But the world doesn’t let us off the hook that easily. We always have to reacquaint ourselves with the Reaper because the deaths of a parent, a child, a spouse, a sibling or a friend all leave us bereft in their own peculiar ways. So does the death of a teacher. Good teachers shape our choices and arm us with knowledge. Great teachers raise the ante: they engage with us at our core, they love us in spite of ourselves and they translate and pass along a certain magic that allows us to move through life with a sense of joy, opportunity, curiosity and responsibility. Jack “Doc” Aiello, who died on August 9, was a great teacher. Doc began teaching history at Loyola Academy in 1973. I had him twice. The first time was a lucky accident, when I was assigned to his Social Studies class. The second was by choice, when I studied AP History with him during my senior year, from 1979 to 1980. He was a deeply informed man, with a rich, sophisticated understanding of history and society. His nickname wasn’t an honorific; he held a doctorate in history from Ohio State and was proud of that achievement. He also was an exceptional, caring listener, no small feat for a man who harbored strong and variegated opinions. Beyond all of this, of course, was that Doc approached teaching as a form of performance art. He had a carnivalesque voice that blended the sound of air escaping from a pinched balloon with the cadences of a late-night comic, wedding that deliverance to an utterly ribald and wily sense of humor (this was a man, after all, whose favorite Halloween costume was a cow outfit replete with a prominent, multi-pronged udder that dangled off his waist). He quoted sports arcana and movie trivia with the brio and enthusiasm of an auctioneer. Harold and Maude, The Godfather and What’s Up Tiger Lilly? were three films I remember him parsing and plundering for one-liners. After he sat me down in a classroom for a screening of Night and Fog, the searing Holocaust docu- 1975 1976 John D. “Jack” Aiello, Ph.D. March 23, 1941 – August 9, 2010 Loyola President Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, S.J. delivers the 2010 Educator of the Year award to Doc Aiello, who was voted top teacher by the Rambler student body. above right: On this day, “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” seemed to be the break-time philosophy of Doc and his colleagues (l-r) Latin and Greek teacher M. Rebecca Wick and retired English teacher James M. O’Loughlin ’62. above left: mentary, he spent a good hour discussing its multiple horrors with me. “I realized that he wasn’t teaching history, he was teaching kids,” says Betty O’Shaughnessy, a political science teacher at Loyola who looked to Doc for pointers when she began her teaching career in 1989. “He gave me the idea that you love the kids and the academia follows. He would just walk into that room and the kids would love him to pieces — because he loved them and he made the important knowledge fun to learn.” Part agent provocateur and part mentor, Doc corralled and liberated throngs of students. Last year, they named him “Educator of the Year,” the first year in which students were allowed to vote on the award. Doc snared the prize even though his struggle with cancer had forced him to teach far fewer classes. After Doc died, a fan page sprang up on Facebook—“R.I.P. Doc Aiello”—that currently has 482 members. “It was common knowledge around the hallways that if you really wanted to learn something and you wanted to learn more than just the history and the notes and taking tests, you went to Doc,” says Sarah Hamilton, 1979 who graduated from Loyola in 1999 and is now the spokeswoman for the mayor of Los Angeles. “He dug deep into the cultural context of what was going on at the time.” Doc was a phenomenon that never lagged. Ryan Shea and three of his siblings were all taught by Doc and one of them, Erin, now teaches Spanish at Loyola. “The highlight of my day was going into Doc’s class,” says Ryan, who graduated this year and is a freshman at the University of Illinois. “It was just so much fun that you didn’t realize how much you were learning. He became almost famous in my house as the greatest teacher at Loyola.” Phil Metres, another Aiello alum from the Class of ’88 who has gone on to teach (in grand fashion as an English professor at John Carroll University), remembers how Doc ladled dollops of critical thinking into his students’ heads. “He would always approach the wars that had occurred in American history with the following formulation: ‘Okay, the war is now over. Why did we have the war?’ It was a very nonstrident way of getting you to focus on the origins and causes of historical events,” Phil recalls. “It was a way continued on page 4 1989 1997 2007 President’s Message Around the year 56, St. Paul wrote to the nascent Christian community he had founded in Corinth. He wanted to capture what it meant to be a community formed in response to the Good News of Jesus Christ. He wrote, As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ…Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it. We are Christ’s body in the world! Though many parts with varying gifts and talents, we come together to be the body of Christ on mission in this world. This corporeal imagery came to my mind recently as I pondered the life of the Loyola Academy community. So many lives over more than 100 years have been knit together to form this community. From different parts of Chicagoland and different backgrounds, a community has been formed, unified by a common mission given to us by St. Ignatius of Loyola. In his language, we exist, “to help souls.” We are an Loyola Academy President Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, S.J. presided at the exceptional Jesuit college prep school, but our mission and our community run much annual all-school Mass of the Holy Spirit on August 31.

Turn the page and we meet the Jaye and Jack Hickey Sr. ’43 Family which will be honored at this year’s President’s Dinner. Since 1919, so far 36 members of the Hickey clan have called Loyola home. The ongoing legacy of the Hickeys is a model of service and generosity of spirit. On page five, we read about some of the recent activities of the President’s Leadership Council. This extraordinary group of young alumni has breathed new life into the body of Loyola as they have mobilized to coordinate service, professional networking and social and spiritual events for their fellow young alumni. Thank you for all that you do for Loyola. Though many parts, we are one body on mission for the greater glory of God! Each year, Loyola Academy — along with Jesuit schools throughout the world — celebrates the traditional Mass of the Holy Spirit. “Simply put,” explains Loyola Vice President of Mission and Ministry Gary A. Marando, “we call on the Holy Spirit to be with all of us this new academic year. We ask that God send us the Spirit to enlighten us, to renew our sense of mission, to recognize our community as faith-based and to help us do our very best in all of our endeavors throughout the school year.” Rev. Brian Lehane, S.J. offers this metaphor of swimmers in a gentle river: “When swimmers swim against the current, they experience frustration,” he writes. “When they remain passive, they may be carried for a while. But when they swim with the current, as they come to recognize it, they are carried farther than their best efforts would have taken them. God gives the increase.” May we all swim with the Spirit. ✛ 2 Honoring a True Family for Others Loyola Academy honors the Jaye and Jack Hickey Sr. ’43 Family at the 2010 President’s Dinner for 45 Years of Support and Service I rene E. Hickey ’09 may have summed up the Hickey family’s long legacy at Loyola best in the opening lines of her 2009 Baccalaureate Mass address: “I come from a family full of Ramblers,” she stated. “As I filled out my application for admission to Loyola in the spring of eighth grade, I found the section entitled: Family members who have attended or are currently attending Loyola. My dad and I proceeded to list every Hickey or Keating that has gone to the Academy. We came to the conclusion that, as I cross the stage at Loyola University’s Gentile Center in two weeks, I will be the 32nd member of my family to graduate from Loyola.” The Beginning of a Hickey Family Tradition The family’s Rambler days began nearly a century ago at Dumbach Hall, the Academy’s first Four generations of the Hickey family will be honored at the 2010 President’s Dinner on November 5, 2010 for their enduring home on Loyola University’s lakefront campus.

We feel that we should be honoring Loyola!” ✛ “ ” F a l l 2 010 3 In Memoriam Celebrating the Life of Doc Aiello continued from page 1 of trying to locate history as something that happens to everyone and isn’t just about great men. “Someone would say something in class and he would ask, ‘Why? Why, why, why?’ He wanted us to plumb the meaning of history. And he was very open to the ironies and ludicrousies and absurdities of life.” M aude: Reach out. Take a chance. Get hurt even. But play as well as you can...Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room. Know this about Jack Aiello: during all of those years that he entertained and enlightened us in his classroom, he was going home to his wife, Patty, and helping her cope with the ravages of multiple sclerosis. Doc and Patty were married in 1966 and a year and a half later she was diagnosed with M.S. Ultimately, Patty couldn’t walk. Yet the couple still managed to raise four children together and took in several foster children. Doc was devoted to Patty, remaining her primary caregiver for nearly 20 years, until her death in 2005. John Hardt, who graduated from Loyola in 1990 and now teaches bioethics and health policy at Loyola University, remembers how Doc once spoke in class about Patty’s battle with M.S. “He told us that love is not very often what we 17-year-old boys imagined it to be, that it comes with a cost that cannot be anticipated, but that it remains worth that cost because it is ultimately the only thing that is of lasting value,” John recalls. “His life seemed to me a living witness to that claim, one that I remain grateful for today.” An exemplary husband and father, Doc was also an exemplary colleague. Jim O’Loughlin, a stellar English teacher who struck the fear of poor grammar into me and countless others before retiring from Loyola two years ago, was one of Doc’s closest friends. He said Doc reveled in talking smack with his fellow teachers but never poked fun at anyone he didn’t think could handle it. And beneath all of the ribbing, Jim remembers, was a profoundly generous and caring man. When Jim was going through a rough patch years ago, Doc took him aside to talk. “I’m sad,” Doc said. “Why?” Jim asked. “Because you’re sad.” Jim wasn’t the only colleague Doc went out of his way to support. Several teachers described him as their “best friend” and he was on a first-name basis with the school’s security and custodial staff. “I’m afraid that not enough people knew his gentle and loving side because he liked to be Good Time Sam,” says Jim. “But he was a prince.” Indeed, when he was first diagnosed with cancer, Doc worried about how it might affect Patty before he pondered what it meant for himself. When he began chemotherapy, he was concerned that his hair loss would upset his students. To get ahead of that latter dilemma, Doc reached into his old playbook and invited Becki Wick, a Greek and Latin teacher, into his classroom to shave his head in front of a crowd of cheering students. After that, he occasionally wore a reggae cap adorned with fake dreadlocks to Loyola. “He always said the school was his ‘happy place,’” Becki says. “There was no one he wouldn’t consider important enough not to reach out to. He was someone who liked people and found it easy to accept them where they were.” Nothing replaces the presence and company of someone like Jack Aiello — that glimmer in the eye, that smirk, that voice, that pat on the shoulder. But in the truest meaning of the term, he lives on. He lives on in the hearts and minds of everyone who had the good fortune of being in his orbit. “Doc used to always tell us we were the future of the country and that because he couldn’t change things anymore it was up to us to change things,” notes Ryan Shea. “But I think that Doc touched so many lives that he did continue to change the world.” Hear, hear. “I don’t think he will ever be dead to me,” says Betty O’Shaughnessy. “This is a man who changed the lives of everyone he taught and everyone he worked with. He was a man for others.” ✛ Timothy L. O’Brien ’80 edits and oversees the Sunday Business section of The New York Times.

At 6:30 p.m., the animated chatter generated by scores of reconnecting Ramblers subsided as Loyola Academy President Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, S.J. (who was in Rome and could not attend in person) welcomed the group via video. After thanking Kevin W. Willer ’92 for hosting the event, he introduced the evening’s highlight: a panel discussion featuring three Loyola alumni who had achieved significant success in the business world without losing sight of their Jesuit values. “This is a wonderful opportunity to gather together, share some stories and reflect on what success means in the Jesuit context,” Fr. McGrath declared. “It promises to be a great conversation — a time for our Rambler community to share best practices, to get to know each other better and to reflect on the ways that our shared Jesuit mission calls us to great lives in service.” Moderator Michael A. Lowe ‘97, an anchor and reporter for FOX-TV’s Milwaukee affiliate, kicked off the discussion with a brief overview of the life of Saint Ignatius and how his ideas could be applied to the business world. He then posed a series of questions to panelists Edward J. Wehmer ’72 (CEO and founder of Wintrust Financial Corporation), Joseph F. Scoby ’83 (private investor and former member of UBS Group Executive Board) and Kevin W. Willer ’92 (Head of Industry at Google and cofounder of Google’s Chicago office). They discussed how Jesuit spirituality has driven their business practices and helped them lead and motivate others, as well as how the Loyola experience shaped them and contributed to their success. “The discussion reminded us younger alums that it’s possible to be successful without compromising our values,” says Lowe. “Kevin, Joe and Ed are great examples of how you can successfully navigate the stormy waters of a profit-driven culture if you’re guided by the ‘North Star’ of Jesuit values.” “I thought it was a wonderful topic,” adds fellow panelist and former Loyola Board Chair Edward J. Wehmer ’72, “because it showed these young professionals that what they learned at Loyola can be carried forward in their lives. I think the younger graduates need to know that they can succeed in a way that is representative of Jesuit values.” Kevin W. Willer ’92 did double duty as the event’s host and youngest panelist. “Even though I was one of the panelists, I learned a lot from Ed and Joe because they have more experience than I do,” he confides. “It was great to hear the perspectives of these business leaders and learn that you can be successful in business and build large organizations and be profitable, but still live the Jesuit values and be very honorable and committed and give back to the community — not just with a checkbook, but with people, time, resources and knowledge.” Timothy M. Duet ’91, who attended the event, shared Willer’s sentiments. “It was inspiring to hear that these people in high places haven’t strayed from their Jesuit values as they’ve climbed the corporate ladder,” he notes. “It’s great to know that it is possible to have a lucrative career, but also maintain a strong code of ethics.” Alumni also enjoyed the social interaction and professional networking opportunities that followed the discussion. “The fact that this networking opportunity was affiliated with Loyola made it especially appealing,” says Michael J. Zera ’05, “I enjoyed catching up with former classmates while building up my professional connections. It’s gratifying to have a group like the President’s Leadership Council working on our behalf to sponsor events like this one.” Visit the Loyola Academy Young Alumni page on Facebook to learn more about President’s Leadership Council events and programs.

Scoby ’83, Edward J. Wehmer ’72 and Moderator Michael A. Lowe ‘97 discussed the ways in which their Jesuit ideals have driven their business practices and helped them bring about positive change in the world.
