Mission Statement 

Archbishop Rummel High School educates each student 

according to the principles of the Catholic Church in the 

LaSallian tradition of faith, community, and service. 

In a caring, disciplined environment of social awareness 

and academic excellence, Archbishop Rummel High 

School challenges each student to recognize the dignity 

of life and to develop and share to the best of his ability, 

his unique talents. 

“To Give One’s Life 

for the Sheep” 

Message from the President 

Dear Raider Alumnus: 

Bold, strong, and unafraid are the words we have used to describe our school’s namesake, 

Archbishop Joseph Francis Rummel – a remarkable leader who championed social justice and 

prevailed in the face of tremendous adversity. His example has been an inspiration to school 

leadership. We, too, have faced adversity in the form of the changing climate in education in 

the post-Katrina age. Confronted with a decreased population, with an unstable local economy, 

and with a community’s wounded morale, the leadership at Archbishop Rummel High School 

strives to be bold, strong, and unafraid in fulfilling its mission to provide for its current students 

and for its future students. 

The legacy of St. John Baptist de la Salle, the founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, 

continues to influence our work. The Christian Brothers, who were the original stewards of the 

school, left us with a devotion to De La Salle’s philosophy of education which focused on faith, 

community, and service. 

The mission of Archbishop Rummel High School encompasses all that makes it unique. 

It acknowledges the educational needs of the young, the importance of their faith development, 

and the call of our founders to inspire them to become leaders who serve. However, there are 

many challenges that we face, making it harder to achieve our vision. 

First, in order to remain competitive in attracting qualified, committed Catholic educators, we 

are addressing the salary needs of our teachers, administrators and staff members. Economic 

conditions throughout our country continue to adversely impact our budgets. Families continue to struggle to meet monthly mortgage, utility and 

food obligations and many work more than one job to pay Catholic school tuition. Expenses are rising faster than our income projections. 

We are committed to attracting the best teaches; the test will be to retain them. All schools in our area are facing the challenge of staff turnovers, 

even more so since Hurricane Katrina. Teacher turnover is costly – not just in dollars, but costs that are tougher to tally. It makes it difficult to 

implement and sustain improvement initiatives and to reap the fruits of professional development. We must continue to offer competitive salaries 

and benefits with an eye on keeping tuition affordable. 

As in most private Catholic schools, it is the financial commitment of parents that keeps the mission alive. Thus, all improvements are 

carried out in anticipation of parental support. On December 8, 2008, the parent phase of annual giving – the Parent Pride Fund – successfully 

completed its pledge drive. The funds collected serve as a necessary source of direct support for the school’s annual operating budget by making up 

the difference between the $5,670 in tuition and the $8,466 it actually costs to educate each Archbishop Rummel student. Most importantly at this 

time, the Parent Pride Fund helps insure student academic success by maintaining inspired professionals. 

Second, it is now becoming evident that many Catholic families continue to suffer financially from post-Katrina effects. It is increasingly more 

difficult to hold true to our mission by servicing the financial needs of our families. Requests for financial assistance continue to escalate. The school 

budget provided approximately $350,000 of tuition assistance in the form of income reductions in 2005-2006 and 2006-2007. During 2007-2008, 

that number increased to approximately $460,000. Additionally, the school recorded a significant amount of tuition lost for student withdrawals, 

most of these experiencing financial inabilities to meet obligations. The school provides tuition assistance to families who demonstrate financial 

need. In 2006-2007 there were approximately 100 students receiving assistance; in 2007-2008 there were 112 students receiving aid; and for the 

2008-2009 year there are over 150 students receiving assistance. 

This year’s alumni phase of annual giving – the Alumni Pride Fund – will focus on supplementing financial aid. The fund provides an 

opportunity for you to express your support of the positive improvement and growth that has already energized our school community. It is also a 

clear demonstration of your Raider Pride to our students, our teachers, and the broader community. Your gift to the Alumni Pride Fund will help 

serve families who struggle to meet the cost of Catholic education. That speaks loudly that the mission of Archbishop Rummel High School is alive 

and thriving. 

I am pleased to have Jerry Matherne ’80 and honorary alumnus Ronnie Doyle as our Alumni Chairs for this year’s Alumni Pride Fund. In 

early February, a pledge packet will be arriving in the mail. Please be generous. With an eye on our past, school leadership plans for the future. We 

continue to focus on our mission statement as the foundation for all that we do. As partners with the school, you assist our efforts by reinforcing our 

mission and beliefs. Thank you in advance for your support. 

Live Jesus in Our Hearts Forever,

Genesian Players 

Mr. G embodies the Genesian Players 

Back in 1963 

during the 

school’s first 

academic year, 

a very young 

man directed a 

one-act play in 

the Archbishop 

Mr. Chuck Guajardo, c.1964. 

Rummel 

gymnasium for the student body. 

The man was new teacher Charles 

Guajardo and the production was 

“Minor Miracle.” His production 

was so well received by students and 

teachers alike that he formed a drama 

club for the brand new school and 

called the group the Genesians. The 

name was eventually changed to the 

Genesian Players. 

Fast forward to 45 years later and 

Director Chuck Guajardo is still 

director of his Genesian Players having 

directed almost 200 school plays for 

Archbishop Rummel. His numerous 

high school, college, and professional 

thespians around the world share the 

history of his Archbishop Rummel 

drama organization today. 

“Back in my sophomore year, I 

became involved with the Genesians 

by participating in a speech contest, 

which was included in Genesian 

activities. I got to know Mr. Guajardo 

through those contests and then 

one day he asked that I audition for 

an upcoming production of ‘Julius 

Caesar’,” said Spencer Harris, ’67. 

He said that when the cast was 

announced, Mr. Guajardo gave him 

the Julius Caesar role in the play. 

Harris continued, “I was shocked. I 

had a leading role and I had not yet 

reached puberty, and Lee Martiny was 

cast as Mark Antony and his voice was 

even higher than mine.” 

Since the school had no permanent 

location for Genesian Players 

productions, the plays in the early 

1960s were staged at the downtown 

Civic Theater in the CBD or at East 

Jefferson High School. At those 

venues, more difficulties resulted 

because the Genesians had to hire a 

union orchestra for plays at the Civic 

Theater. 

“The Rummel community really 

endorsed and supported those early 

plays and all performances at the huge 

Civic Theater were sold out regularly,” 

Harris said. 

Spencer Harris, ‘67, and the 

cast from “Julius Caesar” 

This ’67 alum gives total credit for 

the Genesian Players’ success to Mr. 

G. Harris said Mr. Guajardo could 

act, could dance, and could sing, 

so he held summer classes for his 

drama students where they learned 

techniques of performance. 

“It was like spring football training 

but for us, it was summer training for 

theater,” he said. 

Harris remembers today his 

amazement at the organization and 

structure of the Genesian Players back 

in the 60s. “I reflect how organized 

and mature the students were back 

then. Mr. G would tell us ‘we have 

to build this’ or ‘we must design this’ 

and the students would just get up 

and do it. I was just in awe at how Mr. 

Guajardo could get his actors to work 

so well every day,” Harris remembers. 

The nickname, Mr. G, came from 

Michael Livaudais, ’66, who was 

the Genesian Players’ first president. 

Now a Christian Brother and drama 

director at Christian Brothers High 

School in Memphis, Tennessee, 

Brother Michael said the now-famous 

Mr. G nickname “was probably a 

combination of the old Hollywood 

tradition of naming someone by 

initials and the Gee whiz! we all felt 

in admiration of Chuck and of being 

in the presence of such happiness and 

creativity.” 

Livaudais remembers the early days 

when he first learned about the 

Players. “Some friends of mine were 

moving lumber and scenery in the 

afternoon one day after school. They 

asked for help. Transportation home 

after school was not there yet, so I 

helped out. The friendship and fun the 

group seemed to have even in doing 

grunt work, like moving supplies, was 

infectious. They seemed happy and 

really enjoyed being and working 

together,” he said. 

Livaudais said that the enthusiasm and 

fun that he noticed right away among 

the students was underscored when he 

met Mr. Guajardo. 

“The students enjoyed their connection 

and their work, and Mr. Guajardo 

seemed to enjoy and care about us. I 

found new friends, a way to spend 

some ‘empty’ time, and some real 

pride in what we accomplished 

together,” Livaudais said. 

He continued, “When I first started 

working with the Genesians, I did 

technical work. We did not have our 

own theatre in those days and had 

to find other performance places for 

our shows. I remember trying to get 

a rather antiquated lighting system 

to work at Ursuline’s gym—the kind 

with a stage stuck on one end of it. 

I was completely happy doing tech 

work and had no desire to move from 

backstage to performance.” 

A young Livaudais quickly moved 

from the sound stage to center stage at 

Mr. Guajardo’s insistence. He explains, 

“His encouragement is what made me 

dare to try out for a role. Small ones 

at first and then larger ones as my 

confidence grew: a tiny role in ‘Song 

of Bernadette,’ ‘Julius Caesar,’ ‘All The 

Way Home,’ ‘Once Upon A Mattress’, 

and ‘Brigadoon.’ I was fascinated by 

the entire creative process and Mr. G 

seemed to embody that for all of us.” 

Livaudais remembers that the 

Genesians spent untold hours together 

working on shows and in each other’s 

company. They did not mind a bit; a 

real family environment was created. 

And they were constantly learning. 

“We traveled downtown to local movie 

shoots and watched and learned. We 

created, solved problems, and met 

challenges we had no idea we could 

handle. Mr. G was the inspiration 

“The Odd Couple”, Dennis Whittaker (left) 

and Matt Borel, 1971 

behind all that. Somewhere between 

all the exhausting hours, the paintwars, 

the cleanup crews, the opening 

nights, the frightful auditions, and the 

laughter—God, did we laugh!!—we 

began to notice our confidence and 

self-esteem growing, a buffing down 

of our own egos and a shared joy in 

each other’s accomplishments, a sense 

of belonging that was as strong as any 

team or family I knew. 

“Minor Miracle”, the very first Genesian production 

in the Raider gym. 

“I think it was this last realization that 

pushed me toward choosing theatre as 

one of my three majors in college and 

pursuing directing for my M.A. work 

at Northwestern University. I have 

never regretted it,” Brother Michael 

reflected. 

Now after 130 plays directed, Director 

Livaudais still sees the seeds that 

the Genesian Players planted in his 

adolescent soul in the 60’s very much 

in operation today. He still believes 

that involvement in the arts, especially 

theatre, since it involves the whole 

person, is one of the best ways to 

increase confidence and improve 

self-esteem for kids in an educational 

arena. “Whenever I hear a proud 

parent talk today of what our theatre 

program at Christian Brothers High 

School has done for their child, or 

receive a letter from an alum who 

names his years of involvement in 

theatre and his experience onstage 

in high school as some of the most 

formative times of his development as 

a kid, I am completely aware of how 

this was exactly what happened to me 

at Rummel, with Mr. G and those first 

Genesian Players. And I am grateful. 

“In our CBHS program some forty 

years later, I still have young actors 

circle up before each performance 

of our shows for notes and a prayer, 

another holdover from those great 

years of formation we received under 

Mr. G in the Genesian Theater,” 

Brother Michael Livaudais remembers. 

Another former Genesian and current 

Genesian Booster Club member, 

Carol Bartels, attended her first 

Genesian performance, “Our Town,” 

when she was just nine years old. “My 

older sisters were highly involved in 

the Genesians and they enjoyed it so 

much that I wanted to be a member 

one day,” Bartels said. 

“I want today’s young people to 

be able to have the same type of 

learning and life experiences the club 

provided me. Being a Genesian was 

one of the highlights of my high 

school experiences. I want this great 

opportunity and learning experience 

to continue for today’s students.” The 

success of the Genesians comes from 

Mr. G’s many talents and his devotion 

to the students, a devotion that 

continues long after graduation,” she 

said. 

As the archivist for the Genesian 

Booster Club, she hopes to keep the 

traditions alive by maintaining the 

old programs, photographs, slides, 

and other Genesian memorabilia. 

She added that her nephew, Brian 

Comiskey, an Archbishop Rummel 

senior, is following the family tradition

Raider Coaches 

Class Reunions 

by being a Genesian Player. Today she 

is director of systems for The Historic 

New Orleans Collection. 

One more alumnus whose experiences 

with the Genesian Players led to a 

lifetime career is Edward Jemison, ’81. 

He said his sister attended Archbishop 

Chapelle and was a Genesian back in 

the late 1960s when he was just six 

Eddie Jemison, ’81, and his daughter Daisy by his 

personal billboard for “Ocean’s Thirteen” at the Cannes 

Film Festival in France 

years old. He said that he followed her 

example ten years later and became a 

Genesian Player. 

Now a professional actor with film 

credits in some of the biggest movies 

made, Eddie Jemison’s most recent 

films include “Ocean’s Eleven,” 

“Ocean’s Twelve,” and “Ocean’s 

Thirteen,” where he was the computer 

person in the heists. He has also 

performed in numerous other movies 

and television shows. 

Jemison gives much credit for his 

acting successes to the Genesian 

Players and his directors, Mr. G and 

former assistant director Mr. Bob 

Roso, who were such influences 

on him. “These men taught me all 

the basics of theatre, from acting to 

directing to stage lighting, but more 

than that, they demystified it for me 

and, even more than that, they made 

everything fun. 

“Fun is often forgotten as a teaching 

device but Mr. G never forgot. 

Everything he did was fun. He took 

us to New York every year, and I saw 

nearly 30 Broadway plays thanks 

to him. He opened up the world to 

me. Before I joined The Genesians, I 

would just go to class, say as little as 

possible to anyone, and then go home. 

After I joined, I met girls, opened up, 

and found a craft I loved,” Jemison 

said. 

Still another professional actor today 

and Genesian Player yesterday is 

Brandt Blocker, ’90, currently the 

artistic director and general manager 

of the Atlanta Lyric Theater for the 

past two years. 

“I probably got a jump start on the 

Genesian Players because I was in 

seventh grade at St. Benilde School 

when I first heard of the Players and 

Mr. G,” said Blocker. 

He said that Mr. G’s two daughters 

also attended school there and he 

was assisting the school in their 

production of “The Sound of Music.” 

Blocker said he played Rolf, one of the 

children in the musical, and Mr. G was 

heavily involved in the production. 

“Two years later I attended Archbishop 

Rummel, joined the Genesians and 

played Snoopy in my first production, 

‘You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown’.” 

Blocker said he thoroughly loved the 

Genesian Players because it instilled in 

him discipline, an appreciation of all 

aspects of theater…not just acting, but 

all of it. 

“Even today I remember some of the 

things I learned as a Genesian Player 

and bring them to my theater in 

Atlanta. The Genesian Players gave 

me my career and I will be forever 

grateful,” he said. 

As the Genesian Players approaches 

its fiftieth anniversary, hundreds 

and hundreds of former students are 

better persons today because of their 

involvement with the Genesian Players 

in general and Mr. G in particular. 

Now a financial advisor with Morgan 

Stanley, Spencer Harris, ’67, said that 

he is still in awe of what the Players 

and Chuck Guajardo have done for 

so many generations of young people 

over the years. 

“Mr. G embodies the Genesian Players 

and all of us are better persons today 

because of our work as Genesian 

Players and our friendship with and 

dedication to Mr. Chuck Guajardo,” 

Harris said. 

Mr. G and cast of “Picnic” 

Brother Michael Livaudais, ’66, added, 

“Looking back at the story of the 

Genesians and Mr. G, it is hard not to 

notice a great metaphor that the title 

“Minor Miracle” is. Not only was that 

the title of our first play performed in 

the early 1960’s in the Rummel gym, 

but also it can be said to aptly name 

the major miracle the Archbishop 

Rummel theatre program became for 

hundreds and hundreds of students 

under Chuck Guajardo’s direction.” 

The first “Meet the Coaches” at Archbishop Rummel High 

School was held Thursday, September 18th in the Raider 

Room. Sponsored by the Alumni Association and the Saints 

Hall of Fame, the evening included introductions of all Raider 

coaches by Athletic Director Phil Greco, plus closing comments 

by Principal Thomas Moran. The evening included much 

anticipation of the upcoming athletic programs.

Raiders Serve the Community 

Faith, community, and service are the 

LaSallian hallmarks of the Brothers 

of the Christian Schools and of 

Archbishop Rummel High School. In 

order to better serve the students, 

the school community, and the 

surrounding community, Archbishop 

Rummel High School has implemented 

a service program beginning with the 

2008-2009 school year. 

Heading this program is Service 

Director Mr. Mark Firmin, ‘84. Each 

grade level is required to serve a 

set amount of hours per year in the 

surrounding community. The program 

begins small with the 8th and 9th 

graders serving 10 hours; builds to 

the sophomores serving 20 hours, 

the juniors serving 50 hours, and the 

seniors serving 20 hours. Mr. Firmin 

has contacted over 60 service partners 

to connect the students to as many 

service experiences as possible. 

KaBoom Playground 

at St. Michael’s Special School 

On Saturday, November 22nd, 

members of the Raider community 

combined with St. Michael’s Special 

School, AmeriCorps, The Irish Channel 

Saint Patrick’s Day Association, and 

Tulane University to help build a 

KaBoom Playground for St. Michael’s 

in Annunciation Square Park. Over 

50 students helped to assemble 

playground components, build 

benches and tables, paint sidewalk art 

and murals, plant trees and gardens, 

cement the benches and tables in the 

ground, and combine playground 

components. 

“It was a great learning experience to 

give back to the community, especially 

when the students at St. Michael’s will 

be able to play on the new equipment,” 

commented sophomore Anthony 

Christina. “It was fun to meet new 

people from the AmeriCorps and to 

work along with them. It was a great 

feeling of accomplishment when the 

project was finally complete.” 

Magnolia School 

Senior Justin Mattio spends his Tuesday 

afternoons bowling with Nathan, a 

student from Magnolia School, at 

Colonial Bowling Lanes. Nathan is a 

25 year old student from Magnolia 

School who has speech and physical 

disabilities. 

“Bowling with Nathan brings out my 

true self. He makes me a better person 

every time I am around him,” said 

Mattio. “I enjoy helping him to forget 

about his challenges while we are on 

the lanes together.” 

The partnership between Nathan 

and Mattio is one of many that 

Magnolia School hopes to develop 

with Archbishop Rummel High 

School students. They hope that the 

partnership between Mattio and 

Nathan will help Nathan to develop 

and train a bowling team for the 

Special Olympics. 

Animal Rescue New Orleans 

Kenny Cadow is a freshman at 

Archbishop Rummel and one of many 

students volunteering at Animal 

Rescue New Orleans. These students 

volunteer their time to help walk, feed, 

bathe, and play with the many dogs 

and cats that have been rescued from 

the streets of New Orleans. 

Cadow, along with freshman Brandon 

Campbell, have experienced animal 

abandonment first hand. One day while 

they were working at the shelter, a man 

pulled up in an SUV and threw two 

dogs out of the car. The shelter workers 

collected the dogs, fed them, treated 

them, and placed them in the shelter. 

“It was really sad to see the dogs thrown 

out like that. I like to help the dogs and 

get them ready for homes. It really is 

fun to take care of them,” said Cadow. 

The two freshmen enjoy their time 

spent there so much that the shelter 

named the two dogs Kenny and 

Brandon. 

Jo-Jo’s Hope 

Jo-Jo’s Hope is a group created to teach 

special needs kids and adults how to 

swim. Archbishop Rummel students 

have volunteered many hours and 

spent many days training in order to 

commit to this program. 

“It has been so much fun teaching 

the kids how to swim. In case of an 

accident, these kids can now save their 

own lives,” said senior Beau Zeringue. 

The non-profit group runs the program 

from Elmwood Fitness Center on 

Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. 

Many students visit the pool on 

Sundays, but the swim team takes the 

lead on Mondays and Wednesdays. 

“Most of the students keep coming 

back to teach swimming even though 

their service hours are complete. It is 

just fun while still giving back to the 

community,” continued Zeringue. “I 

could not have picked a better service 

partner for my project.”

Senior Rings 

Members of the Senior Class of 2009 

received their class rings on Saturday, 

August 23rd at St. Rita Church in 

Harahan. Fr. Frank Giroir, ’73, celebrated 

mass for the seniors and their families. 

Later that night the ring-bearing seniors 

showed off their new class symbols at a 

dance in the Raider gymnasium. 

Twenty-five students who received all A’s on their first nine weeks report cards were 

treated to a noontime lunch at Impastato’s Restaurant in Metairie. The students were 

bused to the restaurant and had a full menu, including Chef Joe Impastato’s famous 

Fettuccine Alfredo. The students had appetizers, salad, a choice of entrees, and dessert 

before heading back to school to finish the day. Each quarter Rummel Renaissance 

provides a lunch for students who earned straight A’s on their report cards. 

8th Grade Retreat 

On Friday, October 10th, the 8th grade students learned more about what it means to 

be a member of the Body of Christ and a Rummel Raider at the 8th grade retreat. Held 

at Christian Brothers School in City Park, the theme of the retreat was from Romans 

12:5, “Many parts, one body ”. Mr. Michael Begg spoke about Archbishop Joseph 

Francis Rummel. Alumnus from the class of 1974, Brother Tim Coldwell FSC, Provincial 

of the Christian Brothers’ New Orleans-Santa Fe Province informed the students about 

the LaSallian tradition at Archbishop Rummel High School. And Fr. Pat Wattigny 

challenged the students to be faithful members of the Body of Christ. The student 

ministers guided the small groups, Courtney Brown ’98 led the music, and the teachers 

assisted at what was an evening of faith, community and service.

Alumni Spotlight 


Matt Bullinger 

Matt Bullinger, ‘74 

Mention the name “Bullinger” to any Archbishop 

Rummel High School baseball aficionado, and he 

or she will know that your reference is to stellar 

baseball performance. School historians can 

identify three members of this Raider baseball 

family who are not only alumni of the school but 

also alums of professional baseball. 

“My cousins, Jimmy, ’83, and Kirk, ’87, followed 

me as members of the Raider baseball team and 

then pitchers in the majors,” said Matt Bullinger, 

’74, National Account Manager for the Canadian 

National Railway in Bloomington, IL. 

With great pride he remembers his high school 

days on Severn Avenue, particularly his baseball 

career. 

“In 1974 I was team captain and we were the very 

first Rummel team to win the state championship 

in any sport,” he remembered, “and we went on 

to finish in third place in the American Legion 

World Series.” 

Bullinger credits his coach, Larry Schneider, 

as being influential to him in his baseball 

performances. He said that Schneider was the 

field manager for the Raiders. 

“We all learned so much about baseball from 

Coach Schneider. He had his own style and it was 

obviously successful,” he said. 

Former head baseball coach Larry Schneider 

remembers Matt Bullinger quite well. 

“Matt was such a leader on the field. He was 

spirited, had a great attitude, and was always 

upbeat with the other players and coaches. 

He was a great addition to our team,” Coach 

Schneider added. 

This ’74 alum also mentions former assistant 

coach George Ryan as having a profound impact 

on his life. He said that Ryan was always the 

first person to congratulate a player after a good 

play or to give encouragement after a poor 

performance. 

“It’s difficult to single out individuals because all 

of the Rummel coaches were always so positive 

and so enthusiastic back then. Our programs 

were young and everyone was just upbeat and 

positive with the players,” he said. 

When he received his diploma in 1974 at the 

New Orleans Municipal Auditorium, Bullinger 

said he was happy with his decision to become 

a Raider. He said that he felt great affection for 

this young, suburban school and left with great 

respect for his principal, Brother John Fairfax, 

FSC. 

“What can I say about that man? He was our 

leader and made sure everything was done right 

at school. He was such an inspiration to all of 

us. He was everywhere in spite of his handicap. 

We couldn’t get over how he knew everyone’s 

name and family.” 

Brother John Fairfax responded, “I am sure that 

I got to know Matt when he was a freshman. 

He was a friendly and engaging young man 

and a leader. I was very proud of his success as 

a baseball player. I am not surprised that he has 

had such a successful career beyond athletics.” 

After high school he received an athletic 

scholarship to a junior college in Alabama and 

then transferred to USL (now UL Lafayette) 

for his junior year. Before he could graduate 

he was drafted as a free agent by the Cleveland 

Indians baseball team and played with their 

farm club for three years. Then he spent two 

and a half years with the New York Mets and 

finally a half season with the Cincinnati Reds. 

“In 1984 I retired from professional baseball 

with no regrets and many great memories 

and spent the next five years working in New 

Orleans and Lafayette. In 1989 I signed on as 

a coach at Delgado while I finished my degree, 

something that I knew I would return to once I 

retired from baseball,” he explained. 

Bullinger received his BS in Business from USL 

and continued to coach baseball and basketball 

for the Dolphins until 1994 when he received 

a sales opportunity with the Illinois Central 

Railroad in New Orleans. 

“At the Illinois Central, I was the go to person 

with all the customers and I quickly built up a 

large customer base,” he said. 

As a sales manager, Bullinger maintained 

business with established customers, explored 

new business opportunities, provided railroad 

rates to customers, managed the movement of 

railroad cars, and handled collections, billings, 

and disputes. 

In 1998 the Illinois Central Railroad was 

bought out by the Canadian National Railway 

and he was named National Account Manager 

and moved to Bloomington, IL. 

“I had to move up north because of my large 

customer base and I’m happy that the move 

has worked well for me and my family,” he 

explained. 

In 2005 and 2006, Bullinger was named 

Salesman of the Year in the USA and Canada 

because of his portfolio of customers. His 

customer sales value went from $60 million to 

$120 million, and then to $180 million. 

He and his wife Karen have been married for 

30 years and they have two daughters. They are 

Aimee, 27, who works in Bloomington, and 

Laura, 21, a student at UL Lafayette. 

Although he has been most successful in Illinois, 

Bullinger and his family are anxious to return 

home. He said that he has been speaking with 

CN officials about moving somewhere along 

the Gulf coast, possibly Mobile, New Orleans, 

or even Baton Rouge. 

His parents, Fred and Amanda Bullinger, 

still reside in Metairie and he tries to visit as 

much as possible. He credits his father as the 

inspiration for his love of baseball. 

“My dad was my major influence in baseball 

because he loved the game. He umpired at night 

and I went along with him when I was just a kid. 

He taught me the value of hard work,” he said. 

His dad, Fred, and his uncle, Jim, created 

a baseball dynasty at Archbishop Rummel. 

Bullinger’s cousins, Jimmy and Kirk, both 

played for the Raiders and they, too, went on 

to professional baseball. He said that Jimmy 

was drafted by the Chicago Cubs following 

his junior year at UNO, while Kirk signed 

with the St. Louis Cardinals after he graduated 

from SLU. Both brothers played shortstop and 

pitched in the Major Leagues. 

“I cannot say enough about what Archbishop 

Rummel High School did for my family and 

me. The school and the sports program instilled 

in me a pride in working hard and a tradition of 

excellence. I had to put in lots of work but the 

benefits were worth the efforts,” he said. 

Alumnus Matt Bullinger, a National Account 

Manager for the Canadian National Railway, 

still carries with him today the lessons learned 

in the classroom and on the field at Archbishop 

Rummel. 

“I still have my Raider Pride and I try to live 

it every day on the job and in life,” Bullinger 

added. 

Brandon Venegas 

Brandon Venegas, ‘92 

Brandon Venegas receives his Harvard Law School diploma 

from Dean Robert Clark in 1999. 

“I enjoy helping people who can’t help 

themselves or who don’t know how to go about 

helping themselves,” said Plaintiff Attorney 

Brandon Venegas, ’92. “Everyone has his own 

beliefs that he’s passionate about, and I guess 

helping people is mine.” 

Attorney Venegas told of a pending case 

involving a potential client in New Iberia. This 

person’s dream home had just burned to the 

ground and he’s having major insurance issues. 

“I’m excited about working his case. If the 

insurance company is really trying to avoid 

paying him or they didn’t give him the proper 

coverage, I’ll be happy to help this man rescue 

his dream home. We’ll see. I have to review the 

case,” he said. 

But Venegas cautioned, “At the same time I 

understand that not every plaintiff out there is 

on the level. Some people just want to work the 

system.” 

This defender of the poor is not the classic 

one-man law office, as Venegas represents his 

clients with scholarly credentials from some 

of the most esteemed institutions of higher 

learning. He credits his early education at 

Archbishop Rummel High School with giving 

him an appreciation for neighborly service and 

academic excellence, but being a Raider was not 

in his original plans. 

“When I was a seventh grader at St. Matthew 

the Apostle, many of my friends and I had 

made up our minds to go to another high 

school, but I attended all the Open Houses 

with my parents. When I visited Rummel, I was 

impressed and felt at home there. I felt some 

connection that I did not find at the other 

schools we toured,” he said. 

He mentioned Mr. Al Ferry as the main reason 

he selected Archbishop Rummel for high 

school. During Open House, Venegas was in 

Mr. Ferry’s group when they made the campus 

tour. 

“I recently sent him an email and told him that 

he was the foremost reason I chose Rummel. 

He seemed to care about us coming here. I was 

impressed how he handled the tour and he just 

wanted us to be Raiders. It worked because 

several of my friends and I chose Rummel for 

high school,” he remembered. 

As a Raider, Venegas joined several clubs 

on campus, but his primary interest was in 

athletics and especially wrestling. He said that 

participation in the program for two years 

hastened his physical development. 

“What was unique about my experience at 

Rummel and was that I was an honors student 

and stayed in the same classes with many of the 

same people, so I developed some real close 

relationships that I have to this day,” he said. 

Some of his teachers had major influences on 

Venegas. He said Mr. Ferry got him interested 

in literature and introduced him to hard books 

or books that regular people read. 

“I just liked the way he taught,” said Venegas. 

While chatting with Mr. Ferry between classes 

one day, Venegas said the English teacher told 

him to pursue history or politics as his life’s 

work. He told Venegas to see where it takes him 

because “it’s a talent that you possess.” 

Venegas also mentioned Mr. Isaac Musselwhite, 

another English teacher, as being influential in 

high school. 

He explained, “Mr. Musselwhite was 

encouraging as a performer. We would read 

books in a Southern Writers class, study an 

author like Faulkner, and then perform parts of 

the book. I took a lot of self-esteem and pride 

from that class. 

“When I began my legal career, I didn’t start out 

as a litigator. I began in corporate law, and I 

believe some of that confidence in performance 

came from Mr. Musselwhite’s class.” 

As a high school student, Venegas said he was 

very political. He was into politics, especially 

social and policy issues, and knew then that 

he was headed for a career in law. He received 

his Archbishop Rummel diploma in 1992, 

attended LSU for one semester, and then 

transferred to Loyola University. In 1995, two 

and a half years later, Loyola awarded him a 

BBA degree with a concentration in economics 

and philosophy. 

Prior to his graduation from Loyola, he 

attended a summer program in London, 

England, and participated in a class at the 

London School of Economics. When he 

received his Loyola diploma the following year, 

he considered returning to London for further 

study. 

“I knew I had great grades at Loyola so I thought 

I’d see what else was out there before I applied 

to law school. I enrolled in a one year master’s 

program at the London School of Economics 

and received my Master’s Degree in finance and 

accounting in May, 1996,” he said. 

Venegas said his study at the London School 

of Economics was a great experience that 

included 70 people from all over the world. He 

said the class membership had just one Britain, 

six Americans, and the rest from India, New 

Zealand, Australia, Japan, Norway, and other 

countries. 

“This was the first time that I was surrounded 

by the smartest people I’ve ever met. They were 

technically proficient and our studies were very 

mathematical, involving the theory of finance. 

It was pretty high level studying,” he said. 

Venegas said the program enlightened him 

about how mathematically inclined people 

think differently around the world. He thought 

the Norwegians were the smartest, based 

on how they approached problems, and the 

participants were just brilliant. 

“My experience in London prepared me well for 

law school which was not as pressure-packed as 

the School of Economics,” said Venegas. 

While in London, he began applying to law 

schools back in the United States and received 

acceptances to law schools at UNC Chapel 

Hill, and Duke, Georgetown, and Harvard 

Universities. 

“Growing up, I always wanted to attend the 

Harvard Law School because it’s the best,” he 

said, “but when I walked in that first day of 

law school, I was not overwhelmed. There’s a 

massive amount of insecurity at Harvard Law 

because everyone there has been number one 

10 

11



Brandon Venegas 

Hall of Fame 

in his undergraduate or graduate studies, but I 

knew we were all number ones, so I just relaxed 

and picked the courses I wanted,” Venegas said. 

He said he found great competition for grades 

at Harvard Law and many times battles 

developed because Venegas had better grades 

than other students had in some classes. He 

added, though, he did not feel pressure in 

securing a job after graduation like many law 

school graduates face because he was earning a 

law degree from Harvard University and that 

distinction would be his ticket to a top notch 

firm. 

“Harvard gives its law graduates a stamp that 

they are bright persons,” he said. “It’s a sense 

of inner confidence that they attended such a 

good law school.” 

In May 1999, Venegas received his juris 

doctor degree from Harvard Law School and 

accepted a position with a major corporate law 

firm in Dallas, TX. He did basic mergers and 

acquisitions in Texas but decided that he would 

rather do more securities law, so he returned to 

London in 2001 to work for an English firm. 

“I wanted to get a higher volume of securities 

law and needed to go to a large financial hub 

city. Instead seeking employment in New York, 

I decided to do offshore securities in London 

at a US securities group in an English law firm. 

Unfortunately, the market dipped and I was not 

as busy as I had hoped I’d be, but I did work on 

some very big projects,” he remembered. 

Two years later Venegas said he had tired of the 

European city and decided to return home to 

Metairie and establish his practice in Louisiana. 

“I came back to nothing actually, I just came 

back home. I had summer clerked at one of the 

big law firms in New Orleans while I was at 

Harvard Law and almost went back there, but 

I was not happy doing just corporate work. I 

decided then to go on my own and become a 

street lawyer,” he said. 

Attorney Venegas said he is always amazed how 

people think if he is an attorney, he can do 

anything. Back home, people would ask him 

to handle successions, car crashes, insurance 

claims, or some other law matters. 

“All this evolved since I’ve been back home and 

I discovered that I am enjoying this kind of 

work. In some ways, it is more pressure than 

being with a firm. Being independent, I do not 

have a boss, but I do have financial pressures in 

terms of income and expenses,” he explained. 

Venegas feels that he is helping people, even 

though public opinion sometimes believes 

that plaintiff lawyers are shysters or ambulance 

chasers. He disagrees with that label, says that 

he has witnessed many misdeeds by insurance 

and mortgage companies, and is eager to assist 

his clients. 

To explain his desire to work for the down 

trodden rather than huge law firms, Venegas 

remembered a lecture he heard in Cambridge, 

MA. Professional boxing promoter Don King 

spoke to the Harvard Law School and told us 

that we are in a unique position. 

“He told us, ‘sure you need to make money, but 

don’t forget to help people’ and that speech 

meant a lot to me then and now,” Venegas 

reflected. 

“In this business, you have to keep your soul,” 

he said. “I am extremely hard on myself, even 

when I did better than what ninety-nine 

percent of other attorneys would have done in 

the same situation. I feel a certain pride and 

have a responsibility as an attorney.” 

This Archbishop Rummel, Loyola University, 

London School of Economics, and Harvard 

Law School graduate keeps referring to the 

impact his high school made on him and tells 

of a recent 15-year class reunion. 

“What I observed and appreciate about 

Archbishop Rummel is that we, the alumni, 

know how to do more things than other 

schools. Our people are more entrepreneurial; 

they run their own businesses, whether that is 

white or blue-collar work. I respect the school 

because it has educated regular people, like 

me, and we are successful in our jobs and in 

our lives. I am so impressed how diversified 

and successful we all are today,” said attorney 

Brandon Venegas, ’92.
