Alumni Spotlight: 

Campbell lodge boys’ Home 

Father raymond nieman founded Campbell lodge Boys’ Home in 1958 

as a residential alternative for neglected or dependent young men. since 

its inception, over 1,500 young men have called Campbell lodge home. 

The organization provides a year-round residential facility for pre-adolescent 

and adolescent boys aged ten to eighteen. 

The lodge is proud of a long lasting and sustained relationship with 

Covington Catholic High school. For many years, all the young men 

who lived at the Campbell lodge Boys’ Home attended either newport 

Central Catholic or Covington Catholic. 

Beyond a long-standing relationship with Covington Catholic, Campbell 

lodge Boys’ Home also boasts four current staff members and two current board members who are CCH alums. Included 

in this impressive line-up is executive director Barry Jones (’91), matt lanham (’96), michael Johannemann (’98) and 

nick Dikeos (’01) and board members nate 

roedig (’91) and michael Bessler (’91). since its 

beginning in 1958, the Campbell lodge Boys’ 

Home has had at least one Covington Catholic 

alumnus serving on the board, working on the 

staff or donating to the lodge.

Michael Johannemann ’98 and Nick Dikeos ’01 

Attention All Cov Cath Swimmers and Divers: 

richard Dickmann is organizing a “swim reunion” in 2012 to celebrate 

the 50th anniversary of the swim team’s 1962 state Championship. 

every swimmer and diver from Cov Cath’s history is invited! please 

email richard Dickmann at covcathswimming@yahoo.com with your 

contact info. 

reflecting on his time working for the Boys’ 

Home, Barry Jones said, “When I started 

here nine years ago, there were only sixteen 

employees. now we have forty. The Campbell 

lodge Boys’ Home has grown and changed 

substantially, and I credit some of that change 

to the experiences that many of the staff had at 

Covington Catholic. We came to work here with 

a deep respect for an all – male environment 

and the potential that it provides to 

create camaraderie and brotherhood. 

We grew up in that environment at 

Covington Catholic and want the same 

for the boys here. We would like for 

this to be a safe place where they can 

learn to trust one another.” 

Barry also added, “We value the relationship 

that we continue to have with 

Covington Catholic. several of our 

major donors are graduates, including 

some of the young men who lived at 

the home while attending CCH.” 

CCH is proud of our history and our 

continued connections with the Campbell 

lodge Boys’ Home.

A MeSSAge FroM The PrinCiPAl BoB rowe 

Dear alumni, 

Fall is presently very much in evidence 

with the leaves changing, a chill in the air, and the 

appearance of autumn decorations. The changing 

of the seasons also coincides with the end of the 

1st quarter for our learning community. as our 

students work on their studies, foster their faith 

and make friends, the faculty and administration 

continue to find ways to improve our methods of 

preparing our Colonels for post-secondary success 

and the fulfillment of the complete faith-based life 

which lies ahead of them. It is our belief that every 

activity in which our students partake, be it in the 

chapel, the classroom, on the stage, during freeperiods, 

or on the field of play, present teaching 

and learning opportunities. These are experiences that they will 

remember and can serve as a positive influence for the remainder 

of their lives. Keeping this in mind, I thought it might be 

instructive to share with you a typical day in the life of a Colonel. 

at 7:10 am, on a Friday morning a few weeks into 

the new school year, I have just spent the last several minutes 

mingling with our students in the cafeteria area, where they 

gather to study or socialize prior to the beginning of their school 

day. I then join them in attending our weekly Friday mass in 

the chapel, where alumni, students, faculty, and parents come 

to pray together as a community. This is just one of the many 

opportunities that exist for our young men to form a closer bond 

between themselves and god. 

upon ascending to the 2nd floor I again walk among 

students, many still attached to their I-pods, hanging out by 

their lockers, interacting with each other and taking care of 

any unfinished homework that remains from the previous 

night. as I glance into each classroom I pass, it is not unusual 

to discover teachers hard at work tutoring students who require 

extra attention. I am also gratified to see many students taking 

advantage of our library/resource Center, using our new pC 

workstations to complete assignments or working on projects. 

on the 3rd floor members of mr. Krumpelbeck’s Biology 

class’ B.u.g. Club are busy at work taking care of their animals, 

learning responsibility firsthand by tending to their well-being 

and care. across the hall, mr. parrott has been teaching our 8th 

grade algebra I Honors course to our local feeder parish students 

since 7:30am, giving them a head start on future academic 

pursuits. 

The onset of a new school day is always exciting and 

invigorating, full of expectations and anticipation. It is rewarding 

to see our students so full of life. They are enjoying each other’s 

friendships as they learn together and progress through another 

day, moving closer to realizing and achieving their goals, hopes, 

and dreams. 

There is a distinct buzz in the air on this particular day, 

as the students progress through their seven courses of study. It 

is a football Friday and everyone is excited about taking on our 

neighborhood rivals, the Beechwood tigers, on the gridiron 

later on this evening. During their respective lunch periods, our 


students spontaneously break out with the school 

fight song, fueling our school spirit for later in the 

evening. 

During those seven periods I note: 

mr. Haders’ art room is one of our more popular 

and active classes. He offers constructive criticism 

and encouragement to the creators of the different 

“masterpieces” being produced over the course of 

many weeks. 

mr. Kaelin speaking german to the german III 

students and mrs. rasp working in the language 

lab with her spanish II students, both teaching 

invaluable second language skills to our students. 

CaD/graphic Design lab being utilized to 

its full potential with enthusiasm by our students 

immersing themselves in the designs they are creating. 

mr. Hertsenberg teaching our seniors the most 

important life skills – moral choices and the values of free will 

relating to real life situations. 

mr. parrott, mr. lubbers, and other teachers utilizing 

our smart board technology. These educational devices allow our 

teachers to interact with content on the board, using their finger 

as a mouse, and offer the ability to physically overwrite material 

appearing on the board through the use of digital “ink.” 

The majority of our students participate in extracurricular 

activities after school—they work on a project, prepare 

for a play, practice for an upcoming game or season. on this day 

however our students forego many of those after-school activities 

and head to Bayer and Becker engineers (Jay Bayer’s son John 

is a senior), where a pep rally, organized by our student senate, 

has been scheduled. over 300 students turn out to partake in 

the hot dogs and soda pop, while tossing Frisbees and footballs, 

before applying their war paint in support of their football 

team – it is Braveheart night!!! The rally concludes with the 

CovCath entourage, the envy of the state, demonstrating their 

renowned spirit, marching the two miles to mcnabb stadium in 

Fort mitchell, where they root our team on to victory. They are 

carrying on of a tradition passed down from one class to another - 

a big part of your own personal Covington Catholic legacy. 

This scene is, for the most part, reenacted on a daily 

basis. It is an awesome sight - the variety of students with 

different backgrounds, marked by each individual’s distinctive 

personality and interests, with the sights and sounds of a typical 

school day at CovCath. I consider myself to be so fortunate to be 

a small part of these boys’ most influential years, allowing them 

to maximize the fulfillment that you yourself experienced during 

your days here on the campus of Covington Catholic 

High school. 

god’s Blessings, 

Bob rowe


Covington Catholic seeks to be true to our 

Marianist Catholic roots and the call to 

love our neighbors. A new manifestation 

of this call will be found in the student 

Philanthropy Club, which had its first 

meeting in October. The Philanthropy Club 

comes as a result of a multi-year study by 

the Mayerson Foundation, in partnership 

with Northern Kentucky University. 

Originally intended as a college course, 

this club has now spread to high schools 

due to its overwhelming success at colleges 

and universities. The club creates the 

opportunity for students to receive funds 

which they will in turn award to a local nonprofit 

in the form of a grant. 

This year’s grant money, given to 

Covington Catholic by Mr. Dennis Doyle, 

will total $1,000. Students in the club will 

be charged with contacting, researching, 

and ultimately deciding on a local 501 

c3 nonprofit organization that they deem 

worthy to receive the funds. In the process, 

students will make site visits, invite 

speakers to come to campus, and engage 

in advanced research on the viability, 

sustainability, and effectiveness of each 

organization. Club sponsor and religion 

Covington Catholic is pleased to announce 

the launching of its first “pre-professional” 

club. The Engineering Club has already 

met several times this year and is being 

overseen by Mr. Charles Hartman and Mr. 

Ryan Lubbers, teachers at CCH. Students 

who participate in this club will have the 

opportunity to meet professionals in several 

fields of engineering, as well as architecture 

and design. Mr. Hartman noted, “We have 

so many guys who go into engineering and 

the building trades. We want to encourage 

these students to fully understand all that 

these fields have to offer. We also hope 

that more exposure will open students to 

both the possibilities and challenges of 

engineering.” 

Philanthropy Club 

teacher Rich Andolina says, “I hope this 

will be more than a way for Covington 

Catholic students to give to a local charity. 

Our vision is that these students, who 

one day will be in positions of influence 

throughout Northern Kentucky, will learn 

the benefits of philanthropy. They will 

eventually sit on non-profit boards, serve 

as directors of organizations and make 

informed decisions for the betterment of 

those who are less fortunate.” Students will 

begin their research and discernment in the 

spring of 2011. If you are affiliated with a 

Engineering Club 

Thus far three professionals, including 

two alumni, have come in to speak with 

CCH students. Mr. Eugene Rutz from the 

University of Cincinnati came to present 

engineering options available at UC. Mr. 

Ben Barlage ’92 and Mr. Ben Eilerman 

’98 came to speak about the connection 

between architecture and engineering. They 

also presented on AutoCAD and Revit, 

two popular design programs that are 

available to our students as a result of recent 

technology upgrades. 

In late October, the students were presented 

with their own design challenge: given two 

rolls of duct tape, they were asked to create 

a new product. Their creations will be 

local non-profit that you would like to be 

considered for the grant, please contact 

Mr. Andolina at randolina@covcath.org.

philanthropy program, please visit 

www.studentphilanthropy.org 

To learn more about the Mayerson/ 

NKU program, please visit http:// 

civicengagement.nku.edu/involved/ 

mayerson.php. 

Engineering Club starts strong with 23 members and alumni support 

judged by a panel at the end of the semester. 

In the spring, CCH students that are part of 

the club will have the opportunity to tour 

the University of Cincinnati and shadow 

students through a day of engineering 

classes. 

If you are interested in coming to speak 

to the Engineering Club or have an 

engineering opportunity for CCH students, 

please contact Mr. Charles Hartman at

AluMni PorTAl 

Log In to the Alumni Portal 

CCH was thrilled to launch the new and 

improved www.covcath.org this fall. 

If you have not checked it out, please 

do so! One of the most impressive new 

features is the “alumni portal” which 

allows alumni to update information 

and connect with other alums. This 

feature can be used to announce 

reunions, network, and more. Alumni 

received user IDs and passwords 

to their home mailing addresses in 

October. Please use this information 

to log in and share your latest news. 

Covington Catholic wants to keep in 

touch with our alumni, and will be 

offering even more ways to come back 

and visit the school as we renovate the 

Griffin Alumni Centre. If you need your 

user ID and password, please contact 

our alumni Coordinator annette 

restle at arestle@covcath.org. 

The Griffin Centre in need of some “TLC” 

Covington Catholic received a generous donation for the creation of the “griffin alumni Centre” in 2009, which will be 

housed in the former nazarene Church north of the CCH property. In order to make the griffin Centre hospitable for 

school and alumni events, we would like to do some tlC and ‘sprucing up.’ If you have any of the following skills that 

you would like to donate, please contact the Development office at 859-448-2247 or development@covcath.org. 

• Painting 

• Cleaning 

• Light Construction / Carpentry 

• Plumbing 

• Electrical Work 

• Ceramic Tile Setting 

a Homecoming reception at the griffin Centre was held on 

october 23, before the varsity football game. We invited alumni 

to come back and tour the building. several came through 

looking at the space and the renderings of the potential improvements 

to the facility. everyone was amazed at the size of 

the building and the potential for alumni gatherings and other 

events. Thanks to the boosters who provided food and drinks 

and the alumni Committee that hosted the event.

Covington Catholic’s marketing 

committee has launched our first ever 

‘marketing blitz.’ 

soon everyone in northern Kentucky 

and beyond will know our new slogan, 

“He’s worth it: a Covington Catholic 

education.” With private education 

increasingly on the chopping block for 

many families, this campaign aims to 

counteract that very line of thinking.

i’m worth it, he’s worth it, it was worth it: 

a Covington Catholic Education 

feeder school students began in early 

october with a postcard inviting 6 th , 

7 th and 8 th graders to “be a colonel for a 

day”. an enclosed “colonel card” is good 

for free concessions and admissions to a 

football and basketball game. 

The blitz includes a great advertising 

package with The enquirer and local 

newspapers. Half page color ads in the 

papers will help to promote the open 

house and the high school placement 

test. CCH will have internet banners 

on nky.com. The messenger, a diocesan 

publication, will carry a black and white 

advertisement. a free radio ad on real 

talk 1160am will air during university 

of notre Dame football games. also 

a donated digital billboard will help 

promote the open house. look for it at 

the 12th st. exit, southbound. all of this 

advertising is a big investment but the 

payoff promises to be higher enrollment, 

strengthening our budget and allowing 

for growth. 

We hope that this message “He’s 

worth it” also resonates with current 

students and alums. Covington Catholic 

graduates are being asked to reflect on 

the value of their education with our 

annual appeal, “It was worth it.” The 

future of Covington Catholic depends 

on the willingness of our past, present 

and future students to exclaim loudly 

“It’s worth it!”

St. ElizAbEth hEAlthcArE / 

covington cAtholic Alumni 

golf outing 

The 28 th annual st. elizabeth medical Center / Covington Catholic alumni golf outing, was held at summit Hills golf 

Club. 

For the second year in a row we sold out both the morning and the afternoon flight prior to the outing. The outing raised 

approximately $35,000 which will help support the Booster organization as well as the operating budget of the school. 

once again we want to thank our devoted committee members and the CCH moms and friend volunteers who helped to 

make this outing successful. The outing could not have happened without their help. We also want to thank our many 

sponsors. please review the list of sponsors and patronize them when you are in need of their services. Your commitment 

to this event has helped us to continue this great tradition for 28 years. Here’s to another great outing!

1958 Robert Michael Morris has been cast in the new show 

Running Wilde alongside Will Arnett and Kerri Russell on 

the FOX network. He will be playing the role of Mr. Lunt, a 

private secretary and former nanny to Will Arnett. The show 

airs on Wednesday s at 9:30. 

1961 The Class of 1961 had a grill out at Jerry Biedenharn’s 

house on Sunday, September 19th. The menu included 

some of Freddie’s famous ribs. Thanks to everyone that 

came out. It was great to see you again! 

1964 Edward J. Stambush was inducted into the Kentucky 

Firefighters Hall of Fame on August 3 in Louisville, KY. 

Stambush began his fire service career in 1958 as a Junior 

Firefighter with the Bromley Fire Department at the age of 

12. Later to be known throughout the NKY communities 

he served as “Fireman Joe, “ Stambush was noted for 

doing Fire and Life Safety Education Programs for the 

fire departments of Edgewood, Erlanger, Point Pleasant, 

Bellevue-Dayton, and Fire District One. He also led the 

KFA’s public education movement to national prominence 

during his 14 years as chair of that committee. After 52 

years in the fire service, Stambush’s commitment to the 

field of safety education has influenced many to take up this 

cause. Without a doubt, Kentucky is a safer place due to 

his effort. 

1968 Jerome Schaper, Jr recently provided the following 

information: “I retired from United States Postal Service 

on Nov. 1, 2009, after 34 years as a clerk, the last 20 spent 

at CVG Airport Mail Facility. I am spending my free time 

selling on ebay and attending antique shows, military relic 

shows and flea markets in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.”

Reunions: 

1965 

The Class of ’65 held its reunion over the weekend of Sept. 

10-11. The festivities began with a golf outing on Friday 

morning and was well attended. A stag was held on the night of the 10th at the Villa Hills Civic Center, and about 50 class members attended. On 

Sat. Sept. 11, we met at the new school for a tour of the campus given by 

Sue Finke. Our class then attended the game vs. Campbell County (which 

the Colonels won!) and we were introduced to the crowd at halftime. That 

evening we reconvened at the Drawbridge for a dinner dance with wives 

and girlfriends. About 45 couples attended and a great time was had by all. 

The waist lines have expanded, there is a bit less hair, the stories are a bit 

grander, but after 45 years, our Colonel Pride has only grown.

1970 The class of ’70 held a stag Friday, Sept 10th at Covington 

Catholic. There were about 65 to 70 alumni in attendance. 

It was great to see so many Saturday afternoon, and a hand full of the class 

attended the CCH vs. Campbell County football game. To kick the night 

off, the Colonels beat the Camels 49-14! Later that evening, there was a 

dinner at the Devou Park Golf Club House. A great night was had by all. 

There were about 50 alumni in attendance. Thanks to the committee for 

planning a great weekend! 

1975 The class of ’75 had their 35th reunion on Friday, October 

22nd , and Saturday, October 23rd , 2010.On Friday, 15 

classmates went to beautiful Keeneland Race Course in Lexington and 

enjoyed a day at the races. The weather was great and the luck was fair. 

Jockey Robby Albarado (friend of Rick Lux) joined the group after the 

races for some tailgating and pictures. On Saturday, the class attended the 

Cov Cath vs. Dixie Home Coming Game (a 40 -36 CCH victory) and had a 

party that evening at PEE WEE’s. Altogether, 45 classmates attended. 

1980 

We had a great weekend! Friday was spent golfing and 

getting together at Dickmann’s sports cafe. Saturday 

started with a prayer service with the football team. There was a victory 

on the football field later in the day to make the weekend even sweeter. 

The Colonels beat the Campbell County Camels 49-14. The weekend 

concluded with a fantastic pig roast at Kroth’s farm courtesy of Dave 

Kroth’s family. We had great attendance for the weekend. We offer a huge 

thanks to Pat McGinnis, Dave Kroth and families for a great 30 yr reunion. 

We have some commemorative cut crystal glasses still available. If you 

would like one give Greg Moser a call at 513 608 6688. 

1985 On September 11th , the class of ’85 celebrated our 25 th 

year reunion by enjoying a Colonels football win over 

Campbell County, highlighted by the chance to go out on the field at 

halftime for a class photo at the 50 yard line. After the game, those who 

attended the game gathered in the cafeteria for a post-game reception 

where we met and heard the latest on the school’s activities from Principal 

Bob Rowe. That evening, a large group of ’85 grads (and wives) enjoyed 

a Reds walk-off win from the Cincinnati Bell Riverboat Deck at Great 

American Ball Park. It was great to see everyone, as several had not seen 

each other in many years… Special thanks to Aaron Fausz for traveling all 

the way from Atlanta and to honorary grad Pat Coyne for traveling from St. 

Louis. Kudos to David Geis for sporting the C-Coat (and having it fit) the 

entire day. Most frequent comment was that many were surprised that we 

already have guys in our class who have retired! Everyone who attended 

looks forward to getting back together for the 30 year reunion, and we hope 

that even more of our classmates can join us then. 

1990 

The class of ’90 chartered a bus and went to Keeneland 

on October 9th. We had perfect weather and had a great 

time. It was great catching up with some old classmates. 

1995 

On the weekend of October 8th & 9th, the Class of 1995 

celebrated their 15-year reunion. On Friday night the guys 

gathered to watch the CCH vs. Scott football game and then continued the 

night at Pee-Wee’s, sharing some great laughs and memories. On Saturday 

night, the guys joined the 1995 seniors from NDA in a joint dinner and 

dancing event with their spouses at The Florentine in Florence. It was a 

great event DJ’d by classmate Tim Gleason; a great time was had by all. 

It was definitely fun seeing everyone again and we’re already looking 

forward to our 20-year reunion in 2015! 

2000 

The class of ’00 celebrated their 10th year reunion the 

weekend of October 23 and 24. The reunion was attended 

by 50 alumni over the two day celebration. Friday night was spent at 

Molly Malone’s in Covington catching up with old classmates. Saturday 

the alumni watched the Cov Cath football team beat the little Colonels of 

Dixie in a thrilling come from behind victory. After the game, the alumni 

enjoyed a grill out and a corn hole tournament at the school cafeteria. 

Thanks to all who helped make the reunion such a fun weekend! 

2005 


Our 5 year consisted of dollar beers down at The Beer 

Sellar in Newport. We had a fairly good turn out and it was 

great to see so many old faces. Some of the NDA girls from ’05 came over 

to join us after their celebration in Mt. Adams. Big thanks to Travis Burns 

for all of his help to make the 5 year reunion possible.

Address Service Requested 

Annual Appeal Campaign: 

October 1, 2010 – June 30, 2011 • Goal: $250,000 

This year’s honorary chairs for the Annual Appeal are the 

Summes. The Summe family sent all ten of their children to 

Catholic schools. Their six sons attended Covington Catholic 

between the years of 1978 and 1998. To do so required 

sacrifice, but looking back the Summes all agree, “It was worth 

it.” Chad,the youngest of the Summes, reflects on Covington 

Catholic: “High School is a pivotal stage in one’s development 

and sets the foundation for success. My time at CCH went 

beyond just preparing me for my next step, attending the 

United States Naval Academy; it provided me the tools to 

succeed in life...spiritually, mentally, and physically.“ 

Please consider giving to this year’s annual appeal. 

the need is greater than ever. 

100% of funds raised 

from the annual appeal 

go to support tuition assistance. 

non-profit org. 

u.s. postage 

paID 

Cincinnati, ohio 

permit no. 6207 

In the words of Mrs. Jane Summe, mother of ten and grandmother of thirty four: 

“I can’t emphasize enough how important Catholic education is. I definitely agree that it was worth it. 

We would have given up anything to afford the schools. We did it because Covington Catholic upheld what we 

were teaching at home. I would see teachers like Dan Tieman going to mass on his lunch hour, dedicating his 

life to the school, and I wanted my sons to be around men like that. “ 

Your gift will allow students with financial need to attend Covington Catholic but who cannot afford to pay full tuition to attend 

Covington Catholic. One in every nine students receives financial aid to attend CCH. Put simply, without the annual appeal, 

these students could not be Colonels. Gifts can be mailed directly to Covington Catholic c/o the Development 

office or NOW donate online at www.covcath.org by clicking the “Annual Appeal” button. 

this year Covington Catholic 

offered $240,000 in tuition 

assistance.
