Letter from a grateful 

parent Bill Stephenson, 

P’07, ’11…

MeSSAGe FroM THe PreSidenT 

The response from the alumni 

was overwhelming. In fact, your 

support enabled us to renovate 

the Art Room, add another 

Computer Lab, support our 

programs, and enable families to 

keep their children at Archbishop 

Wood to continue their Catholic 

education. 

Welcome to the first edition of the “Viking.” 

i hope you enjoy reading about all of the 

wonderful things that are happening at 

your Alma Mater. it is with great pride 

and pleasure that we send you a magazine that depicts life 

at Archbishop Wood now, through stories and pictures from 

current students and alumni. Please pay particular attention to 

the story about Patricia Fogel, Class of 1971. 

The inside back cover of the magazine is my dream — along 

with many of you — for a much needed Sports Complex at 

Archbishop Wood. As you can see from the drawings, plans 

are underway, but i will need your help! A feasibility study is in 

progress and will be followed by a Capital Campaign. i hope that 

you will help us to realize this dream for the Vikings. 

Many of you have helped to support the Memorial garden 

throughout the years, and we send a special “thank you” to Al 

Lentz ’81 and Steve Happ ’81 for the beautiful fountain that they 

recently installed in the memory of our beloved Richard “R” kelly, 

and to Mr. and Mrs. Richard Fonash for their generous donation to 

our “Exploration 21” science lab. 

The Viking community is thriving, with a freshman class of 

277 and an overall enrollment of 1,050 students. Our academic, 

athletic and activity programs are as strong as ever. Our Class 

of 2011 received over $19 million in scholarships and grants. 

This school year Wood has seventeen neumann Scholars, two 

national Merit Semifinalist, five Commended students, and 

twelve Diocesan Scholars. Furthermore, sixty of our students 

currently receive three college credits each through our Dual 

Enrollment Program with Bucks County Community College. 

Our athletic and activity programs speak for themselves, with 

two State Basketball Championships, five PCL Champions, 

eight District Xii Champions, 125 All Catholic Athletes, 

sixteen All State Athletes, seven members of All Catholic Band 

and Chorus, a Marching Unit State Championship, and the 

RoboVikings victory in the Regional Robotics Championship 

for the first time. 

The accomplishments of our Vikings go on and on, but 

without you, the Alumni, many things would not be possible. i 

would like to take a moment and say thank you from the bottom 

of my heart for the support that you have shown for your Alma 

Mater during the Viking Fund Drive. The response from the 

alumni was overwhelming. in fact, your support enabled us to 

renovate the Art Room, add another Computer Lab, support 

our programs, and enable families to keep their children at 

Archbishop Wood to continue their Catholic education. i 

thank all of you for your contributions, and i hope that you 

will continue to support Archbishop Wood. if you could not 

contribute last year, hopefully you will consider your Alma Mater 

this year. With your continued support, we can work together to 

ensure the good news of the Archbishop Wood Vikings. 

Finally, thank you for everything, and may god Bless you 

and your families! Enjoy the magazine, and see you soon! 

Sincerely yours, 

Gary V. Zimmaro, Sr.

hanna is a Great Inspiration for All of Us 

A Glowing Letter of Recommendation for Hanna Schoenleber ’12 

Hanna Schoenleber will be a twelfth grade student at 

Archbishop Wood in September. i have known Hanna since 

her 9th grade year at Wood. i came to know her because 

she suffers from Arthritis. My knowledge of Hannah did not come 

because she needed special accommodations but rather because she 

would never accept special treatment. 

At the beginning of her sophomore year, Hanna approached me 

about an idea that she had. Hanna mentioned that she was often 

in great pain but that her friends, both close and casual, did not 

understand what it was like to suffer as she did and they especially 

did not understand when one day she was in pain and the next day 

she was fine. Often Hanna felt that her fellow students perceived a 

desire for attention. Hanna’s plan was to make a presentation to our 

9th grade students through an ongoing orientation program we have 

called Wood 101. Her goal was not to gain sympathy for herself but 

rather to raise the awareness among students of those around them 

who are different because they cannot do everything that the other 

students can do or that what they can do one day, they cannot do on 

another day. 

Hanna arranged to have representatives from the 

Juvenile Arthritis Foundation come to school and along 

with these representatives Hanna presented her story. 

The program was so successful and well received that 

we asked Hanna to again present to our current 

freshmen. These presentations were given over two 

days to seven different groups. At the conclusion 

of the year-long Wood 101 program the students 

were asked to write about which presentation they 

found most beneficial. Many students listed Hanna’s 

presentation on Arthritis as the best. Their comments 

included: 

• “…because it was informative, beneficial and not 

boring. The speakers were able to get their point 

across without boring me and making me ignore 

what they were saying.” 

• “…because it was fun personal and informative.” 

• “it was educational, got us involved and fun.” 

• “…it was fun and i learned about something 

my mom has.” 

• “i learned a lot on how it affects everyone no 

matter how old you are.” 

• “it was amazing meeting a girl almost my 

age going through all that.” 

• “…because i thought it was interesting to 

learn about the body and it runs in my 

family.” 

• “it makes us realize how we should help 

those who are affected by it.” 


While these evaluations are those of 9th grade students, it is 

important to note that these comments were written three months 

after the presentation was made. The students remembered what 

Hanna said and more importantly, they learned about how arthritis 

affects other people. 

in addition to working with our school community, Hanna is very 

involved with the Juvenile Arthritis foundation. Last year Hanna 

was the Teen Honoree for the Arthritis walk. This past school year, 

Hanna organized a team of Archbishop Wood students to participate 

in the annual walk to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation. 

She has also served as the Master of Ceremonies for the national 

Juvenile Arthritis Conference. 

Within the school community, Hanna is also a member of our 

Peer Leaders group which works with student in our school and 

the local elementary school to address Drug and Alcohol concerns. 

Hanna is also involved in our Community Service Corps. She is an 

anchor on our morning news program and has had significant roles 

in our school shows and sings with our choir. 

Hanna accomplishes all these things while carrying a rigorous 

course of study which next year will include two Advanced 

Placement classes and a Dual Enrollment class. Hanna is a 

first honor student and ranks in the top half of the class. 

Hanna is a great inspiration to all of us. She never lets 

her disability get in the way of her goals. She does not 

complain, nor ask for special treatment. Most people 

would have no idea of the challenges Hanna faces if 

it were not for her desire to help her fellow student 

accept those around them who suffer from any type 

of disability. 

When i review the achievements which qualify a 

nominee for this award i see Hanna Schoenleber as 

a perfect candidate. The most obvious qualification 

is in her School/Community Leadership and 

Volunteer Work but her participation in peer 

leaders helps in conflict resolution, her work in the 

school plays and our chorus is examples of artistic 

expression which promote an understanding and 

acceptance of people who suffer from a debilitating 

disease. Hanna’s work with the 9th grade students 

not only helped bring an understanding of those who 

suffer from arthritis but also served as friendship 

building. 

it is with great enthusiasm and conviction 

that i put the name of Hanna Schoenleber into 

consideration for the Young Heroes Award.

Pilot Science Program now At Wood 

Archbishop Wood is the first secondary school in the 

country to offer the “Exploration 21” Lab, a unique, 

computer-based curriculum. This program can be offered due 

to a donation from richard Fonash ’82. Rich provided the 

funds to furnish “the science lab of the future” in memory of 

classmate daniel deever ’82.

Student Athletes give Back to the Community 

Over the last several years Archbishop Wood athletes have 

participated in the “Athletes Helping Athletes” program in 

conjunction with the Special Olympics of Bucks County. Here is a 

great story about Colin Thompson ’12 and his relationship with John 

Shulby (reprinted with permission of ESPN). 

The measure of Archbishop Wood High School’s Colin 

Thompson as a football player is a big one. He’s 6-foot-4, 255 

pounds and ESPnU’s no. 1 tight end in the class of 2012. But 

the measure of Colin Thompson as a young man is even bigger, a 

fact to which kathy Shulby is only too happy to attest. Shulby’s son, 

John, has Down syndrome. John met Colin when they were in the 

eighth grade at Holicong Middle School in Doylestown. Colin was 

assigned to be John’s buddy at a track meet to ensure he got to all of 

his events safely. 

“That was the beginning of a friendship that has blossomed,” 

kathy Shulby said. Despite Colin transferring out of Holicong and 

then going on to a different high school than John Shulby, the two 

remained close. “it brings tears to my eyes,” kathy Shulby said. “it’s 

been a wonderful journey for John, Colin and our family.” 

Tight end Colin Thompson has modeled his game after nFL 

stars Jason Witten and Jeremy Shockey. The Shulbys followed 

Thompson’s football career and went to his games. They befriended 

his parents. Archbishop Wood High School started a program called 

Athletes Helping Athletes, and Thompson took an active role. John 

Shulby became honorary captain of the Vikings football team. “John 

goes on the field and participates in the coin toss with the captains,” 

kathy Shulby said. “They play golf together. it’s a friendship that we 

never expected, and it’s one of the best things to ever happen to John. 

it’s not just the friendship and acceptance with Colin that’s so great, 

but also with his teammates. it’s truly been an unbelievable and 

wonderful experience.” 

Colin said he gets just as much of a boost from John as John does 

him. “John is one of my best friends,” Thompson said. “He is an 

inspiration to myself and our football team to be better people. He is 

a great kid, and he will do great things in life. i love him. He’s a big 

part of my family and our football family.” 

none of this is surprising to Steve Devlin. The Archbishop 

Wood coach encourages his players to be active participants in the 

community. “We do a lot as a team,” Devlin said. “i want our players 

to realize just how fortunate they are, and i want them all to do 

some big things out there. They all need to make an impact, and you 

can see the happiness they bring to other people. it’s life changing. 

Each year we always take on an organization and help out. We have 

done Special Olympics, leukemia. We have done camps for those 

organizations. it’s been a great experience for everyone.” 

Devlin expects Thompson, one of his team captains, to take 

a lead role on the field and off. “Colin and John have a unique 

relationship,” Devlin said. “John is such a great kid. it touches 

your heart to see those two together.” Thompson grew up playing 

baseball and hockey in addition to football. But he knows what he 

does best, which is block, catch and run. This four-star prospect is a 

versatile talent. 

“i block well at the point of attack,” Thompson said. “i am also 

a mismatch in the red zone. i can catch the football. i can play in 

the slot, motion out of the backfield and play a little fullback. i am 

a complete player and my coach does a great job of moving me 

around.” 

Last season Thompson caught 13 passes for 208 yards and four 

touchdowns. But don’t let his stats fool you. 

“We spread him around and do a lot of different things,” Devlin 

said. “Colin has size and is a great leverage blocker. He has hands 

and runs very good routes. We use him in our play-action game. 

Colin is smart and very determined. He’s the captain of our team and 

has been a leader of our team since his sophomore year. That’s just 

the type of kid he is.” 

Thompson has patterned his game after a couple of tight ends 

who’ve made a big mark in the game -- Jeremy Shockey and Jason 

Witten. 

“i have always admired those two players, especially the way they 

handle themselves on the field,” Thompson said. “They are tough 

guys with great hands. They are tremendous blockers and strong 

runners after the catch. i emulate what they do. They are great tight 

ends. They were great in college and have been in the pros, too.” 

Thompson has already made his college decision. He committed 

to Florida, giving the gators a prototype tight end. But there was so 

much more for Thompson about picking UF. 

“in the end i just realized that there was no better place for me in 

the country than Florida,” Thompson said. “i visited 15 schools, and 

i wanted to find the right place for me. Florida has great football, it’s 

a great school and gainesville is a great town. Florida is the complete 

package with great people. The coaching staff is highly respected. i 

have become friends with them.”

Viking Fund Exceeds goal 

Did you know that tuition payments go directly to the 

Archdiocese to cover the teachers’ salaries and benefits? 

Archbishop Wood relies heavily on the Viking Fund to help 

bridge the gap between the income from the school fees and the 

expenses to operate the campus, update technology and provide 

extracurricular activities. 

The Viking Fund helps Wood stay on the cutting edge of 21st 

century learning, while keeping true to its mission of Catholic 

education. Thank you for giving to the Viking Fund – it is an 

investment in our future. This past year the Viking Fund raised 

over $325,000 from 442 donors — a dramatic increase in from 

previous years. 

The best new is that 32 individuals and businesses joined The 

President’s Leadership Society, lead benefactors who, through 

their generosity, demonstrate a commitment to the mission of 

Archbishop Wood High School. Membership in the society is 

open to all individuals, companies, and foundations that make an 

annual gift of $1,000 or more. Annually members are invited to 

a reception hosted by the President and the Board of Advisors. 

To learn more about the President’s Leadership Society and about 

The Viking Fund, contact Tim Dunn, Director of Advancement at 

215-672-5050, ext. 227 or at tdunn@archwood.org. 

in the 2010-11 Viking Fund (formerly the Annual Fund), which 

ended June 30, 2011, the Wood community again responded most 

generously with a record $375,000 in contributions! According 

to Dan Wagner ’91, Viking Fund Chairman, “The word is out. 

People recognize the value of Wood — the strength and vitality of 

the school, its students and faculty — and they genuinely want to 

be a part of this excellent tradition.” 

Although this record-setting number is extraordinary, 

what makes Wood unique are its leadership volunteers: the 

alumni, parents, Board members and friends who give their 

time and energy to promote Archbishop Wood High School 

and its advancement initiatives. “You’re only as good as your 

volunteers,” said Tim Dunn. “i’ve never worked with a more 

dedicated and enthusiastic group of volunteers and supporters 

than those at Wood. We are indeed blessed.” 

gifts to the Viking Fund help supplement the operating 

expenses of Wood, touching all facets of campus life: financial 

aid and scholarships, teaching resources, computer technology, 

campus ministry, fine arts, extracurricular activities, and 

athletics. “When we ask people to support Wood by making a gift 

to the Viking Fund, we are asking them to invest in the future of 

Archbishop Wood High School. An investment of this type is not 

only critical to our ability to keep a Wood education excellent and 

affordable — but it is also the truest measure of Wood’s value,” 

said gary Zimmaro, Wood President.

Building for the Future — Endowed 

Scholarship at Archbishop Wood 

Archbishop Wood has a long tradition of providing tuition 

assistance to qualified but financially challenged students. 

Since the school’s foundation in 1964 many gifts have been 

made by alumni, parents and friends to fund these need-based 

scholarship awards. These gifts have helped support the 

education of hundreds of Wood students over the years — a 

Catholic education that literally would not have been possible 

without scholarship assistance. 

Scholarships gifts to Wood are placed in the Viking 

Educational Trust Fund. Each year the income generated 

through the investment of our endowment along with annual 

gifts underwrite the tuition of needy students. 

Currently, the balance in the endowment is approximately 

$300,000. From gifts and interest on this money, we are able 

to make awards of about $15,000, only 5 % of our total financial 

aid budget. The remainder needed for financial aid must come 

from annual fund gifts and special events revenue. ideally, 

endowment should provide for at least 50% of scholarship 

expenditures. Schools with healthy endowments can provide 

substantial financial aid. 

To endow a scholarship for one student for one year costs 

approximately $50,000. Most existing scholarships generate 

smaller awards. A scholarship can be established either through 

a one-time donation or donations over a period of time. The 

scholarship can be in the name of the donor or named in 

memory of a loved one, teacher, classmate, friend. etc. 

While unrestricted gifts to the Viking Fund are critical to 

sustain current operations at the school, gifts may also be 

restricted to the Viking Educational Trust Fund. We must grow 

our endowment significantly to provide a strong future for 

Archbishop Wood. To set up a named scholarship fund contact 

gary Zimmaro, President (215) 672-5050.

Viking Fund Makes Capital improvements Possible at Wood 

This past summer saw a number of improvements around 

the school campus including a new second State of the 

Art Computer Lab, a new Art Room, and an outdoor Fountain 

in the courtyard dedicated to legendary Wood faculty member 

Rich kelly. in addition new boilers were installed replacing 

the original boilers from the 1960’s and all new lighting was 

installed to illuminate the building at night along York Road. 

These are on top of the improvements last year to the 

school which included a new music lab, new paving along 

the school driveways. Your generosity and support of the 

school’s “Viking Fund” have helped to make all of these 

capital projects possible. Thank you for your support of

Pat (Whelan) Fogel ’71 Leaves a Lasting Legacy to Wood 

When Pat (Whelan) Fogel ’71 passed away a 

year ago, she left a bequest of more than 

$40,000 to Archbishop Wood High School. But 

for those who knew her during her days at Wood, 

the real legacy is the memories that “Whelan” 

created during her high school days. 

Pat is remembered as someone who was at 

once shy yet funny, zany yet extremely bright. A 

winner of the Latin Award in her senior year, Pat 

also excelled at german, was a twirler for Wood’s 

award-winning band, and worked at the long gone 

Bucks County Drive-in.

“Whatever Pat did, she threw herself into 

it 1000%,” classmate gail (Roney) Mallett 

remembers. “Whether it was securing the 

Mission Banner by selling cupcakes for her 

homeroom every month, or being the first (along 

with kordelski) girls in the Catholic (or any 

other) League to twirl fire at a football game, 

Whelan would not back down. 

She was a wonderful, shy, brilliant, generous 

and funny person. i will never think of her 

without smiling.”

Current Parents & 

Parents of Alumni 


We remain so very grateful to our parents who actively support our mission here at Archbishop Wood. In addition to fulfilling their tuition 

obligations, many current parents volunteer in the Parents Association, booster clubs, in the athletic and fine arts departments as well as in the 

Advancement Office, over 20% have donated this year which enables Wood to continued being one of the top schools in the area. We are also 

grateful to the Parents of Alumni who continue to support Wood even thought their children have graduated.

Create a Lasting Memorial in 

our Alumni Prayer Garden 

Memorialize a family member, favorite scripture, or 

saying. Thank friends, alumni, faculty or corporate 

donors who have helped Archbishop Wood maintain its 

mission of providing a Catholic education to generations 

of young people. Your message on a 9.5-by-6 inch stone 

paver will be permanently displayed in the Alumni 

Prayer garden. The $150 covers the cost of the stone 

and engraving and contributes to the garden’s ongoing 

landscaping expenses. The stones will be highlighted at 

the Memorial garden Blessing to be held at the Alumni 

Mass on Sunday, April 29, 2012. Each donor will be sent 

an invitation to the Alumni Mass and Breakfast event.

Archbishop Wood Events Center/Sports Complex 

Field of Dreams 

Taking Shape 

Afeasibility study is 

now underway for an 

Events Center/Sports 

Complex for Archbishop 

Wood High School. Anyone 

familiar with Archbishop Wood 

knows that we have been in need of 

our own athletic fields and facilities. 

Since 1964, Wood has had to beg, 

borrow and rent fields for our teams. 

Despite this, we have still had some 

of the most successful sports teams 

in the area. 

Over the years, many have 

dreamed of a facility for Archbishop 

Wood. We are hoping that with your 

support and prayers that this dream 

can be realized. As you can see 

from the drawings, a football field, 

lacrosse and soccer fields, an 8 lane 

track and tennis courts are part of 

the complex. These fields, along 

with our baseball field positions 

Wood as one of the elite schools in 

the area. The combination of our 

excellent academic reputation along 

with first class faculties will keep 

Wood competitive and vibrant in the 

future. 

We hope we can look forward to 

your support as we undertake this 

exciting project. We hope you will 

dream with us and make this project 

a reality.
