Bill Ridings 59-62
On the Mend
Bill Ridings is still dealing with a health issue that made it impossible
to
attend any of the 75th Anniversary events, much to his regret. He was
very
much missed, especially by the alumni corps percussion line. His
email is
shown above so you can send your good wishes his way if you wish.
Keep plugging Bill. You are on our minds all the time. FHNSAB...
Matty Malkiewicz 56-61
On the injured list
Matty Malkiewicz took a spill on the ice up at his New Hampshire
home
this past winter, and managed to mess himself up a little in the
process.
He was unable to attend any 75th Anniversary events as a result.
You
were missed Matty. Get well soon. Just to clarify, the rumors about
his
demise were not valid...and we are all VERY GLAD about that.

Ken Shedosky 57-61
Cadet Scholar
In May 2008, John Avella 57-61 successfully defended his doctoral thesis before a board of scholars at Teachers College, Columbia University, NYC and was awarded Doctor of Education, (EDd.) at a Univeresity ceremony in June 2008. His research endeavor covered a time span of six years and ended with the oral defense of the conclusions derived in the findings of his research dissertation. The practical applicaton of his research exposes the drivers of emotion and behavior as it relates to customer / client loyality and solidifying client relationships in business services and product sales. John is yet another example of the celebrated cadet work ethic and goal setting focus. We congradulate John for this achievement and milestone, and wish him continued success in his professional career.

We join him in his sorrow and would like him to know that 75 years of Cadets stand in support of him during this difficult and heart-breaking time. For Holy Name shall always be...

NUMBER SEVEN!
Grandchild #7 arrived March 24--his name is Michael Evan Medina--weighed 9 pounds 2.25 ounces, 21 inches long--with spiked hair--his two big sisters adore him! He's our seventh grandchild, but only the second boy--so cousin Jack, 6, is overjoyed that there's another male in the crew.
