Charlie DeBlieck 56-60

Alumni DM hospitalized

We received word from Joe Hessler, Charlie DeBliecks nephew that 
Charlie was recently hospitalized at St. Peters Hospital in New 
Brunswick, NJ.  We assume he has been released by this point, but 
have no additional information. We hope he is doing well, and we are 
at his service if needed. FHNSAB...

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.
