From The Hip!
One does not appreciate the complexity of the English language until they begin
teaching a five-year old to read. I didn’t realize how difficult it was to explain
how two words that sound the same can be spelled differently. Not to mention,
how a word can have more than one meaning. A.J. and I recently encountered
one such word in the pages of Dr. Seuss.
char·ac·ter (krk-tr) n.[ME. carecter < OFr. caractere < L. character, an engraving instrument
< Gr. charattein, to engrave] 1. the combination of qualities or features that distinguishes one person,
group, or thing from another 2. moral or ethical strength 3. a) notable or well-known person b) person,
especially one who is peculiar or eccentric 4. a) person portrayed in an artistic piece, such as a drama
or novel b) characterization in fiction or drama 5. mark or symbol used in a writing system.
In September, Bob Peffle joined the faculty of La Salle College High School.
No stranger to La Salle, having been the Varsity Soccer Coach for the last
twenty-one years and being the father of two La Salle alums, Bob came to work
“full-time” after thirty-four years as a teacher and coach in the Philadelphia
School District. Instead of retiring from education, Bob chose to bring his skills
and experience to La Salle and, by doing so, instantly brought respect and
character to the classrooms and hallways where he roams. He joins the ranks
of countless other faculty members who do the same: Joe Ciccimaro ’57,
Joe Colistra ’64, Joe D’Angelo ’63, Pat Devine, Julia Maher, Mary Kay Mullen,
and Mary Jo Smith – men and women whose character is matched only by their
knowledge, professionalism, and ability to teach boys in a manner that would
make our Founder (St. John Baptist de La Salle) proud.
Likewise at La Salle are true characters – individuals whose unique style far
exceeds the boundaries of an educator: Lew Clark, Jerry Evans, Marty Jackson,
Diana Kelly McInaw, Frank Lichtner, Joe Parisi, and Pete Sigmund ’85 are but
a few of our teachers who continue to distinguish themselves on a daily basis
and have earned the respect of students and peers alike. All of these men and
women comprise a group known as Lasallian educators and help to make La Salle
College High School an institution of growth and diversity. Fortunately, I don’t
need Webster’s New World Dictionary to define the word “character” because
I work at a school that abounds with living examples.

In The Beginning
by Eric C. Stone ’11
In the beginning, I saw a tower slowly appearing on the hill. In the beginning,
I saw the emblem that represents love and learning. In the beginning, I saw my
intellectual and spiritual home for the next four years. In the beginning, I saw
La Salle.
I first saw La Salle when I went to summer camp. I was only seven years old,
but I loved everything about it. The teachers and counselors were fun to be
around. I knew then that I wanted to attend La Salle.
Orientation day was an experience that truly welcomed us to La Salle. When I got
out of the car, I was greeted by warm “hellos“. Mr. Marchese and Brother Richard
took a picture with me, while a cheerful Brother James stood behind the camera.
The band welcomed us with songs, while the ladies in the Main Office greeted
us with smiles. In homeroom, we were all awaiting our instructions so we could
start as soon as possible. After taking a tour of the campus and getting our
ID photo, we made our way into the auditorium for a liturgy and some welcome
speeches. All of the administrators who spoke gave a clear message of what the
true La Salle Gentleman was supposed to be. It was truly inspiring and gave us
the energy to learn the Alma Mater from Mr. C (Joe Ciccimaro). After a couple of
tries, we finally achieved the volume that he was hoping us to reach. After that,
we went outside to plant our class tree. It was a long walk, but it was worth the
symbolism that gave all of the points mentioned by the speakers an image. As
Orientation Day came to an end, it gave the entire freshman class hope for the
first day of classes. So, we, too, can grow into a true Lasallian.
As I come to a close, I’d like to think that my journey up that hill has just
begun. As I understand more and more what a true Lasallian is like, I take
one more step up that hill. Right now, I see the great reward ahead of me,
the distinguished, proverbial tower that is achieving all that makes you a
La Salle Gentlemen.

New Rowing Coach
To Appalachia and Back
Christopher J. Doyle ’69 was hired in September as the Head Coach of Rowing.
Chris was a three-year varsity letterman and a Scholastic National Champion
while at La Salle. He is extremely active on the Masters rowing circuit, and has
won dozens of Masters National Championship medals, including captain of the
winning quad in the age 50+ category at last year’s FISA World Masters Regatta.
Chris has been living in the New York City metro area for the past sixteen years,
where he was an executive with Mercedes-Benz USA. He was a Trustee of Nereid
Boat Club, and the Director of Rowing Programs, in which he supervised five high
school programs. He was the Varsity Crew Coach at Ridgewood High School and
is now an active member of Whitemarsh Boat Club in Conshohocken, PA.
From June 9-15, 2007, fifteen students, along with Tom Devlin ’00 and Lew Clark,
immersed themselves in the culture, labor, and environment of Eastern Kentucky.
The team’s mission was to work on repairing and building homes for impoverished families in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity in Phelps, KY.
Building Bridges of Solidarity
Back On Top Of The Leader Board
Once again, a group of young Explorers headed to South America in an effort
to spread the Lasallian spirit in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The boys helped to build
schools, spent time with children and burn victims at a a public hospital, and provided food and clothing to those in need. Donations of food, clothing, and supplies were collected by the group, transported to Bolivia, and donated to public
clinics, orphanages, and the villages of Vila-Vila, Zorochi, and Pirhuas.
After going undefeated through the league schedule, the Golf Team captured
their eleventh Philadelphia Catholic League Championship in the last thirteen
years on Monday, October 1, 2007 at Center Square Golf Club. The Explorer’s
team total of 456 was 34 strokes better than second place Monsignor Bonner.
The victory was a redemption of sorts for the Explorers who lost by two strokes
in last year’s championship. In addition to the team title, all eight members of the
La Salle team gained All-Catholic honors, including junior Kevin Genuardi who
shot a 3-under par 68 and finished in first place.
Freshman and Fathers Branch-Out
Cross Country Wins Fifth Consecutive Championship
Under the guidance of first-year coach Greg Bielecki ’99, the Cross Country team
captured their fifth consecutive Philadelphia Catholic League Championship on
Saturday, October 27, 2007 at a muddy Belmont Plateau. The Explorers had five
runners finish in the top fifteen and were led by Dan Lowry who finished first
overall. La Salle swept all three championships by winning the Junior Varsity and
Freshman races.
On October 16, 2007 the entire Freshman Class, almost 200 fathers, and over
twenty faculty/staff members traveled to twenty-two different service sites in
the Philadelphia area for Freshman Branch-Out Day. The theme for the day was
beginning the Lasallian journey of faith, service, and community. All told, the
volunteers contributed over 1,600 hours of service to the organizations which
included Catholic grade schools, food banks, nursing homes, and salvation army
centers.

back for traditional alumni events. The solution? Take La Salle to
New York!
After hosting a few Alumni receptions in Manhattan, a few committed
alumni raised their hands to our request to organize a formal New
York Roundtable. The purpose of the Roundtable is to provide a
forum for sharing important developments at La Salle and to serve as
a catalyst to help plan future New York-based events. In many ways,
they are serving as an extension of our Board of Trustees as they
channel ideas and suggestions back to the Board for consideration.
Pete Scola ’92, Managing Director at Wachovia Securities, who
volunteered to serve as the group’s chair, hosted the first New York
City Roundtable in November of 2006. Since that inaugural event,
the group has met three subsequent times during 2007. From an
outsider’s vantage, it has been interesting to hear the personal stories
– where they came from, what a Lasallian education meant to them,
how La Salle impacted their professional lives, what they would like to
see for La Salle’s future. Everyone has a different story, yet all of them
feel a strong sense of connection because of their experience
at La Salle. The camaraderie among the group, even though they may
be generations apart and their professions as different as their
backgrounds, is pretty extraordinary. As each meeting comes to a
close, a new member of the group volunteers to host the next
gathering – a true indication that they enjoy each other’s company
and their Wyndmoor visitors.
The social connection is only one aspect of this group. They are
adamant that their mission extend beyond the social connection and
have taken on the task of defining objectives that will ultimately
benefit La Salle and its student population.
Two such projects include: 1. a field trip for La Salle students
to visit New York as a way to promote the region as a strategically
advantageous area for students to continue their education and,
eventually, their careers and 2. a mid-winter reception with a keynote
speaker. Both events are being scheduled for the spring of 2008. If the
enthusiasm and commitment of our New York alums are any indication
of the level of success these events will bring, they will surely surpass
our expectations.
If you live or work in the New York region and would like
to learn more about the New York Regional Roundtable
or the events they are planning, please call the Office of
Institutional Advancement at (215) 233-2350. Since La Salle
is hoping to duplicate these efforts in other regions around
the country, we would welcome hearing from you should
you have an interest in leading up a similar effort.

Brotherly Love
by Walter L. Updegrave ’70
Editor, Money Magazine
Mike McCarthy, Class of 1965, knows what it’s like
to reach the pinnacle of business success in a city
that’s renowned for setting the bar high—New York,
New York.
He spent twenty-one years of his career at Goldman Sachs, arguably the
most prestigious investment bank on the planet, eventually becoming a partner
and heading the firm’s municipal bond group, where he worked alongside
such luminaries as Robert Rubin, who would go on to become Secretary of the
U.S. Treasury, and Jon Corzine, now the Governor of New Jersey.

But even as his post-La Salle journey took him from the leafy campus
of Princeton University to the halls of the Harvard Business School
to Goldman’s offices in the steel-and-glass canyons of Wall Street,
McCarthy never forgot the key role that La Salle played in his success.
“I felt indebted to La Salle from the beginning because I received a
scholarship,” says McCarthy. “It’s clear to me that La Salle led to
Princeton, which led to Harvard, which led to Goldman. And I would
never have gone to La Salle if I hadn’t gotten that scholarship.”
David McCarthy ’66
McCarthy has repaid La Salle’s largesse many times over in service
to the school’s community. He served on La Salle’s Board of Trustees
from 1994 through 2002, a period during which he and his fellow
board members concentrated much of their effort on helping La Salle
achieve its mission of providing a top-notch education while trying
to give students from families of more limited means access to that
education. He was also a co-chairman of the “Forever La Salle” capital
campaign that between 1998 and 2002 raised some $10 million,
money that has helped provide financial aid, expand athletic and music
facilities and boost support for the La Salle Annual fund. In recognition
of his service, McCarthy was inducted into La Salle’s Alumni Hall
of Fame in 2004.
“I was a year and half older and a class
ahead of him, but David wasn’t going to
live under my shadow at La Salle.”
But the project that has personally meant the most to him is the
scholarship fund that he, his family and friends established in 1999
in memory of his brother David McCarthy, Class of ’66. Although the
brothers shared an interest in athletics—both played football and
rowed for La Salle—McCarthy remembers his younger brother
as having the feistier personality of the two. “He was more willing to
take risks and engage in pranks, things like setting off the school’s
fire alarms one day,” says McCarthy. “I was a year and half older and
a class ahead of him, but David wasn’t going to live under my
shadow at La Salle.”
Mike McCarthy ’65
When David died at age 50, after a long struggle with multiple
sclerosis, McCarthy felt that a fund providing tuition assistance to
needy students would be a fitting way to honor his brother. Says
McCarthy, “I’m sure he would have said this was a great idea,
helping kids who can’t afford a La Salle education on their own.”
Although La Salle has been a major beneficiary of McCarthy’s
philanthropy over the years, it’s hardly been his sole focus. You could
even say that public service in the broadest sense has been an
underlying theme throughout his career.
As a freshly minted MBA out of Harvard Business School in the early
’70s, McCarthy did consulting work for then California governor
Jerry Brown that laid the groundwork for legislation that created
the California Housing Finance Agency. Over the past 30 years, that
agency has helped finance affordable homes for renters and first-time
homebuyers who might otherwise be shut out of the state’s
high-cost housing market.
And as he was winding down his career at Goldman, McCarthy
used his position as chairman of an industry trade group to set up
The Bond Market Foundation, a nonprofit that seeks to improve
the financial literacy of individual investors. He still serves as chairman
of the foundation, overseeing a variety of educational efforts including
Tomorrowsmoney.org, a website that provides material on everything
from budgeting to investing to managing credit.
McCarthy has also made forays into the cultural front. In 2000,
he started the Eureka Foundation, a nonprofit that funds educational
programming for television and other media. He then turned to
producer and La Salle classmate Marc Doyle (Class of 1965) to create
“Great Museums,” a series of documentaries on noteworthy museums
throughout the U.S. that runs on more than 200 public television
stations around the country. The series has been an unqualified artistic
success, winning, among other plaudits, seven CINE “Golden Eagle”
awards for high production standards in filmmaking.
Although McCarthy retired from Goldman Sachs in 1998, he hasn’t
abandoned the business arena. He develops commercial real estate in
Philadelphia, New York and Delaware with his brother Dennis and for
the past five years has been involved in launching a new venture called
VMAC, a company that does commodity trading with energy firms.
His business, charitable and cultural activities certainly keep him
busy. And then there are the usual parental demands that he and his
wife Deborah face raising their two teenage sons, Daniel, 17, and
Keenan, 15. But he always manages to find time in his tight
schedule for La Salle.
McCarthy is now a member of the recently formed New York City
Regional Roundtable, a group of La Salle alums who live and
work in and around New York City and who have distinguished
themselves in areas ranging from entertainment and the arts to finance
to publishing to law. In addition to building a tighter network of New
York-area La Salle grads so they can play a more significant role in
fundraising, the Roundtable also plans to host get-togethers with
La Salle students in Manhattan.
Ideally, the group would like to reach out to students at a time when
they’re making key decisions about college choices and future careers
to introduce them to the broad range of educational and career
opportunities that America’s premier city can provide—opportunities
that have enriched the lives of McCarthy and other alums, including
his fellow Roundtable Member Jerry Hathaway who is profiled
on pages 9 and 10.
“The plans are still in flux,” says McCarthy, “but if we can get
more grads in the New York area to reconnect with the school and
create a forum for La Salle students who might be thinking of
New York as a place to go to school or start their career, I think
we can all benefit from that.”
As important as McCarthy believes it is to get involved in public
service, he doesn’t presume to tell others what form that service
should take. “I can’t say that being involved with your school is more
important than working for a local food bank,” says McCarthy.
“But one thing I do know is that La Salle does a first-class job of
educating kids as smartly and economically as possible. So if you’re
looking for a way to invest your time or money to give something
back, La Salle is a great place to do it.”

Living A Dream
by Michael P. Dominick ’03
What is it about La Salle College High School that
keeps its alumni so active and involved year after
year? Ask Jerry Hathaway ’72 and he’ll tell you.
Jerry Hathaway grew up in a small house on D Street and Tabor Road in the
Olney section of Philadelphia, St. Ambrose Parish. With four boys under the age
of 13 and a daughter on the way, Mrs. Hathaway lost her husband at a young
age and moved the family from Texas to Philadelphia in order to raise her children
around her relatives that had settled here. Growing up in what was slowly
becoming a dangerous neighborhood, Hathaway could have easily slipped between
the cracks of the system and gotten lost among the over-populated working
class city schools. But his mother simply wouldn’t allow it.

The Hathaway Family
(left to right):
George ’69, Jerry ’72,
Evelyn, Mike ’68,
and Richard ’65, on
the occasion of the
wedding of Jerry’s eldest
son in New York City
in November 2006.
“When we got here, my mother immediately started asking around
for the best schools, and she was told about La Salle” Hathaway
reflects in a September interview. Even then, La Salle was not the
cheapest of educations, but when Mrs. Hathaway heard it was the
place to send your sons, she was determined to do just that.
“Looking back, I don’t know how my mother was able to do it.”
Hathaway’s three older brothers went through La Salle before him,
Jerry following in tow. His first year was a struggle however, and it
was not without the help of Marty Stanczak ’60 that he was able
to return the following year.
“I, along with my three brothers, was able to determine
what I wanted and figure out the means to go and get it, and
I attribute a lot of that to La Salle.” In furtherance of his belief
that La Salle was one of the pivotal moments in his life that
shaped the success he is today, he joined his three brothers,
led by Michael ’68, to establish what is called the
“Hathaway Brothers’ Scholarship Fund.”
Hathaway’s neighborhood in Olney was starting to become a tough
neighborhood when he started high school. Drugs were coming into
the area and violence started to pick up a bit. In September of his
Junior year, while standing around on Roosevelt Boulevard, “doing
no good – not doing anything bad, but certainly not anything good,”
Hathaway was attacked and beaten up, leaving him in the hospital
with a few gashes and some broken teeth. It was at this moment that
Hathaway claims he decided to turn himself around. “I thought to
myself, ’where is your life going?’ and I realized it wasn’t going
anywhere, and I needed to change that.”
Hathaway held to his promise, and soon began to thrive at La Salle.
He got himself involved with the theater program here, where he even
happened to meet his future wife, popular stage actress Ms. Kate
McCauley (a Mount St. Joseph Academy graduate). Getting in with the
right crowd and doing the right thing with his time was the best
decision he ever made, claims Hathaway.
Years later, after pursuing a Bachelors’ Degree from La Salle University
and going on to graduate from Law School, Hathaway sits in his New
York City apartment looking back on his time he spent in Philadelphia.
He and his wife Kate are the proud parents of three children, all of
whom have grown up to be stellar students and prime examples of the
determination and success Hathaway had modeled his life with. One
of Hathaway’s children is none other than the famous movie actress
Anne Hathaway, a determined individual who held a passion for
performing since a young age but never once allowed it to affect the
other aspects of her life. “I remember she wanted to take on a paying
position with a theater company when she was fourteen, and it was
going to be eight shows a week,” reflects Hathaway. “We told her
that she needed to realize that this would become her extra-curricular
activities, and if her grades slipped, she had to stop. She came out of
her first semester of high school with a 4.0.”
With a successful law practice in the heart of New York City on 3rd
Avenue near the United Nations Plaza, as well as a life of happiness
and excitement, it is absolutely fascinating for Hathaway to look back
at his roots and think of how far he has come. “I, along with my three
brothers, was able to determine what I wanted and figure out the
means to go and get it, and I attribute a lot of that to La Salle.” In
furtherance of his belief that La Salle was one of the pivotal moments
in his life that shaped the success he is today, he joined his three
brothers, led by Michael ’68, to establish what is called the “Hathaway
Brothers’ Scholarship Fund” – an account set up to assist young men
from the inner city to be allowed the opportunity and education that
La Salle has to offer, an opportunity that, without the help of the
Hathaway Brothers, would be unattainable. The Fund has been more
than successful and has been a personal connection for the Hathaway
Brothers (Richard ’65, Michael ’68, George ’69, and Jerry ’72) to the
school that they believe led them to bigger and better things.
“I am pleased to find out that we have just given our first scholarship
to a student at La Salle,” Hathaway comments on his family’s
donations to the school.
Life has led Hathaway to a life he had never imagined, taking him to
a successful life in New York, a family of fame, fortune, and happiness,
and a sense of roots to his old Alma Mater that is stronger than it has
ever been. La Salle College High School’s own Jerry Hathaway ’72
has taken his life and turned it around to give back to those who are
starting where he did – a true La Sallian by any standard.

Report of Annual Giving
2006 – 2007
14 Explorer Autumn 2007
Dear Friends of La Salle,
Words cannot adequately express the great pride I felt this past year as I
watched our school and our students excel in so many ways. It was certainly
a banner year for our sports teams – we captured seven Philadelphia Catholic
League Championships, which created an incredible sense of excitement and
pride among our students and school community. The glowing report we
received from the Middle States validation team for reaccreditation was cause
for great excitement and celebration among our faculty and administration.
Watching our facilities plan begin to take form as the contractors began to
prepare for the construction of a new academic wing has afforded our Board
of Trustees a wonderful feeling of accomplishment. These are but a few of the
tremendous achievements that have positively impacted our student and
parents, our alumni, our faculty and administration, and our Board of
Trustees. La Salle is, indeed, a school that is constantly “exploring” ways to
enhance the educational experience for our students.
None of these wonderful accomplishments would be possible if not for the
generosity of so many individuals from all walks of life. La Salle is truly a
diverse community of individuals who work together for the common good of
our school and our students. There exists at La Salle a belief that something
transformational happens to the students who pass through the hallowed halls
of La Salle College High School. It isn’t something one can see or touch,
but it’s there all the same. It’s something that all of us connected with La Salle
value and are willing to support, sometimes sacrificially. Whether it is
with our money, our talent, our time or our heart – we are committed to
La Salle’s future.
I am proud to share the names of these individuals with you in the pages
that follow. Each name represents a commitment to the mission of La Salle
and to its future. Each gift has touched the life of a promising young man.
Collectively, we have seen the future through the eyes of our students and
have blessed them with our caring support.
Thank you again for supporting our boys so they can become our
“Men of Tomorrow!”
Sincerely yours,
Brother Richard Kestler, FSC ’60

16 Explorer Autumn 2007
Dear Friends of La Salle,
This past year was not so much a year of transition, as was the case the year
before, but more of a time of development and growth. A number of initiatives set forth in the Strategic Plan that La Salle’s Board of Trustees developed
and refined over a number of years began to take shape, including breaking
ground on a new academic wing this past May. The new wing is the first stage
of a multi-phase facilities plan that will expand and enhance La Salle’s campus
over the next several years. It is truly an exciting time at La Salle.
As chairman of La Salle’s Board of Trustees, I can confidently report that
La Salle’s administrative team has been working diligently to make our school
the best that it can be and want to personally congratulate them and the entire
faculty for all that has been accomplished on behalf of La Salle and our
students this past year. They are the heart and soul of this fine institution and
help to ensure that La Salle continues its long-standing tradition of
educational excellence.
Equally as important are our volunteers and donors. They are the foundation
upon which all else depends. Without your love and support of La Salle, the
vision we have for our school and our students would not be possible. You
make things happen. From our parent support groups to our alumni – all play
a critical role not only in La Salle’s future but also in our leaders of tomorrow.
On behalf of the entire Board of Trustees, please accept my heartfelt thanks
for your willingness to be part of something much larger than ourselves.
Together we are building a better future – one student at a time.
Sincerely,
Al J. Gabriele

The Howard R. and Jennie Leary Grant Fund
Howard Leary, like many young men from working
class families, found himself dropping out of high
school and going to work to help his family make ends
meet. In 1931, however, Howard decided that he had
made a mistake and applied to La Salle College High
School. Although his parents could not afford to pay
the tuition, the Brothers made it possible for him to
attend La Salle. While attending La Salle, Howard
was a star football player and demonstrated his
predisposition as a leader during the two years he
served as the captain of the football team.
From these humble beginnings, Howard became one of
the most revered and respected police commissioners in
Philadelphia and, later, in New York City. A quiet and
reserved man, he rarely spoke of his past, but he did
talk about the Christian Brothers and La Salle, and how
grateful he was for the wonderful opportunity he was
given. It was a gesture of kindness that he would never
forget or take for granted.
In the years before he died, Howard Leary asked his
wife to give whatever was left from their estate to
La Salle College High School to make sure that young
men who cannot afford to attend La Salle are provided
the same opportunities that he had as a young boy. He
also asked that preference be given to the sons of fire
fighters and police officers. To honor her husband’s
wishes, Mrs. Leary decided to establish an endowed
scholarship fund with a portion of their existing assets.
For the past seven years, twenty students have
benefited from the Leary Endowment. Mrs. Leary has
had the joy of seeing these students progress through
their high school years and some going off to college.
The Leary’s are providing for deserving students today,
and through a future bequest, they will be ensuring
that many more generations of La Salle students will
reap the benefits of their generosity.

Coming from the small neighborhood of Bridesburg in
Northeast Philadelphia, the name La Salle College High
School was not in everyone’s vocabulary. Although
everyone was furloughed to Father Judge, we did have
a fairly good representation from our little hamlet, at
least enough to get a carpool going. My mother, who
besides running the family business after my father
died when I was in 4th Grade, had her hands full, but
still managed to maintain her role as a great mother to
me and my older sister. Her upbringing and roots were
from Camden, NJ and our world was focused between
the Delaware River and Roosevelt Boulevard. Needless
to say, La Salle College High School was not on
our radar.
My first experience at La Salle was that of a Catholic
League basketball game. The school was a million
miles away from home, but the moment I stepped on
campus, an incredible feeling came over me from that
short visit. The school was new, so much different from
what I had been used to coming from one of the older
parochial grade schools in the city. The real difference
was not so much the bricks and mortar; rather, the
total environment which I dared to enter. I really didn’t
realize it until after taking the entrance exam, being
accepted, and finally arriving at La Salle on the first day
of school that the people at La Salle were what made
it so different! They were like family. They became my
new family. The administrators and teachers became
my new parents and my fellow students became like
brothers – the same way they remain today.
My four years at La Salle were terrific; the only problem
was that they went by too quickly. Luckily, one of my
dreams was fulfilled when my son, Joe was accepted
and became a student. The same problem occurred
again when his graduation in 2001 became another
La Salle highlight in my life. Over the past forty years,
each and every time I leave Bridesburg and venture
west up Cheltenham Avenue to La Salle, I still feel the
goose bumps and excitement as if I were still a student.
Whether I go back to La Salle for an Alumni Board
meeting, a meeting of the Board of Trustees, or just to
make a social call – it always feels like returning home.
When I think back of all of the meetings, time,
work, and financial support that I have given to
La Salle College High School over the years, it pales in
comparison to what La Salle has given to me.

The Donahue-Fitzpatrick Endowment Fund
Like many families in the era in which we grew up, our
parents raised five sons on one salary. Dad, who did not
finish high school, was a sheet metal worker; Mom left
high school early to help support her widowed mother
and became a stay-at-home mother. Although neither
of our parents finished high school, they understood
the importance of education and encouraged each of
us to always “do our best”. They saw and appreciated,
as did our teachers at St. William’s grade school, the
unique educational environment, the challenge, and
the opportunities that La Salle College High School
would provide for us. All five of us attended La Salle,
and we helped to pay half of our tuition with monies
from a paper route (the Donahue Boys had an Evening
Bulletin route in our neighborhood for over eighteen
years)! We knew that going to La Salle was very special.
Building on the values which were ingrained in us by
our loving parents, La Salle prepared us to pursue our
lives and positioned us to choose almost any career
option. Our parents sacrificed much for us to attend
La Salle. We had no idea at the time how great their
sacrifice was, and we had little appreciation of just how
fortunate we were to be in the La Salle environment, at
both 20th and Olney (the site of the old La Salle High
School), and the “new” La Salle campus on Cheltenham
Ave. As La Salle graduates, we knew we were well
prepared for the future, because of an experience that
was truly life altering.
Because we all had such a positive experience at
La Salle, we decided to establish a named endowment
fund to honor the memory of our parents and their
commitment to education. The fund will provide in perpetuity financial assistance to qualified students so they
can pursue the same educational opportunities that
we had as young men. For us, the Donahue Fitzpatrick
Endowment Fund is our way of expressing thanks and
appreciation for the LaSallian experience.
We were taught then what La Salle young men are
taught today – “Boys will be Boys but La Salle Boys will
be Gentlemen”. Our society needs as many gentlemen
as La Salle can produce, and our hope is that, through
our gift, we will have played a small but critical role in
the lives of hundreds of deserving young men.

The John Whalen ’67 Grant Fund
John Whalen came to us in the fall of 1963 from
Immaculate Conception Parrish in Germantown. As
a member of the illustrious class of 1967, John has
been a loyal “Brother’s Boy” ever since. All of John’s
Philadelphia friends know him as “Jake”, a nickname
that came down from his father before him. For
the last 20 years “Jake” has lived and worked in the
Washington, D.C. area. The Wharco Realty Co. has been
the vehicle that “Jake” has used to find success in the
area of property management and development.
Living in Bethesda, Maryland with his wife Linda
Rabbitt, John has settled into a career that has proved
personally fulfilling and rewarding. John and Linda
have 2 daughters, Ashleigh a professional opera singer,
who has recently married and Lauren an attorney
in D.C.
Being a loyal alum and being mindful of the many
generosities extended to him as a student while here at
La Salle, Jake has stepped forward as one of the leaders
of our “Fulfilling the Promise” campaign. His help in
directing the campaign as a member of the campaign
cabinet as well as his personal financial commitment
has positioned La Salle for even more future successes.

Faculty/Staff Annual Fund
Parent Annual Fund
The 2006-2007 Faculty/Staff Annual Fund, chaired by Jerry Evans, was a
great success. Members of La Salle’s faculty and staff contributed over
$18,000 toward the Student Emergency Fund. This fund was established to help scholarship students who may find themselves unable to
pay for incidentals such as textbooks, lunch, transportation, or some
other expense deemed necessary for the good of the student’s educational experience. Thanks to the following individuals, all students have
access to the resources needed to be a success at La Salle:
The 2006-2007 Parent Annual Fund, chaired by Cathy Cassidy and
Jim McLaughlin ’57, raised over $125,000 in support of La Salle’s
Professional Development Fund. This fund helps to ensure that faculty
members can pursue graduate studies and attend programs related to
curriculum development and other special educational programs such
as formation in Lasallian mission and philosophy, which focuses on the
spiritual component of educating La Salle students.

Founder’s Gala
La Salle’s second Annual Founder’s Gala was held on
February 24, 2007 in the elegant Crystal Tea Room of the
Wanamaker Building in Center City, Philadelphia. Co-chaired
by Bob and Mary Moran and Joe and Donna Slabinski, over
200 alumni, parents, Christian Brothers and school family
joined the festivities to celebrate the life and work of La Salle’s
founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle. Proceeds of over
$60,000 have been earmarked to provide need-based financial
assistance to deserving young men who would not be able
to attend La Salle without such help.

Pension Protection Act of 2007
Are you over 70?
Are you required to take a minimum
withdrawal from your IRA?
Are your charitable contributions subject
to the pesky 2% rule?
Do your major assets reside in your IRA?
A new law presents a wonderful opportunity through December
of 2007 for individuals to utilize their IRA’s creatively to accomplish special philanthropic objectives. It took nearly a decade, but
Congress has ­­finally enacted legislation as part of the Pension
Protection Act of 2007 (PPA 2007), which offers charitably
minded individuals a golden opportunity to make gifts from their
IRA’s and exclude the amount of their gifts from gross income.
To qualify for the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement
Tax Credit Program (EITC):
• donors must be 70 1/2 years of age or older;
• transfers must go directly from the IRA to qualified charities;
• gifts cannot exceed $100,000 per taxpayer; and
• gifts must be outright. *
* Transfers to donor advised funds, supporting organizations,
charitable remainder trusts, and charitable annuities do not qualify.
Until now, individuals withdrawing $100,000 from their IRA’s
and contributing it to a charity would have had to include the
$100,000 in their income and would have been allowed a federal
charitable income-tax deduction. Ostensibly, the net result was
zero tax implication – a “wash” for all practical purposes. The
new law presents a significant opportunity for those taxpayers
unable to use some or all of the charitable deduction.
If you have any questions or to find out if you qualify,
please contact our office at (215) 233-2350.

Legendary Coach
Mixes Wins
With Metaphors
by Ted Silary
Philadelphia Daily News
John F. “Tex” Flannery ’40
1 9 2 2
–
2 0 0 7
The only things John “Tex’’ Flannery cared about more than football
were faith and family. And he absolutely loved football.
Last fall, even after being diagnosed with cancer, he would show
up almost every day at La Salle College High School to help guide
the freshman players.
Long before that, he had become a legend among the
city’s head coaches, after enjoying a fruitful playing career,
and even had met his wife because of his association
with the sport.
Flannery, who turned 85 on October 6th died on
November 4, 2007.
Such is life in the big city.
Tex won’t mind if you say that aloud. In fact, he’d be
honored. That was one of his favorite phrases, and he had
a million of ‘em. Some even made sense.
See, that was part of Flannery’s charm. He’d mix his
metaphors – “It’s all water under the dam’’ – in the interest
of providing entertainment and giving people stories to tell
for the rest of their day, week, month, year, life.
Flannery is mostly known in football circles for the
twenty-nine seasons he spent as La Salle’s head coach
(1956-84), where he posted a record of 149-115-12
in that span, winning Philadelphia Catholic League
championships in 1957, 1958, and 1960 and City
Championships in 1958 and 1960.
But before that, for four seasons starting in 1944, he was
a teacher at John Bartram and the school’s head football
coach (17-17-0), and it was in that role that he met an
Inquirer sports writer named Rosemary McCarron.
The article first appeared in
the Philadelphia Daily News on
Monday, November 5, 2007 and has
been reprinted with the permission
of Ted Silary and the Philadelphia
Daily News.
He cracked one-liners. She became his wife. Their son, Jack,
now deceased, starred for Dad at La Salle as a quarterback.
Their daughter, Mary, was a reporter for the Daily News and
Inquirer and now directs communications for the Greater
Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. Another daughter,
Kate, is Jack’s twin.
Flannery and his wife attended Mass on a daily basis. If
you mentioned you’d see him soon, he’d shoot back,
“With the grace of God and the Blessed Mother.’’ He loved
to read, especially books about politics, and offer opinions
during Sunday night dinners at daughter Mary’s house.
Among the captivated listeners was Mary’s son, John
Connors, who somehow wound up playing football for
La Salle’s gigantic rival, St. Joseph’s Prep.
“He was my hero,’’ Connors said. “He was everything
I want to be in life.
“There he was, Mr. La Salle, and I was going to Prep.
He was behind me 100 percent. My mom forbid him from
going to Prep’s practices. Of course, that didn’t work.
He always came to support me.’’
The younger grandson, Dan Connors, finished playing
just last year for La Salle.

•Retired in 1984 after
twenty-nine seasons as
Head Coach
•Legendary “storyteller”
Why is he called Tex?
As a young student at
La Salle College High School,
John Flannery read “dime
store” western novels. In the
summer of 1937, Jim Bonder,
the Head Football Coach,
spotted him reading on the
beach outside Ocean Rest, the
Christian Brothers’ Residence
in Ocean City, and called him
“Tex.” The nickname stuck
and a legend was born.
Did You Know?
Tex Flannery played on the
last football team at La Salle
College before the program
was disbanded in 1941
because of World War II.
Tex was the starting center
against Providence College on
November 16, 1941, in what
would be the last home game
played at McCarthy Stadium
until the football program
was eventually revived fiftysix years later in September
of 1997.
“When I was a freshman, my mom said he
could come watch our practices, but not go
down to the field,’’ Dan said. “He couldn’t
help himself.’’
Joe Parisi, who still holds the position, said
he was handed an envelope by Flannery
upon becoming La Salle’s baseball coach
in 1986.
Early in life, the boys realized their
grandpop’s stature.
“Inside was a one-year subscription to
Coach magazine,’’ Parisi said. “That’s how
Tex was. Very generous. He kept that going
for five, six, seven years. Took me that
long to learn.’’
“Everywhere we went, someone knew
him,’’ Dan said. “ ‘I was a tackle for you in
1963. Things like that. It was non-stop.’’
He owned the Cherry Street Tavern, at
22nd and Cherry Streets, until selling it in
1990 to brothers Bill and Bob Loughery,
former La Salle players whom he’d guided
into the business.
Flannery lived as a youth on Wade Street,
which takes up just one block near Greene
and Manheim, in Germantown. He walked
to La Salle, which then was located at
20th and Olney, and attended the college
as well. In football, as an end, he earned
first-team All-Scholastic honors (best
players in the five-county area) from the
old Philadelphia Bulletin in his senior
season of 1939.
“We still talked on a regular basis,’’
Bill said. “Tex had such an impact on my
life. He always accentuated the positive.
That’s what he was all about.’’
Flannery was also a fixture at basketball
games, and served as the longtime
president of the Markward Club, which
honors high school players.
Joe Colistra went back with Flannery to
the fall of 1960, when he entered La Salle
as a freshman. His own dad died young
and Colistra came to view Flannery as a
father figure.
Aside from his wife and children, Flannery
is survived by ten grandchildren.
After leaving teaching, Flannery sold corrugated boxes and other items to pharmaceutical companies. Also, though he never
smoke or drank, he became a bar owner.
He immediately joined Tex’s staff in 1968,
after graduating from Villanova, and
replaced him as head coach in 1985. His
twenty-one seasons produced a record of
153-88-2, along with four championships.
“The sayings. I always think of them when I
think of Tex,’’ Colistra said. “ ‘When
you win, pimples turn into dimples.’ My son
[Paul] is an assistant now at La Salle.
I find myself saying those things to him
and he’ll laugh and say, ‘Where did that
come from?’ ‘’
The viewing and Mass for Flannery will be
held at La Salle College High School on
Thursday evening, November 8, 2007 and
Friday morning, November 9, 2007.
Also, and this was decided a while ago,
the field where the Explorers hold their
freshman and JV games will be named
for him during a homecoming event
November 21, 2007.
When Flannery retired as La Salle’s head
coach, he did so by tossing his keys onto
a desk and saying, in part, “All roads bend
and all roads end.’’
For all 85 years,
what a wonderful road
it was.

Births
A fixture at La Salle College High School,
Jim Rieck graduated fifty years ago as a member
of the Class of 1957. He entered the Christian
Brothers that same year and spent his early
years as a teacher of Social Studies at Bishop
O’Connell High School in Fairfax, VA. He has
taught Religion, coached tennis, and served as
Athletic Director as well as Dean of Students. In
1984, he returned to his Alma Mater and spent
the next five years as Assistant Principal. He
then spent three years as Principal of Archbishop
John Carroll High School in Radnor before
returning to La Salle College High School, where
he has spent the last fifteen years as Director
of Admissions. During this time, applications
and admissions have been at an all-time high
and the admissions process has been brought
to a new level. He also currently serves as the
Director of the Christian Brothers Community at
La Salle College High School.
Although Brother James has been charged with
the arduous task of “capturing” students, he
is perhaps best known for capturing a different
side of La Salle’s student body. Brother can be
found at almost every event with his camera in
hand. There is not an event or team over the
years that Brother James has not chronicled with
his trusty Nikon D70 and his photos can be
found throughout our campus and in almost
every school publication. His love for photography is surpassed only by his love for La Salle.
Together they make the “perfect picture.”
Brother’s distinct connection to La Salle and
its students is perhaps most evident by his
participation in Kairos – the retreat program for
seniors. In Greek, Kairos means a “special time
of the Lord,” and for the last six years, Brother
James has made the trip to Camp Neumann
to share his own life experiences and help
La Salle retreatants take advantage of this
special time. In all, Brother has served as a
Kairos leader on fifteen different occasions.
Brother James is an avid cyclist, having participated in a number of local events including
Pedal for Prevention, which benefits Fox Chase
Cancer Center. A true explorer by nature, his
travels have taken him around the globe from
Ireland to Alaska and Hawaii to Rome. All the
time, the shutter and flash get a workout.
At Graduation in June, Brother James received
the President’s Medal (along with Marty
Stanczak ’60) and joined his classmates as they
celebrated their 50-Year Reunion from La Salle
College High School. In October, he celebrated
fifty years as a Christian Brother and was
honored at the Union League by the Baltimore
Province of the De La Salle Christian Brothers for
his service to God, the Brothers, and Lasallian
education.
