<br />

of countless other faculty members who do the same: Joe Ciccimaro ’57,<br />

Joe Colistra ’64, Joe D’Angelo ’63, Pat Devine, Julia Maher, Mary Kay Mullen,<br />

and Mary Jo Smith – men and women whose character is matched only by their<br />

knowledge, professionalism, and ability to teach boys in a manner that would<br />

make our Founder (St. John Baptist de <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>) proud.<br />

Likewise at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> are true characters – individuals whose unique style far<br />

exceeds the boundaries of an educator: Lew Clark, Jerry Evans, Marty Jackson,<br />

Diana Kelly McInaw, Frank Lichtner, Joe Parisi, and Pete Sigmund ’85 are but<br />

a few of our teachers who continue to distinguish themselves on a daily basis<br />

and have earned the respect of students and peers alike. All of these men and<br />

women comprise a group known as <strong>La</strong>sallian educators and help to make <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> an institution of growth and diversity. Fortunately, I don’t<br />

need Webster’s New World Dictionary to define the word “character” because<br />

I work at a school that abounds with living examples.<br />

In The Beginning<br />

by Eric C. Stone ’11<br />

In the beginning, I saw a tower slowly appearing on the hill. In the beginning,<br />

I saw the emblem that represents love and learning. In the beginning, I saw my<br />

intellectual and spiritual home for the next four years. In the beginning, I saw<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.<br />

I first saw <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> when I went to summer camp. I was only seven years old,<br />

but I loved everything about it. The teachers and counselors were fun to be<br />

around. I knew then that I wanted to attend <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.<br />

Orientation day was an experience that truly welcomed us to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>. When I got<br />

out of the car, I was greeted by warm “hellos“. Mr. Marchese and Brother Richard<br />

took a picture with me, while a cheerful Brother James stood behind the camera.<br />

The band welcomed us with songs, while the ladies in the Main Office greeted<br />

us with smiles. In homeroom, we were all awaiting our instructions so we could<br />

start as soon as possible. After taking a tour of the campus and getting our<br />

ID photo, we made our way into the auditorium for a liturgy and some welcome<br />

speeches. All of the administrators who spoke gave a clear message of what the<br />

true <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Gentleman was supposed to be. It was truly inspiring and gave us<br />

the energy to learn the Alma Mater from Mr. C (Joe Ciccimaro). After a couple of<br />

tries, we finally achieved the volume that he was hoping us to reach. After that,<br />

we went outside to plant our class tree. It was a long walk, but it was worth the<br />

symbolism that gave all of the points mentioned by the speakers an image. As<br />

Orientation Day came to an end, it gave the entire freshman class hope for the<br />

first day of classes. So, we, too, can grow into a true <strong>La</strong>sallian.<br />

As I come to a close, I’d like to think that my journey up that hill has just<br />

begun. As I understand more and more what a true <strong>La</strong>sallian is like, I take<br />

one more step up that hill. Right now, I see the great reward ahead of me,<br />

the distinguished, proverbial tower that is achieving all that makes you a<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Gentlemen.<br />

The first day of school on Tuesday, September 4, 2007 welcomed 265 members of the Class of 20 including<br />

New Rowing Coach<br />

Christopher J. Doyle ’69 was hired in September as the Head Coach of Rowing.<br />

Chris was a three-year varsity letterman and a Scholastic National Champion<br />

while at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>. He is extremely active on the Masters rowing circuit, and has<br />

won dozens of Masters National Championship medals, including captain of the<br />

winning quad in the age 50+ category at last year’s FISA World Masters Regatta.<br />

Chris has been living in the New York City metro area for the past sixteen years,<br />

where he was an executive with Mercedes-Benz USA. He was a Trustee of Nereid<br />

Boat Club, and the Director of Rowing Programs, in which he supervised five high<br />

school programs. He was the Varsity Crew Coach at Ridgewood <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> and<br />

is now an active member of Whitemarsh Boat Club in Conshohocken, PA.<br />

Back On Top Of The Leader Board<br />

After going undefeated through the league schedule, the Golf Team captured<br />

their eleventh Philadelphia Catholic League Championship in the last thirteen<br />

years on Monday, October 1, 2007 at Center Square Golf Club. The Explorer’s<br />

team total of 456 was 34 strokes better than second place Monsignor Bonner.<br />

The victory was a redemption of sorts for the Explorers who lost by two strokes<br />

in last year’s championship. In addition to the team title, all eight members of the<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> team gained All-Catholic honors, including junior Kevin Genuardi who<br />

shot a 3-under par 68 and finished in first place.<br />

Cross Country Wins Fifth Consecutive Championship<br />

Under the guidance of first-year coach Greg Bielecki ’99, the Cross Country team<br />

captured their fifth consecutive Philadelphia Catholic League Championship on<br />

Saturday, October 27, 2007 at a muddy Belmont Plateau. The Explorers had five<br />

runners finish in the top fifteen and were led by Dan Lowry who finished first<br />

overall. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> swept all three championships by winning the Junior Varsity and<br />

Freshman races.<br />

To Appalachia and Back<br />

From June 9-15, 2007, fifteen students, along with Tom Devlin ’00 and Lew Clark,<br />

immersed themselves in the culture, labor, and environment of Eastern Kentucky.<br />

The team’s mission was to work on repairing and building homes for impoverished<br />

families in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity in Phelps, KY.<br />

Building Bridges of Solidarity<br />

Once again, a group of young Explorers headed to South America in an effort<br />

to spread the <strong>La</strong>sallian spirit in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The boys helped to build<br />

schools, spent time with children and burn victims at a a public hospital, and provided<br />

food and clothing to those in need. Donations of food, clothing, and supplies<br />

were collected by the group, transported to Bolivia, and donated to public<br />

clinics, orphanages, and the villages of Vila-Vila, Zorochi, and Pirhuas.<br />

Freshman and Fathers Branch-Out<br />

On October 16, 2007 the entire Freshman Class, almost 200 fathers, and over<br />

twenty faculty/staff members traveled to twenty-two different service sites in<br />

the Philadelphia area for Freshman Branch-Out Day. The theme for the day was<br />

beginning the <strong>La</strong>sallian journey of faith, service, and community. All told, the<br />

volunteers contributed over 1,600 hours of service to the organizations which<br />

included Catholic grade schools, food banks, nursing homes, and salvation army<br />

centers.

of time trying to reconnect with New York alumni. Even though the<br />

Big Apple is only two hours away from Wyndmoor, few alumni travel<br />

back for traditional alumni events. The solution? Take <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> to<br />

New York!<br />

After hosting a few Alumni receptions in Manhattan, a few committed<br />

alumni raised their hands to our request to organize a formal New<br />

York Roundtable. The purpose of the Roundtable is to provide a<br />

forum for sharing important developments at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and to serve as<br />

a catalyst to help plan future New York-based events. In many ways,<br />

they are serving as an extension of our Board of Trustees as they<br />

channel ideas and suggestions back to the Board for consideration.<br />

Pete Scola ’92, Managing Director at Wachovia Securities, who<br />

volunteered to serve as the group’s chair, hosted the first New York<br />

City Roundtable in November of 2006. Since that inaugural event,<br />

the group has met three subsequent times during 2007. From an<br />

outsider’s vantage, it has been interesting to hear the personal stories<br />

– where they came from, what a <strong>La</strong>sallian education meant to them,<br />

how <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> impacted their professional lives, what they would like to<br />

see for <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s future. Everyone has a different story, yet all of them<br />

feel a strong sense of connection because of their experience<br />

at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>. The camaraderie among the group, even though they may<br />

be generations apart and their professions as different as their<br />

backgrounds, is pretty extraordinary. As each meeting comes to a<br />

close, a new member of the group volunteers to host the next<br />

gathering – a true indication that they enjoy each other’s company<br />

and their Wyndmoor visitors.<br />

By Gail A Evans, CFRE<br />

The social connection is only one aspect of this group. They are<br />

adamant that their mission extend beyond the social connection and<br />

have taken on the task of defining objectives that will ultimately<br />

benefit <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and its student population.<br />

Two such projects include: . a field trip for <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> students<br />

to visit New York as a way to promote the region as a strategically<br />

advantageous area for students to continue their education and,<br />

eventually, their careers and 2. a mid-winter reception with a keynote<br />

speaker. Both events are being scheduled for the spring of 2008. If the<br />

enthusiasm and commitment of our New York alums are any indication<br />

of the level of success these events will bring, they will surely surpass<br />

our expectations.<br />

If you live or work in the New York region and would like<br />

to learn more about the New York Regional Roundtable<br />

or the events they are planning, please call the Office of<br />

Institutional Advancement at (2 5) 233-2350. Since <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

is hoping to duplicate these efforts in other regions around<br />

the country, we would welcome hearing from you should<br />

you have an interest in leading up a similar effort.

Brotherly Love<br />

by Walter L. Updegrave ’70<br />

Editor, Money Magazine<br />

Mike McCarthy, Class of 1965, knows what it’s like<br />

to reach the pinnacle of business success in a city<br />

that’s renowned for setting the bar high—New York,<br />

New York.<br />

He spent twenty-one years of his career at Goldman Sachs, arguably the<br />

most prestigious investment bank on the planet, eventually becoming a partner<br />

and heading the firm’s municipal bond group, where he worked alongside<br />

such luminaries as Robert Rubin, who would go on to become Secretary of the<br />

U.S. Treasury, and Jon Corzine, now the Governor of New Jersey.


David McCarthy ’66<br />

8 Explorer Autumn 2007<br />

Brotherly Love<br />

Continued<br />

But even as his post-<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> journey took him from the leafy campus<br />

of Princeton University to the halls of the Harvard Business <strong>School</strong><br />

to Goldman’s offices in the steel-and-glass canyons of Wall Street,<br />

McCarthy never forgot the key role that <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> played in his success.<br />

“I felt indebted to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> from the beginning because I received a<br />

scholarship,” says McCarthy. “It’s clear to me that <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> led to<br />

Princeton, which led to Harvard, which led to Goldman. And I would<br />

never have gone to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> if I hadn’t gotten that scholarship.”<br />

McCarthy has repaid <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s largesse many times over in service<br />

to the school’s community. He served on <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s Board of Trustees<br />

from 1994 through 2002, a period during which he and his fellow<br />

board members concentrated much of their effort on helping <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

achieve its mission of providing a top-notch education while trying<br />

to give students from families of more limited means access to that<br />

education. He was also a co-chairman of the “Forever <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>” capital<br />

campaign that between 1998 and 2002 raised some $10 million,<br />

money that has helped provide financial aid, expand athletic and music<br />

facilities and boost support for the <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Annual fund. In recognition<br />

of his service, McCarthy was inducted into <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s Alumni Hall<br />

of Fame in 2004.<br />

“I was a year and half older and a class<br />

ahead of him, but David wasn’t going to<br />

live under my shadow at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.”<br />

Mike McCarthy ’65<br />

But the project that has personally meant the most to him is the<br />

scholarship fund that he, his family and friends established in 1999<br />

in memory of his brother David McCarthy, Class of ’66. Although the<br />

brothers shared an interest in athletics—both played football and<br />

rowed for <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>—McCarthy remembers his younger brother<br />

as having the feistier personality of the two. “He was more willing to<br />

take risks and engage in pranks, things like setting off the school’s<br />

fire alarms one day,” says McCarthy. “I was a year and half older and<br />

a class ahead of him, but David wasn’t going to live under my<br />

shadow at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.”<br />

When David died at age 50, after a long struggle with multiple<br />

sclerosis, McCarthy felt that a fund providing tuition assistance to<br />

needy students would be a fitting way to honor his brother. Says<br />

McCarthy, “I’m sure he would have said this was a great idea,<br />

helping kids who can’t afford a <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> education on their own.”<br />

Although <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> has been a major beneficiary of McCarthy’s<br />

philanthropy over the years, it’s hardly been his sole focus. You could<br />

even say that public service in the broadest sense has been an<br />

underlying theme throughout his career.<br />

As a freshly minted MBA out of Harvard Business <strong>School</strong> in the early<br />

’70s, McCarthy did consulting work for then California governor<br />

Jerry Brown that laid the groundwork for legislation that created<br />

the California Housing Finance Agency. Over the past 30 years, that<br />

agency has helped finance affordable homes for renters and first-time<br />

homebuyers who might otherwise be shut out of the state’s<br />

high-cost housing market.<br />

And as he was winding down his career at Goldman, McCarthy<br />

used his position as chairman of an industry trade group to set up<br />

The Bond Market Foundation, a nonprofit that seeks to improve<br />

the financial literacy of individual investors. He still serves as chairman<br />

of the foundation, overseeing a variety of educational efforts including<br />

Tomorrowsmoney.org, a website that provides material on everything<br />

from budgeting to investing to managing credit.<br />

McCarthy has also made forays into the cultural front. In 2000,<br />

he started the Eureka Foundation, a nonprofit that funds educational<br />

programming for television and other media. He then turned to<br />

producer and <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> classmate Marc Doyle (Class of 1965) to create<br />

“Great Museums,” a series of documentaries on noteworthy museums<br />

throughout the U.S. that runs on more than 200 public television<br />

stations around the country. The series has been an unqualified artistic<br />

success, winning, among other plaudits, seven CINE “Golden Eagle”<br />

awards for high production standards in filmmaking.<br />

Although McCarthy retired from Goldman Sachs in 1998, he hasn’t<br />

abandoned the business arena. He develops commercial real estate in<br />

Philadelphia, New York and Delaware with his brother Dennis and for<br />

the past five years has been involved in launching a new venture called<br />

VMAC, a company that does commodity trading with energy firms.<br />

His business, charitable and cultural activities certainly keep him<br />

busy. And then there are the usual parental demands that he and his<br />

wife Deborah face raising their two teenage sons, Daniel, 17, and<br />

Keenan, 15. But he always manages to find time in his tight<br />

schedule for <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.<br />

McCarthy is now a member of the recently formed New York City<br />

Regional Roundtable, a group of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> alums who live and<br />

work in and around New York City and who have distinguished<br />

themselves in areas ranging from entertainment and the arts to finance<br />

to publishing to law. In addition to building a tighter network of New<br />

York-area <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> grads so they can play a more significant role in<br />

fundraising, the Roundtable also plans to host get-togethers with<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> students in Manhattan.<br />

Ideally, the group would like to reach out to students at a time when<br />

they’re making key decisions about college choices and future careers<br />

to introduce them to the broad range of educational and career<br />

opportunities that America’s premier city can provide—opportunities<br />

that have enriched the lives of McCarthy and other alums, including<br />

his fellow Roundtable Member Jerry Hathaway who is profiled<br />

on pages 9 and 10.<br />

“The plans are still in flux,” says McCarthy, “but if we can get<br />

more grads in the New York area to reconnect with the school and<br />

create a forum for <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> students who might be thinking of<br />

New York as a place to go to school or start their career, I think<br />

we can all benefit from that.”<br />

As important as McCarthy believes it is to get involved in public<br />

service, he doesn’t presume to tell others what form that service<br />

should take. “I can’t say that being involved with your school is more<br />

important than working for a local food bank,” says McCarthy.<br />

“But one thing I do know is that <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> does a first-class job of<br />

educating kids as smartly and economically as possible. So if you’re<br />

looking for a way to invest your time or money to give something<br />

back, <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> is a great place to do it.”

What is it about <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> that<br />

keeps its alumni so active and involved year after<br />

year? Ask Jerry Hathaway ’72 and he’ll tell you.<br />

Jerry Hathaway grew up in a small house on D Street and Tabor Road in the<br />

Olney section of Philadelphia, St. Ambrose Parish. With four boys under the age<br />

of 13 and a daughter on the way, Mrs. Hathaway lost her husband at a young<br />

age and moved the family from Texas to Philadelphia in order to raise her children<br />

around her relatives that had settled here. Growing up in what was slowly<br />

becoming a dangerous neighborhood, Hathaway could have easily slipped between<br />

the cracks of the system and gotten lost among the over-populated working<br />

class city schools. But his mother simply wouldn’t allow it.

(left to right):<br />

George ’69, Jerry ’72,<br />

Evelyn, Mike ’68,<br />

and Richard ’65, on<br />

the occasion of the<br />

wedding of Jerry’s eldest<br />

son in New York City<br />

in November 2006.<br />

“When we got here, my mother immediately started asking around<br />

for the best schools, and she was told about <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>” Hathaway<br />

reflects in a September interview. Even then, <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> was not the<br />

cheapest of educations, but when Mrs. Hathaway heard it was the<br />

place to send your sons, she was determined to do just that.<br />

“Looking back, I don’t know how my mother was able to do it.”<br />

Hathaway’s three older brothers went through <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> before him,<br />

Jerry following in tow. His first year was a struggle however, and it<br />

was not without the help of Marty Stanczak ’60 that he was able<br />

to return the following year.<br />

“I, along with my three brothers, was able to determine<br />

what I wanted and figure out the means to go and get it, and<br />

I attribute a lot of that to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.” In furtherance of his belief<br />

that <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> was one of the pivotal moments in his life that<br />

shaped the success he is today, he joined his three brothers,<br />

led by Michael ’68, to establish what is called the<br />

“Hathaway Brothers’ Scholarship Fund.”<br />

Hathaway’s neighborhood in Olney was starting to become a tough<br />

neighborhood when he started high school. Drugs were coming into<br />

the area and violence started to pick up a bit. In September of his<br />

Junior year, while standing around on Roosevelt Boulevard, “doing<br />

no good – not doing anything bad, but certainly not anything good,”<br />

Hathaway was attacked and beaten up, leaving him in the hospital<br />

with a few gashes and some broken teeth. It was at this moment that<br />

Hathaway claims he decided to turn himself around. “I thought to<br />

myself, ’where is your life going?’ and I realized it wasn’t going<br />

anywhere, and I needed to change that.”<br />

Hathaway held to his promise, and soon began to thrive at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.<br />

He got himself involved with the theater program here, where he even<br />

happened to meet his future wife, popular stage actress Ms. Kate<br />

McCauley (a Mount St. Joseph Academy graduate). Getting in with the<br />

right crowd and doing the right thing with his time was the best<br />

decision he ever made, claims Hathaway.<br />

Years later, after pursuing a Bachelors’ Degree from <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> University<br />

and going on to graduate from <strong>La</strong>w <strong>School</strong>, Hathaway sits in his New<br />

York City apartment looking back on his time he spent in Philadelphia.<br />

He and his wife Kate are the proud parents of three children, all of<br />

whom have grown up to be stellar students and prime examples of the<br />

determination and success Hathaway had modeled his life with. One<br />

of Hathaway’s children is none other than the famous movie actress<br />

Anne Hathaway, a determined individual who held a passion for<br />

performing since a young age but never once allowed it to affect the<br />

other aspects of her life. “I remember she wanted to take on a paying<br />

position with a theater company when she was fourteen, and it was<br />

going to be eight shows a week,” reflects Hathaway. “We told her<br />

that she needed to realize that this would become her extra-curricular<br />

activities, and if her grades slipped, she had to stop. She came out of<br />

her first semester of high school with a 4.0.”<br />

With a successful law practice in the heart of New York City on 3rd<br />

Avenue near the United Nations Plaza, as well as a life of happiness<br />

and excitement, it is absolutely fascinating for Hathaway to look back<br />

at his roots and think of how far he has come. “I, along with my three<br />

brothers, was able to determine what I wanted and figure out the<br />

means to go and get it, and I attribute a lot of that to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.” In<br />

furtherance of his belief that <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> was one of the pivotal moments<br />

in his life that shaped the success he is today, he joined his three<br />

brothers, led by Michael ’68, to establish what is called the “Hathaway<br />

Brothers’ Scholarship Fund” – an account set up to assist young men<br />

from the inner city to be allowed the opportunity and education that<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> has to offer, an opportunity that, without the help of the<br />

Hathaway Brothers, would be unattainable. The Fund has been more<br />

than successful and has been a personal connection for the Hathaway<br />

Brothers (Richard ’65, Michael ’68, George ’69, and Jerry ’72) to the<br />

school that they believe led them to bigger and better things.<br />

“I am pleased to find out that we have just given our first scholarship<br />

to a student at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>,” Hathaway comments on his family’s<br />

donations to the school.<br />

Life has led Hathaway to a life he had never imagined, taking him to<br />

a successful life in New York, a family of fame, fortune, and happiness,<br />

and a sense of roots to his old Alma Mater that is stronger than it has<br />

ever been. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>’s own Jerry Hathaway ’72<br />

has taken his life and turned it around to give back to those who are<br />

starting where he did – a true <strong>La</strong> Sallian by any standard.

Dear Friends of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>,<br />

Words cannot adequately express the great pride I felt this past year as I<br />

watched our school and our students excel in so many ways. It was certainly<br />

a banner year for our sports teams – we captured seven Philadelphia Catholic<br />

League Championships, which created an incredible sense of excitement and<br />

pride among our students and school community. The glowing report we<br />

received from the Middle States validation team for reaccreditation was cause<br />

for great excitement and celebration among our faculty and administration.<br />

Watching our facilities plan begin to take form as the contractors began to<br />

prepare for the construction of a new academic wing has afforded our Board<br />

of Trustees a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. These are but a few of the<br />

tremendous achievements that have positively impacted our student and<br />

parents, our alumni, our faculty and administration, and our Board of<br />

Trustees. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> is, indeed, a school that is constantly “exploring” ways to<br />

enhance the educational experience for our students.<br />

None of these wonderful accomplishments would be possible if not for the<br />

generosity of so many individuals from all walks of life. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> is truly a<br />

diverse community of individuals who work together for the common good of<br />

our school and our students. There exists at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> a belief that something<br />

transformational happens to the students who pass through the hallowed halls<br />

of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. It isn’t something one can see or touch,<br />

but it’s there all the same. It’s something that all of us connected with <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

value and are willing to support, sometimes sacrificially. Whether it is<br />

with our money, our talent, our time or our heart – we are committed to<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s future.<br />

I am proud to share the names of these individuals with you in the pages<br />

that follow. Each name represents a commitment to the mission of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

and to its future. Each gift has touched the life of a promising young man.<br />

Collectively, we have seen the future through the eyes of our students and<br />

have blessed them with our caring support.<br />

Thank you again for supporting our boys so they can become our<br />

“Men of Tomorrow!”<br />

Sincerely yours,<br />

Brother Richard Kestler, FSC ’60<br />

President<br />

Chairman<br />

Board of Trustees<br />

6 Explorer Autumn 2007<br />

Dear Friends of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>,<br />

This past year was not so much a year of transition, as was the case the year<br />

before, but more of a time of development and growth. A number of initiatives<br />

set forth in the Strategic Plan that <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s Board of Trustees developed<br />

and refined over a number of years began to take shape, including breaking<br />

ground on a new academic wing this past May. The new wing is the first stage<br />

of a multi-phase facilities plan that will expand and enhance <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s campus<br />

over the next several years. It is truly an exciting time at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.<br />

As chairman of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s Board of Trustees, I can confidently report that<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s administrative team has been working diligently to make our school<br />

the best that it can be and want to personally congratulate them and the entire<br />

faculty for all that has been accomplished on behalf of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and our<br />

students this past year. They are the heart and soul of this fine institution and<br />

help to ensure that <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> continues its long-standing tradition of<br />

educational excellence.<br />

Equally as important are our volunteers and donors. They are the foundation<br />

upon which all else depends. Without your love and support of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, the<br />

vision we have for our school and our students would not be possible. You<br />

make things happen. From our parent support groups to our alumni – all play<br />

a critical role not only in <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s future but also in our leaders of tomorrow.<br />

On behalf of the entire Board of Trustees, please accept my heartfelt thanks<br />

for your willingness to be part of something much larger than ourselves.<br />

Together we are building a better future – one student at a time.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Al J. Gabriele<br />

Board of Trustees

The Howard R. and Jennie Leary Grant Fund<br />

Howard Leary, like many young men from working<br />

class families, found himself dropping out of high<br />

school and going to work to help his family make ends<br />

meet. In 1931, however, Howard decided that he had<br />

made a mistake and applied to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong><br />

<strong>School</strong>. Although his parents could not afford to pay<br />

the tuition, the Brothers made it possible for him to<br />

attend <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>. While attending <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, Howard<br />

was a star football player and demonstrated his<br />

predisposition as a leader during the two years he<br />

served as the captain of the football team.<br />

From these humble beginnings, Howard became one of<br />

the most revered and respected police commissioners in<br />

Philadelphia and, later, in New York City. A quiet and<br />

reserved man, he rarely spoke of his past, but he did<br />

talk about the Christian Brothers and <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, and how<br />

grateful he was for the wonderful opportunity he was<br />

given. It was a gesture of kindness that he would never<br />

forget or take for granted.<br />

In the years before he died, Howard Leary asked his<br />

wife to give whatever was left from their estate to<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> to make sure that young<br />

men who cannot afford to attend <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> are provided<br />

the same opportunities that he had as a young boy. He<br />

also asked that preference be given to the sons of fire<br />

fighters and police officers. To honor her husband’s<br />

wishes, Mrs. Leary decided to establish an endowed<br />

scholarship fund with a portion of their existing assets.<br />

For the past seven years, twenty students have<br />

benefited from the Leary Endowment. Mrs. Leary has<br />

had the joy of seeing these students progress through<br />

their high school years and some going off to college.<br />

The Leary’s are providing for deserving students today,<br />

and through a future bequest, they will be ensuring<br />

that many more generations of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> students will<br />

reap the benefits of their generosity.

The Elizabeth B. Slabinski Scholarship Fund<br />

Coming from the small neighborhood of Bridesburg in<br />

Northeast Philadelphia, the name <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong><br />

<strong>School</strong> was not in everyone’s vocabulary. Although<br />

everyone was furloughed to Father Judge, we did have<br />

a fairly good representation from our little hamlet, at<br />

least enough to get a carpool going. My mother, who<br />

besides running the family business after my father<br />

died when I was in 4th Grade, had her hands full, but<br />

still managed to maintain her role as a great mother to<br />

me and my older sister. Her upbringing and roots were<br />

from Camden, NJ and our world was focused between<br />

the Delaware River and Roosevelt Boulevard. Needless<br />

to say, <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> was not on<br />

our radar.<br />

My first experience at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> was that of a Catholic<br />

League basketball game. The school was a million<br />

miles away from home, but the moment I stepped on<br />

campus, an incredible feeling came over me from that<br />

short visit. The school was new, so much different from<br />

what I had been used to coming from one of the older<br />

parochial grade schools in the city. The real difference<br />

was not so much the bricks and mortar; rather, the<br />

total environment which I dared to enter. I really didn’t<br />

realize it until after taking the entrance exam, being<br />

accepted, and finally arriving at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> on the first day<br />

of school that the people at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> were what made<br />

it so different! They were like family. They became my<br />

new family. The administrators and teachers became<br />

my new parents and my fellow students became like<br />

brothers – the same way they remain today.<br />

My four years at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> were terrific; the only problem<br />

was that they went by too quickly. Luckily, one of my<br />

dreams was fulfilled when my son, Joe was accepted<br />

and became a student. The same problem occurred<br />

again when his graduation in 2001 became another<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> highlight in my life. Over the past forty years,<br />

each and every time I leave Bridesburg and venture<br />

west up Cheltenham Avenue to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, I still feel the<br />

goose bumps and excitement as if I were still a student.<br />

Whether I go back to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> for an Alumni Board<br />

meeting, a meeting of the Board of Trustees, or just to<br />

make a social call – it always feels like returning home.<br />

When I think back of all of the meetings, time,<br />

work, and financial support that I have given to<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> over the years, it pales in<br />

comparison to what <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> has given to me.

The Donahue-Fitzpatrick Endowment Fund<br />

Like many families in the era in which we grew up, our<br />

parents raised five sons on one salary. Dad, who did not<br />

finish high school, was a sheet metal worker; Mom left<br />

high school early to help support her widowed mother<br />

and became a stay-at-home mother. Although neither<br />

of our parents finished high school, they understood<br />

the importance of education and encouraged each of<br />

us to always “do our best”. They saw and appreciated,<br />

as did our teachers at St. William’s grade school, the<br />

unique educational environment, the challenge, and<br />

the opportunities that <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />

would provide for us. All five of us attended <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>,<br />

and we helped to pay half of our tuition with monies<br />

from a paper route (the Donahue Boys had an Evening<br />

Bulletin route in our neighborhood for over eighteen<br />

years)! We knew that going to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> was very special.<br />

Building on the values which were ingrained in us by<br />

our loving parents, <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> prepared us to pursue our<br />

lives and positioned us to choose almost any career<br />

option. Our parents sacrificed much for us to attend<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>. We had no idea at the time how great their<br />

sacrifice was, and we had little appreciation of just how<br />

fortunate we were to be in the <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> environment, at<br />

both 20th and Olney (the site of the old <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>High</strong><br />

<strong>School</strong>), and the “new” <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> campus on Cheltenham<br />

Ave. As <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> graduates, we knew we were well<br />

prepared for the future, because of an experience that<br />

was truly life altering.<br />

Because we all had such a positive experience at<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, we decided to establish a named endowment<br />

fund to honor the memory of our parents and their<br />

commitment to education. The fund will provide in perpetuity<br />

financial assistance to qualified students so they<br />

can pursue the same educational opportunities that<br />

we had as young men. For us, the Donahue Fitzpatrick<br />

Endowment Fund is our way of expressing thanks and<br />

appreciation for the <strong>La</strong>Sallian experience.<br />

We were taught then what <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> young men are<br />

taught today – “Boys will be Boys but <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Boys will<br />

be Gentlemen”. Our society needs as many gentlemen<br />

as <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> can produce, and our hope is that, through<br />

our gift, we will have played a small but critical role in<br />

the lives of hundreds of deserving young men.

The John Whalen ’67 Grant Fund<br />

John Whalen came to us in the fall of 1963 from<br />

Immaculate Conception Parrish in Germantown. As<br />

a member of the illustrious class of 1967, John has<br />

been a loyal “Brother’s Boy” ever since. All of John’s<br />

Philadelphia friends know him as “Jake”, a nickname<br />

that came down from his father before him. For<br />

the last 20 years “Jake” has lived and worked in the<br />

Washington, D.C. area. The Wharco Realty Co. has been<br />

the vehicle that “Jake” has used to find success in the<br />

area of property management and development.<br />

Living in Bethesda, Maryland with his wife Linda<br />

Rabbitt, John has settled into a career that has proved<br />

personally fulfilling and rewarding. John and Linda<br />

have 2 daughters, Ashleigh a professional opera singer,<br />

who has recently married and <strong>La</strong>uren an attorney<br />

in D.C.<br />

Being a loyal alum and being mindful of the many<br />

generosities extended to him as a student while here at<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, Jake has stepped forward as one of the leaders<br />

of our “Fulfilling the Promise” campaign. His help in<br />

directing the campaign as a member of the campaign<br />

cabinet as well as his personal financial commitment<br />

has positioned <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> for even more future successes.

Pension Protection Act of 2007<br />

Are you over 70?<br />

Are you required to take a minimum<br />

withdrawal from your IRA?<br />

Are your charitable contributions subject<br />

to the pesky 2% rule?<br />

Do your major assets reside in your IRA?<br />

A new law presents a wonderful opportunity through December<br />

of 2007 for individuals to utilize their IRA’s creatively to accomplish<br />

special philanthropic objectives. It took nearly a decade, but<br />

Congress has finally enacted legislation as part of the Pension<br />

Protection Act of 2007 (PPA 2007), which offers charitably<br />

minded individuals a golden opportunity to make gifts from their<br />

IRA’s and exclude the amount of their gifts from gross income.<br />

To qualify for the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement<br />

Tax Credit Program (EITC):<br />

• donors must be 70 1/2 years of age or older;<br />

• transfers must go directly from the IRA to qualified charities;<br />

• gifts cannot exceed $100,000 per taxpayer; and<br />

• gifts must be outright. *<br />

* Transfers to donor advised funds, supporting organizations,<br />

charitable remainder trusts, and charitable annuities do not qualify.<br />

Until now, individuals withdrawing $100,000 from their IRA’s<br />

and contributing it to a charity would have had to include the<br />

$100,000 in their income and would have been allowed a federal<br />

charitable income-tax deduction. Ostensibly, the net result was<br />

zero tax implication – a “wash” for all practical purposes. The<br />

new law presents a significant opportunity for those taxpayers<br />

unable to use some or all of the charitable deduction.<br />

If you have any questions or to find out if you qualify,<br />

please contact our office at (215) 233-2350.

Legendary Coach<br />

Mixes Wins<br />

With Metaphors<br />

by Ted Silary<br />

Philadelphia Daily News<br />

The article first appeared in<br />

the Philadelphia Daily News on<br />

Monday, November 5, 2007 and has<br />

Daily News.<br />

John F. “Tex” Flannery ’40<br />

1 9 2 2 – 2 0 0 7<br />

The only things John “Tex’’ Flannery cared about more than football<br />

were faith and family. And he absolutely loved football.<br />

<strong>La</strong>st fall, even after being diagnosed with cancer, he would show<br />

up almost every day at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> to help guide<br />

the freshman players.<br />

Long before that, he had become a legend among the<br />

city’s head coaches, after enjoying a fruitful playing career,<br />

and even had met his wife because of his association<br />

with the sport.<br />

Flannery, who turned 85 on October 6th died on<br />

November 4, 2007.<br />

Such is life in the big city.<br />

Tex won’t mind if you say that aloud. In fact, he’d be<br />

honored. That was one of his favorite phrases, and he had<br />

a million of ‘em. Some even made sense.<br />

See, that was part of Flannery’s charm. He’d mix his<br />

metaphors – “It’s all water under the dam’’ – in the interest<br />

of providing entertainment and giving people stories to tell<br />

for the rest of their day, week, month, year, life.<br />

Flannery is mostly known in football circles for the<br />

twenty-nine seasons he spent as <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s head coach<br />

(1956-84), where he posted a record of 149-115-12<br />

in that span, winning Philadelphia Catholic League<br />

championships in 1957, 1958, and 1960 and City<br />

Championships in 1958 and 1960.<br />

But before that, for four seasons starting in 1944, he was<br />

a teacher at John Bartram and the school’s head football<br />

coach (17-17-0), and it was in that role that he met an<br />

Inquirer sports writer named Rosemary McCarron.<br />

He cracked one-liners. She became his wife. Their son, Jack,<br />

now deceased, starred for Dad at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> as a quarterback.<br />

Their daughter, Mary, was a reporter for the Daily News and<br />

Inquirer and now directs communications for the Greater<br />

Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. Another daughter,<br />

Kate, is Jack’s twin.<br />

Flannery and his wife attended Mass on a daily basis. If<br />

you mentioned you’d see him soon, he’d shoot back,<br />

“With the grace of God and the Blessed Mother.’’ He loved<br />

to read, especially books about politics, and offer opinions<br />

during Sunday night dinners at daughter Mary’s house.<br />

Among the captivated listeners was Mary’s son, John<br />

Connors, who somehow wound up playing football for<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s gigantic rival, St. Joseph’s Prep.<br />

“He was my hero,’’ Connors said. “He was everything<br />

I want to be in life.<br />

“There he was, Mr. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, and I was going to Prep.<br />

He was behind me 100 percent. My mom forbid him from<br />

going to Prep’s practices. Of course, that didn’t work.<br />

He always came to support me.’’<br />

The younger grandson, Dan Connors, finished playing<br />

just last year for <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.


John F. “Tex” Flannery ‘40<br />

922 – 2007<br />

• Coached football for<br />

thirty-three years beginning<br />

in the mid-1940’s<br />

• Began coaching at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

Why is he called Tex?<br />

As a young student at<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>,<br />

John Flannery read “dime<br />

store” western novels. In the<br />

summer of 1937, Jim Bonder,<br />

the Head Football Coach,<br />

spotted him reading on the<br />

beach outside Ocean Rest, the<br />

Christian Brothers’ Residence<br />

in Ocean City, and called him<br />

“Tex.” The nickname stuck<br />

and a legend was born.<br />

Did You Know?<br />

Tex Flannery played on the<br />

last football team at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> before the program<br />

was disbanded in 1941<br />

because of World War II.<br />

Tex was the starting center<br />

against Providence <strong>College</strong> on<br />

November 16, 1941, in what<br />

would be the last home game<br />

played at McCarthy Stadium<br />

until the football program<br />

was eventually revived fiftysix<br />

years later in September<br />

of 1997.<br />

“When I was a freshman, my mom said he<br />

could come watch our practices, but not go<br />

down to the field,’’ Dan said. “He couldn’t<br />

help himself.’’<br />

Early in life, the boys realized their<br />

grandpop’s stature.<br />

“Everywhere we went, someone knew<br />

him,’’ Dan said. “ ‘I was a tackle for you in<br />

1963. Things like that. It was non-stop.’’<br />

After leaving teaching, Flannery sold corrugated<br />

boxes and other items to pharmaceutical<br />

companies. Also, though he never<br />

smoke or drank, he became a bar owner.<br />

He owned the Cherry Street Tavern, at<br />

22nd and Cherry Streets, until selling it in<br />

1990 to brothers Bill and Bob Loughery,<br />

former <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> players whom he’d guided<br />

into the business.<br />

“We still talked on a regular basis,’’<br />

Bill said. “Tex had such an impact on my<br />

life. He always accentuated the positive.<br />

That’s what he was all about.’’<br />

Joe Colistra went back with Flannery to<br />

the fall of 1960, when he entered <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

as a freshman. His own dad died young<br />

and Colistra came to view Flannery as a<br />

father figure.<br />

He immediately joined Tex’s staff in 1968,<br />

after graduating from Villanova, and<br />

replaced him as head coach in 1985. His<br />

twenty-one seasons produced a record of<br />

153-88-2, along with four championships.<br />

“The sayings. I always think of them when I<br />

think of Tex,’’ Colistra said. “ ‘When<br />

you win, pimples turn into dimples.’ My son<br />

[Paul] is an assistant now at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.<br />

I find myself saying those things to him<br />

and he’ll laugh and say, ‘Where did that<br />

come from?’ ‘’<br />

Joe Parisi, who still holds the position, said<br />

he was handed an envelope by Flannery<br />

upon becoming <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s baseball coach<br />

in 1986.<br />

“Inside was a one-year subscription to<br />

Coach magazine,’’ Parisi said. “That’s how<br />

Tex was. Very generous. He kept that going<br />

for five, six, seven years. Took me that<br />

long to learn.’’<br />

Flannery lived as a youth on Wade Street,<br />

which takes up just one block near Greene<br />

and Manheim, in Germantown. He walked<br />

to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, which then was located at<br />

20th and Olney, and attended the college<br />

as well. In football, as an end, he earned<br />

first-team All-Scholastic honors (best<br />

players in the five-county area) from the<br />

old Philadelphia Bulletin in his senior<br />

season of 1939.<br />

Flannery was also a fixture at basketball<br />

games, and served as the longtime<br />

president of the Markward Club, which<br />

honors high school players.<br />

Aside from his wife and children, Flannery<br />

is survived by ten grandchildren.<br />

The viewing and Mass for Flannery will be<br />

held at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> on<br />

Thursday evening, November 8, 2007 and<br />

Friday morning, November 9, 2007.<br />

Also, and this was decided a while ago,<br />

the field where the Explorers hold their<br />

freshman and JV games will be named<br />

for him during a homecoming event<br />

November 21, 2007.<br />

When Flannery retired as <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s head<br />

coach, he did so by tossing his keys onto<br />

a desk and saying, in part, “All roads bend<br />

and all roads end.’’<br />

For all 85 years,<br />

what a wonderful road<br />

it was.

They say that a picture speaks a thousand<br />

words. If this is true, then Brother James Rieck<br />

speaks volumes.<br />

A fixture at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>,<br />

Jim Rieck graduated fifty years ago as a member<br />

of the Class of 1957. He entered the Christian<br />

Brothers that same year and spent his early<br />

years as a teacher of Social Studies at Bishop<br />

O’Connell <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> in Fairfax, VA. He has<br />

taught Religion, coached tennis, and served as<br />

Athletic Director as well as Dean of Students. In<br />

1984, he returned to his Alma Mater and spent<br />

the next five years as Assistant Principal. He<br />

then spent three years as Principal of Archbishop<br />

John Carroll <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> in Radnor before<br />

returning to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>, where<br />

he has spent the last fifteen years as Director<br />

of Admissions. During this time, applications<br />

and admissions have been at an all-time high<br />

and the admissions process has been brought<br />

to a new level. He also currently serves as the<br />

Director of the Christian Brothers Community at<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />

Although Brother James has been charged with<br />

the arduous task of “capturing” students, he<br />

is perhaps best known for capturing a different<br />

side of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s student body. Brother can be<br />

found at almost every event with his camera in<br />

hand. There is not an event or team over the<br />

years that Brother James has not chronicled with<br />

his trusty Nikon D70 and his photos can be<br />

found throughout our campus and in almost<br />

every school publication. His love for photography<br />

is surpassed only by his love for <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.<br />

Together they make the “perfect picture.”<br />

Brother’s distinct connection to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and<br />

its students is perhaps most evident by his<br />

participation in Kairos – the retreat program for<br />

seniors. In Greek, Kairos means a “special time<br />

of the Lord,” and for the last six years, Brother<br />

James has made the trip to Camp Neumann<br />

to share his own life experiences and help<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> retreatants take advantage of this<br />

special time. In all, Brother has served as a<br />

Kairos leader on fifteen different occasions.<br />

Brother James is an avid cyclist, having participated<br />

in a number of local events including<br />

Pedal for Prevention, which benefits Fox Chase<br />

Cancer Center. A true explorer by nature, his<br />

travels have taken him around the globe from<br />

Ireland to Alaska and Hawaii to Rome. All the<br />

time, the shutter and flash get a workout.<br />

At Graduation in June, Brother James received<br />

the President’s Medal (along with Marty<br />

Stanczak ’60) and joined his classmates as they<br />

celebrated their 50-Year Reunion from <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. In October, he celebrated<br />

fifty years as a Christian Brother and was<br />

honored at the Union League by the Baltimore<br />

Province of the De <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Christian Brothers for<br />

his service to God, the Brothers, and <strong>La</strong>sallian<br />

education.<br />
