2024-2025 Winter Clermont

Then, Now, Next Generation 50 Years of Women at Loughlin

“Sometimes, an opportunity comes without warning. That was the arrival of women at Loughlin because of Bishop’s closing. That event proved to be a “golden” opportunity, as women have enriched Loughlin spiritually and academically since their arrival. They are the thread woven through the fabric of our community, uniting us in our mission.”

— Bro. Dennis Cronin, FSC, President

In 1974, the first cohort of young women entered the halls of 357 Clermont Avenue as students. Just a few years earlier, Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School and the De La Salle Christian Brothers had celebrated its 100th year in Brooklyn. When the beloved Bishop McDonnell Memorial High School closed in 1973, a series of events resulted in the decision for Loughlin to become a coed high school.

Fifty years later, the young women of Loughlin have shaped our proud institution in every way imaginable. Thousands of young women have graduated and make their impact on Brooklyn and beyond.

The school will be recognizing and celebrating the impact and many achievements of women who have graduated from Bishop Loughlin. A special committee is planning a series of events and activities—engaging students and alumni. We will be inviting women to speak to our students about their journey at Loughlin, and after. Our commemoration will culminate in a gala event this June.

FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Loughlin Family,

As I reflect on the remarkable journey of Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School, I am struck by the resilience, growth, and unwavering commitment that defines our community. This past year has been a testament to the strength of our shared mission, and it is my privilege to celebrate our successes and look forward to an even brighter future.

This year, we are honoring 50 Years of Women @ Loughlin, celebrating the extraordinary impact of the women who have walked our halls, led with courage, and transformed their communities. This milestone is more than a commemoration—it is a reminder of the progress we’ve made and a call to action to continue empowering all students to lead and succeed.

The past year was filled with memorable achievements that reflect the vibrancy and dedication of our school:

• The Arthur Ashe Ceremony inspired us with its celebration of excellence in the sciences, reaffirming the values of hard work that we instill in every Loughlin student.

• Our White Coat Ceremony, a significant moment for our aspiring healthcare professionals, showcased the talent and ambition of a new generation ready to make a difference in the world.

• NYSSMA 2024 was a resounding success , highlighting the exceptional talents of our student musicians and their commitment to artistic excellence.

• Programs like Loughlin 101 and the Breakfast With… series , featuring Rev. Kimberly Council ’90, strengthen our community bonds and provide valuable insights into leadership and service.

• The Band’s participation in the NYC Marathon and its feature on ABC exemplified the dedication and creativity that make our students shine on and off campus.

• Graduation Day 2024 was a proud moment for all, as we watched another class of Loughlinites step forward, ready to embrace their futures with confidence and purpose.

• The Middle States Reaccreditation Visit (Loughlin has been accredited since 1969) confirmed that Loughlin is a school of excellence, meeting or exceeding standards, committed to growing into a robust future.

These milestones are not just points of pride—they are a reflection of the extraordinary faculty, staff, and supporters who guide and nurture our students. We are particularly grateful to those who transitioned to new roles or retired this year, including Donna Harris and Richard McGuire , whose decades of service will forever be a part of our history.

The 1964 Water Polo Team recognition and initiatives like 50 Under 50 and the Courtyard Cookout demonstrate the power of connection and tradition within our community.

Your involvement strengthens our mission to educate and inspire. Together, we can continue to provide opportunities for every Loughlinite to thrive and excel.

We invite you to join us in shaping the future of Bishop Loughlin. Whether through scholarships, planned giving, or participating in events, your involvement strengthens our mission to educate and inspire. Together, we can continue to provide opportunities for every Loughlinite to thrive and excel. When I reflect on our vibrant community, thankful for the abundant blessings in which we share, I think of a phrase that one of our dean’s often leads students to repeat:

“God is good.” (to which students respond), ”All the time.” He says, “All the time.” (to which students respond), “God is good.”

And so, we move forward confident in God’s Providence.

Thank you for being an integral part of our story. Your support and dedication make everything we do possible. Here’s to continued success, innovation, and community at Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School.

Live Jesus in our hearts.

Sincerely,

Bro. Dennis Cronin, FSC President

WELCOME CLASS OF 2028

A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS WITH LOUGHLIN 101

Bishop Loughlin hosted the Class of 2028 at its annual Loughlin 101 this past July.

Loughlin 101, our two-week high school program, is designed to help incoming freshmen smoothly transition to school life at Loughlin, its culture, campus, and expectations by meeting other freshmen, current

students (including Lasallian Youth), teachers, staff, their Dean, Mr. Montes, and administrators.

During the program, students attended academic classes, explored extracurriculars, sports, and music. They also participated in a community-building day at Hands In 4 Youth (HI4Y) in Milford, NJ.

A sample day included classes in the morning (Math, English, Computers, Bio Med, and Religion), followed by lunch. In the afternoon, students chose between activities in the gym, school yard, performance art center, dance studio, or the art room.

The program ended with a fun-filled field day and BBQ.

NYC MARATHON BAND A TRADITION FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS

Led by Mr. Louis Maffei, more than 200 alumni, staff, and Loughlin student musicians serenaded the NYC marathon runners on Sunday, November 3. Once again, at mile 8, runners heard Gonna Fly Now (theme from Rocky ) for more than three hours.

Kemberly Richardson from ABC 7 News stopped by a practice session and spoke to Mr. Maffei and Mark Payne ’80—both have participated in the 'marathon within a marathon' since its inception in 1979. They were featured on the news on November 1.

BREAKFAST WITH...

A VISIT FROM BROOKLYN’S DEPUTY BOROUGH PRESIDENT

By Jamesonian (student newspaper) staff

When one focuses on the issues, there is no reason to tear each other down.

— Rev. Kimberly Council ’90

At our first 2024 Breakfast With…, held in February, Loughlin welcomed back Brooklyn’s Deputy Borough President, Rev. Kimberly Council ’90.

Rev. Council shared her insights and love for Loughlin with a large group of students, History teachers, former teachers, and administration. She discussed her journey to a seat in our local government and how Loughlin was,

along with her faith, parents, and family, the cornerstone of the foundation of who she is today.

During her visit, we learned that Kim held steadfast through trials, tribulations, sorrow, and defeat; she never settled. She reminded students to know and value their worth and what they bring to the table or the conversation, to surround themselves with good, supportive, intelligent people who won’t steer them wrong and will help them build their character and their future.

Kim made the politics of politics less confusing and bewildering; she added that “when one focuses on the issues, there is no reason to tear each other down.” Character, integrity, faithfulness, a healthy sense of self, and community were emphasized during our first 2024 Breakfast With

AN UNBELIEVABLE STORY

THE 1964 BISHOP LOUGHLIN WATER POLO TEAM

by Michael Randazzo

reprinted with permission by

AT THE ANNUAL BISHOP LOUGHLIN REUNION IN OCTOBER A SPECIAL GROUP OF LIONS—THE 1964 BISHOP LOUGHLIN WATER POLO TEAM— HAD MORE TO CELEBRATE THAN THEIR 60 th ANNIVERSARY CLASSMATES.

Charlie Gulotta ’64 was there for all of it, starting in 1960 as a freshman recruited by Loughlin coach Harry Benvenuto to learn polo in the basement of the Central Brooklyn YMCA. From there, Gulotta and his teammates barnstormed the country, developing their polo skills against players significantly bigger, and older, than they.

Decades later, Gulotta is able to recall a list of who’s who of the essential players in Eastern aquatics—coaches, administrators, and athletes whose success was born out of effort and friendship.

You were part of a group of high school athletes from Bishop Loughlin—teenagers who enjoyed an amazing run of success playing water polo.

Gulotta: Absolutely! And we attribute it to Harry Benvenuto, our coach. Harry lived in Williamsburg. He had polio, so he had to swim. He was Director of Aquatics at the Brooklyn Central YMCA and the swimming coach for Bishop Loughlin. He was also the coach at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute (now part of NYU). Harry saw us as opponents for his Brooklyn Polytechnic water polo team to scrimmage against, a bunch of young guys who were good swimmers.

In 1960, the freshman swim group at Loughlin consisted of seven guys: me, Eddie Haggerty ’64, Kenny Schreifels ’64, Billy Harris ’64, Dennis Christy ’64, Jimmy Mottle ’64, and Tommy Walsh ’64. We started playing water polo in 1960 against college teams—freshmen playing against college teams!

In 1964 the team improbably captured the AAU Junior Water Polo Championship.

— Michael Randazzo

It was an unbelievable experience. There was college water polo in the city; St. Francis had a program as did Harvard, MIT. Yale had a big program; West Point had a team. We went to Yale University to play in a tournament. We went to West Point to play against them.

Water polo is a game based upon teamwork; you can’t win a water polo game as an individual. The reason the United States has never won an Olympic Gold medal (except in 1904 when there were only U.S. teams) is because in Europe sports revolve around clubs. People start playing water polo at age five and play with the same guys until they’re 30.

The key to Loughlin’s success was we learned to play together and had positions that complemented each other. I was a lefty, a swimmer, and a driver. Dennis Christy was a righty,

a swimmer and a driver. Billy Harris was our hole forward. In the backfield we had Eddie Haggerty, Kenny Schreifels, and Jimmy Mottle. But our secret weapon was our goalie, Tommy Walsh. He was unbelievable—and gave us the confidence to make fast breaks down the pool. Dennis and I would receive passes from him.

How did the Loughlin team go from just learning water polo to national champions?

Gulotta : I was able to beat Don Schollander, a five-time Olympic gold medal winner, to the ball in a swim-off.

Over four years we developed into national champions. We were at West Point in 1962 when Douglas MacArthur gave his farewell address to the corps of cadets. We were sitting at the training table—every Saturday morning there was a parade of cadets at West Point, and we were there for a water polo tournament.

Harry was a great supporter, and we were able to do this because of an amazing situation. The Brooklyn Central YMCA had two pools; an adult pool on the third floor and in the basement was a 20-yard, shallow kids’ pool. That’s where we practiced and played—and we did it naked! I don’t know why; that was a YMCA tradition.

Harry had a bamboo pole and he would beat us to make us go faster. In the 60s that was okay.

We were invited to the 1964 Olympic Trials. Dennis Christy and I could not attend because we were being recruited by the Air Force. Eddie Haggerty, Billy Harris, Tommy Walsh and some other guys played at the Olympic Trials.

Many of us went on to play at the New York Athletic Club; Dennis Christy, Tommy Walsh, Billy Harris, Eddie Haggerty went to St. Francis College in Brooklyn, where Carl Quigley has an unbelievable legacy. What he did was magic.

Eddie Haggerty didn’t last that long; he went to Vietnam. Tommy Walsh didn’t last, he became a steamfitter and a tradesman. Billy and Dennis played together at St. Francis College.

It was a magical experience that gave all of us self-confidence to do unbelievable things later in life. It certainly built up my self-confidence. I went to the Air Force Academy for a year; Dennis Christy went for six months. Then we came back to New

York. Dennis went to St. Francis. I went to Fordham University, and we all played at the New York Athletic Club, even during college.

Tommy Walsh played, and Billy Harris and Dennis Christy, and me; that’s where we were brought together with some world-class players. We won eight national championships and tried out for the 1968 Olympics. Some of us went to the training camp.

The one who accomplished more in polo than any of you was Billy Harris.

Gulotta: I worked for IBM and moved to CA (played there in clubs). Billy stayed around. In the 90s he switched from being a player to a coach—he went to Greenwich and became the high school girls’ coach.

The camaraderie that existed among your Bishop Loughlin teammates is remarkable for any sport but does not exist currently for New York City water polo.

Gulotta: Certainly for me, polo helped tremendously. But let me go back a little bit. The swimming culture in NYC was fostered by Joe Stetz and Dick Abrahamson. Mr. Abrahamson ran AAU swimming, and his son, Richard, was a great swimmer. We used to swim in all the city pools, like at the Bernard Baruch Houses or at the pool on the Lower East Side. There was the Queens Boy’s Club in Astoria too.

I started swimming at Brooklyn Tech in the eighth grade. That helped me tremendously on Saturday mornings when St. Francis Prep used to swim.

There always was a culture; I don’t know what happened to it. You have Asphalt Green with their culture. The Baruch Houses pool, I think that still exists. They renovated the McCarren

The key to Loughlin’s success was we learned to play together and had positions that complemented each other.

Park Pool in Greenpoint. And the Metropolitan Pool in Williamsburgh; we swam there a lot.

Your team was unified in their purpose because of friendship and circumstance.

Gulotta: Our parents were very supportive. Billy Harris’ mother Edith was the one who got Abe Stark, the Brooklyn Borough President, to

give us a proclamation in 1964. It goes back to knowing water polo is a team sport; you need teamwork. Swimming is an individual sport where you learn individual discipline. In water polo you push yourself because of your teammates. You go above and beyond to support each other. It’s a wonderful skill that’s great for business; how you work together as a team—at least I found that to be true.

At the 2024 reunion, a plaque was presented to the members of the 1964 water polo team celebrating the 60th anniversary of the team's national championship. On the plaques:

"We recognize and celebrate the great Water Polo teams of Bishop Loughlin—namely the remarkable achievements of the 1963 -1964 Loughlin Water Polo team which went on to defeat Yale University and the U.S. Military Academy of West Point.

In the Spring of 1964, the Lions won the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Junior Water Polo National Championship after winning seven matches in three days.

Bill Harris ’64 was later inducted into the USA Water Polo Hall of Fame and the entire team was invited to participate in the 1964 U.S. Olympic trials."

TWIN BROTHERS DROP CAREER HIGHS IN POINTS WITHIN 24 HOURS OF EACH OTHER

JUSTIN ’19 AND JULIAN ’19 CHAMPAGNIE

Loughlin had two very special young men before they worked their way to St. John's University, University of Pittsburgh, and eventually the NBA. Everyone who met Justin or Julian knew they were good kids—always respectful, always worked hard, always helped others.

The odds of playing in the NBA, regardless of talent, are very small. And yet, here the brothers are in their third season.

Julian has been starting alongside star Victor Wembanyama for the San Antonio Spurs. Justin plays for the Washington Wizards after previously playing for the Toronto Raptors and the Boston Celtics.

Career-high 30 and 23-point nights within a day of one another? On December 6, 2024, Julian set career highs with 30 points and six 3-point field goals. He has been a steady presence for the Spurs both last season and this one. He has doubled his scoring average this year as a starter for the team.

Have you ever heard, Anything you can do, I can do better? (Irving Berlin fans out there?) Justin came out the very next day, December 7, to set his career high scoring 23 points while upsetting the heavily favored Denver Nuggets and superstar Nikola Jokic. This was also his first NBA start this season.

We are proud of the Champagnie brothers regardless—but what they are doing in the NBA is pretty neat.

LASALLIAN EDUCATION IN KENYA FOR OVER 60 YEARS

BUILDING A COLLEGE IN KAREN, NAIROBI, KENYA

LA SALLE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Architect rendering for the proposed La Salle College of Education, Science, and Technology.

Bishop Loughlin is proud of our International Lasallian missions. Our good friend and beloved former Loughlin teacher, Bro. Dennis Lee, FSC is part of the leadership team hopeful of opening a new college in Kenya.

A Lasallian History in Kenya

The De La Salle Christian Brothers (USA) were early missionaries (1960s) to Kenya and were instrumental in starting Christ the Teacher Institute for Education (CTIE), a teacher-training institute in 1992—originally through a collaboration with Saint Mary's University of Minnesota. CTIE has graduated close to 2,000 young women and men, and it continues to transform young adults into excellent teachers. As part of the Lasallian mission, hundreds of CTIE students who hail from informal settlements and hardship areas of Kenya have been able to pursue their career dream of teaching because CTIE has supported their tuition and their basic necessities.

Why a New College in Kenya?

Starting a new college is an ambitious undertaking. The Brothers take this leap with a deep breath and tremendous faith. The reason is simple: the need is too great to ignore. Kenya is a country replete with young people aspiring for higher education. A comprehensive Needs Assessment Study clearly showed that there are simply not enough seats in public and private universities in the country. The Lwanga District (of English-speaking Africa) has a strong educational track record and is ready to respond to the needs of young Kenyans. The La Salle College of Education, Science, and Technology (LSC-EST) will prepare students to become more relevant to the

workplace and play a vital role in the nation's economic transformation.

What Will it Look Like?

An Impressive Center for Teacher Preparation: As has been our Lasallian strength since the founding of CTIE, La Salle College of Education, Science, and Technology (LSC-EST) will have a strong School of Education, preparing teachers to impact the next generation of critical thinkers and transformative change-makers.

A Center for Modern Science: LSC-EST will take a lead role in preparing scientists to confront causes of and solutions to the negative impact of climate change. Similarly, in an era where saving the environment matters, the future graduates will be at the forefront of saving the environment.

A Hub for Computer Information Technology: Nairobi is a hub for business and communication. Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle are among the international companies with large offices in Kenya. Formed in 1997, Safaricom is a telecommunications giant, currently employing well over 6,000 Kenyans with a subscriber base of 47 million. These companies seek well-educated, well-trained, well-motivated men and women of integrity to become the workers and leaders of tomorrow. LSC-EST will meet these urgent societal needs.

"I WHOLEHEARTEDLY ENDORSE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF LA SALLE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY."

The Archbishop of Nairobi has blessed the project. In addition to the ten acres of land made available by the Lwanga District, the Region of North America has added its support with a contribution of $625,000 and the Hilton Foundation has already deemed the project worthy of its grant of $500,000.

LASALLIAN MISSION OF EDUCATION

The Lasallian mission of education is transforming lives. With 344 years of global educational experience and currently impacting the lives of over one million students worldwide, locally, the Brothers of the Lwanga District of Africa are seeking to expand their Lasallian footprint in Kenya (currently consisting of nine ministries) to include the newly emerging La Salle College of Education, Science, and Technology.

LSC-EST EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Project Director and Chair: Bro. Dennis Lee, FSC (Loughlin faculty member, 1984-1996)

Bro. Louis DeThomasis, FSC, PhD, President Emeritus, St. Mary’s University of Minnesota

Bro. Betre Fisseha, FSC, Visitor and Provincial Superior, Lwanga District of Africa

Bro. James Gaffney, FSC, DMin, President Emeritus, Lewis University

Bro. Paulos Mesmer, FSC, EdD, PsyD, Project Coordinator

Bro. Moses Abunya, FSC, EdD, Auxiliary Visitor, Lwanga District of Africa

Daniel Allen, PhD, President, La Salle University

Tom Southard, CAE, Executive Director, Christian Brothers Conference, US

Where will the college be located? LSC-EST will be in Karen, Nairobi, Kenya, on a ten-acre piece of land made available by the Lwanga District of the Brothers of the Christian Schools

Why Nairobi? The location will be exceptionally conducive to learning. La Salle College will neighbor other institutions such as Tangaza University, Marist International University College, Kenya School of Law, Multi-Media University, Kenya Medical Training College, and the Catholic University of Eastern Africa. This will give LSC-EST a great opportunity to cooperate with like-minded institutions of higher learning. LSC-EST will be within reachable distance of informal settlements such as Kuwinda and Kibera.

Kibera is the largest informal settlement (commonly known as slums) in Nairobi and the second-largest urban informal settlement in Africa. Conditions in Kuwinda and Kibera are extremely challenging, and most of its residents need more access to basic services such as schools, clinics, recreation centers, electricity, and running water. The setting up of LSC-EST close to these informal settlements will provide educational opportunities to a

substantial number of high school graduates from these places and many others from economically marginalized and disadvantaged areas.

The

Lasallian Network

It takes a village to raise a child! In forming LSC-EST, the international Lasallian network (including some 64 institutions of higher learning) has been engaged in providing modern age expertise in structural and curricular development in the areas of science and technology. Lasallians from all over the world will be counted on to bring this project to fruition. Those of us at Loughlin are proud to share the vision for this new international project.

Full of Optimism

There is great optimism that LSC-EST will be built on a strong foundation and have an impact across the sectors of education, science, and technology. Our Brothers and Lasallians in Kenya will continue (with our support) their commitment to enabling qualified students from informal settlements to afford to be students of LSC-EST.

If you would like more information or are interested in assisting, please contact Bro. Dennis Lee, FSC at projectdirector@lasallecollegekenya.org.

WITH OUR 50 UNDER 50 INITIATIVE CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE

At Bishop Loughlin we are proud of our alumni who shine brightly and make an impact. As part of our commitment to celebrating and honoring their accomplishments, we were excited to launch the 50 Under 50 Initiative in 2024, recognizing Loughlin alumni, under the age of 50, who do remarkable things in their workplace and through volunteer work.

Our alumni are leaders in their professions and they give back to the communities that helped shape them. Whether healthcare professionals, engineers, service members, community organizers, public servants, politicians, musicians, artists, inventors, lawyers, educators, or entrepreneurs, Loughlin graduates make a difference—creating opportunities for others and driving change in society. We are proud to highlight them.

The 50 Under 50 initiative aims to spotlight a diverse range of individuals breaking barriers and excelling in ways that continue to elevate the community.

This year, we were honored to present our first cohort of 50 Under 50 awardees, whose stories are a testament to the values instilled during their time at Bishop Loughlin. The dedication to their work, passion for serving others, and commitment to excellence certainly inspire the next generation of Lions and serve as a reminder of the enduring impact of a Loughlin education.

LOUGHLIN COUNCIL LUNCHEON 2024

The annual Loughlin Council Luncheon, held in November, is a special event hosted by Bishop Loughlin to express gratitude to those who generously support us —year after year. This year, more than 70 donors and friends attended.

The luncheon began with a prayer led by Bro. Peter Bonventre, FSC '45 SA, followed by remarks from President, Bro. Dennis Cronin, FSC. Bro. Dennis' message to everyone in the room on that day was a simple but powerful one: thank you!

We are grateful to our board chair, Lenny Singletary '87, for guiding the event as emcee. Attendees heard from senior Sade Whittingham, who shared her journey and experiences at Bishop Loughlin, reflecting on how the school has shaped her values and supported her, and her future aspirations in criminology and nursing—she plans to major in criminology. At Loughlin, Sade is a school ambassador and has been active in the National Honor Society, the softball team, and the Arthur Ashe Institute of Urban Health. She has also learned to play the clarinet and

saxophone in the school band.

Other current students in attendance did an excellent job representing the school and were an ever-present reminder of why we are all so committed to this mission.

Our message to you, as you read this now, is the same as at the luncheon, thank you. The unwavering generosity of our alumni and friends makes all that we do possible.

MIDDLE STATES COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION

VISITS LOUGHLIN

Since 1969, Loughlin has maintained its Middle States Accreditation (reviewed and renewed every seven years). The Middle States Commission on Elementary/Secondary Schools (MSACESS) is a premier worldwide accreditation and school improvement leader that is "recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a reliable authority on the quality of secondary education." It is the organization that accredits public and private schools. Its mission is "to improve education quality by helping schools achieve excellence through accreditation."

The rigorous accreditation selfevaluation process is optional for any school, but is a hallmark for institutions such as Loughlin that uses the process to assure that they are meeting a defined set of performance standards.

Bishop Loughlin is proud to announce the successful reaccreditation by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education.

Over the past year, President Bro. Dennis Cronin, FSC and Middle States Internal Coordinator, English teacher, and head lacrosse coach, Nicholas Dilonardo prepared an exhaustive overview of our curriculum, policies and procedures, professional development standards, governing board training, resources, internal documents, and student resources.

Teachers and staff committees met for a year as part of a coordinated effort to complete the self-evaluation, culminating in a 100-page report that included goals and strategic plans for the school's future.

THE VISITING TEAM SPOKE GLOWINGLY OF THE CHARACTER, ATTITUDE, AND MISSION OF THE LOUGHLIN COMMUNITY. THEY DESCRIBED THE SCHOOL'S REVIEW AS EXTENSIVE AND METICULOUSLY ORGANIZED, STUDENTS AS CHARMING AND RESPECTFUL, AND FACULTY AS ZEALOUS, LOVING, AND MISSIONFOCUSED.

After the self-report, a visiting team of educators met Loughlin stakeholders, allowing them to hear and learn about what makes Loughlin unique, its history, and the spirit and personality of its leaders. Over three days, the visiting team's schedule included observations of teaching and learning and interviews with various constituencies of the school including administration, faculty, staff, and the committees tasked with each of the six standards by which our school was evaluated.

After the report and specific goals were accepted, Loughlin hosted the visiting team to inspect and certify our assessment. Chair of the visiting team was Fr. Michael Tidd, OSB, Headmaster of Delbarton School (Morristown, NJ). Other team members included Daniel Fisher, Assistant Principal for Academics at Monsignor Farrell High School (SI) and Jennifer Brenlla, Health and Wellness Director and School Social Worker at the Academy of Mount Saint Ursula (Bronx).

Our school's review included setting four specific goals by which our progress will be measured over the next seven years:

• A school-wide cross-departmental focus on literacy

• Improving access and usage of our cutting-edge STEM programming

• A leadership development training program

• A renewed commitment to the social, emotional, and physical wellness of our student community

The visiting team spoke glowingly of the character, attitude, and mission of our Loughlin community. They described the school's review as extensive and meticulously organized, students charming and respectful, and faculty as zealous, loving, and mission-focused.

This reaccreditation allows Bishop Loughlin to continue operating at the highest level, as judged by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, and reinforces for a wider audience what those at Bishop Loughlin already know to be true: at 357 Clermont Avenue, our founder's words and vision are a material reality.

REMEMBERING

Brother Joseph P. Reilly, FSC ’57, a true son of old St. James, died on September 30, 2024. Bro. Joe was a dedicated Brother of the Christian Schools for 66 years—entering the Scholasticate, receiving the religious habit and religious name, Joseph Patrick, in 1958. He pronounced his perpetual vows in 1964.

Bro. Joe began his teaching career at Mater Christi High School in 1963. He transferred to Loughlin in 1965 and served until 1977—teaching Social Studies and moderating track. The men of the 60s and 70s held him in high regard.

After Loughlin, Bro. Joe served at Ocean Tides (RI), LaSalle Military Academy, LaSalle Academy, and St. Raymond’s High School for Boys.

He returned to Loughlin in 2001 until his retirement in 2017.

Over the years, Bro. Joe stayed in touch with many alumni. He loved

going to reunions or any Loughlin gathering. His genuine concern for others endeared him to students and teachers alike. He went the extra mile as a teacher, moderator, and/or bus driver.

Ed Bolan ’78, Principal, says of Brother: "I was in Bro. Joe’s Asian Studies class as a freshman. I knew him well; he taught my older brothers and he lived in my home parish of St. Cecilia’s. In the neighborhood, we considered him one of the 'fun' Brothers. He drove us to movies, Mets games, the beach, and Jahn’s Ice Cream Parlor.

When he moved to Narragansett in 1977, a friend and I volunteered to help him. We packed the Loughlin van with all his belongings. It was mostly shirts and plants. Brother could never resist a good buy. Among his treasures was a radio. He loved music and singing. Once in Rhode Island, we toured many of the sights of New England—he was our tour guide. We had a blast. If one spent any time with Bro. Joe, they saw firsthand his generous and kind spirit. It is fair to say, he gave his all to those entrusted to his care. Rest in Peace Bro. Joe!"

Bro. John McManus, FSC died on April 22, 2024 in Red Bank, NJ. Known by students and faculty alike as Bro. John, he dedicated his life to the education and enrichment of young men and women—and left an indelible mark on our school’s community.

Bro. John was born on May 14, 1945. Entering the novitiate in 1963 and receiving his religious habit and name Thomas John a few months later, he pronounced perpetual vows in 1973.

At Loughlin, colleagues and students alike remember Bro. John for his kindness, his generosity, and his willingness to provide help wherever needed. Active in Loughlin’s Homework Center, he tutored students in mathematics, science, history, and romance languages. Bro. John’s assistance was invaluable during COVID, where he supervised classes that were operating in a hybrid format.

Bro. John was the moderator of the school's chess club fostering a love for chess among countless young players in the school library. And, for many years, he was involved in the Make the Right Move Foundation, a chess organization dedicated to providing free chess lessons and tournaments to youth in NYC (as well in the Albany, NY area). He served as the executive director and was inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame in 2014 for his unwavering enthusiasm for mentoring students in the community through chess.

BRO. JOSEPH REILLY, FSC ’57 AND BRO. JOHN McMANUS, FSC

It is with great sadness that Bishop Loughlin mourns the passing of two wonderful Brothers, Bro. Joseph Reilly, FSC ’57 and Bro. John McManus, FSC.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY CLASS TRAVELS TO GREENPOINT

Recently, students from Mr. Effron’s Environmental Sustainability class, along with science teacher Mr. Nelson, traveled via subway to Greenpoint to investigate New York City’s complicated relationship with its water.

The class visited the Newtown Creek Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring Newtown Creek—a four-mile tidal strait that feeds into the East River. The creek is one of the most polluted bodies of water in the country, and is slated to receive hundreds of millions of dollars to help to clean it up. The Alliance explained how oil, rubber, chemical, and other dirty industries knowingly

polluted the creek over decades, including an undetected oil leak that became the largest land-based oil spill in U.S. history. The class toured the Alliance’s impressive Green Roof, which helps reduce storm water runoff into the creek, and did a walking tour of the trail built along the creek and took water samples to be tested for pollutants back in class.

The class then walked over to the nearby Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility, the largest of 14 facilities dedicated to cleaning NYC’s waste water. After learning about the way that NYC gets its pristine water from an expansive system of upstate lakes, reservoirs, and aqueducts that

avoids billions of dollars of water treatment costs, students donned hard hats and vests and took a tour of the facility observing the physical, chemical, and biological methods used to treat the water, including the use of bacteria that eats sewage and produce gases that can be used for heating— while providing compost to farms. The facility’s technology and engineering design was extremely impressive, and students walked away with a better appreciation and understanding of all that goes into keeping NYC’s water quality on a steady upward trajectory. The day accomplished a broader goal of making important societal issues directly relevant to students’ lives.

KICKING OFF A YEAR OF CELEBRATION

BREAKFAST WITH…

As part of the ongoing celebration of 50 Years of Women at Loughlin, the school hosted an inspiring all-female panel featuring Bishop Loughlin alumnae from the 1990s and 2000s. The panelists included:

• Kimberly Council ’90, Brooklyn Deputy Borough President and Loughlin Board of Governor.

• Josephine Santos McKenna ’90 P ’28 , Director of Admissions, Bishop Loughlin

• Tanya Curbin Kennedy ’02 , Associate Director of Institutional Advancement, Bishop Loughlin

• Falasha Delimon ’04 , Independent Consultant—Certified Public Accountant (CPA)

• Tatiana Marshall ’10, Student Life Coordinator, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

• Aria Niles ’11, Research Supervisor, Exponent Failure Analysis Associates

Six alumnae met with Loughlin students in a conversation about their personal journeys and time at Bishop Loughlin. From public service and healthcare to finance and research, the diversity of career fields represented highlighted the breadth of opportunities these women have pursued, as well as the invaluable experiences they gained at Loughlin.

Falasha Dilemon shared, "Growing up in Brooklyn and attending Loughlin was truly life-changing for me. Those years were about so much more than just academics—it was a time when I discovered the power of my voice, my culture, and my potential. Loughlin was a place where our culture was celebrated, and I was surrounded by teachers and peers who challenged me to dream bigger, reach higher, and see the world through different perspectives. The support during those years shaped my values and the way I approach life.

Throughout the Breakfast With..., panelists discussed how the education at Loughlin provided academic knowledge, critical life skills, and confidence—pointing out how the school’s emphasis on leadership, community, and resilience played a pivotal role in preparing them for the challenges they faced in their professional lives.

Being a Black girl from Brooklyn, you learn to hustle, to navigate challenges, and to stay focused on your goals no matter what. My time after Loughlin landed me at St. John’s University, where I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Accounting and my master’s degree in Taxation. I went on to start my career in public accounting at global top accounting firms (The Big 4) as well as obtain my CPA license while gaining a valuable, intentional, and resourceful professional network. These lessons and this trajectory have been my foundation as a professional, a friend, and a woman who’s still chasing dreams while holding space for others. I approach life with gratitude because I know the sacrifices and support that got me here. This time wasn’t just about the education—I left Loughlin with a sense of identity, purpose, and pride in being a Black woman from Brooklyn. Everything I do now is rooted in the values and lessons I gained there, and I carry that with me in every role I take on. I lean on the values I built during those years: perseverance, gratitude, and joy in the journey."

LOUGHLIN'S ANNUAL CONCERT SPECTACULAR

In October, Loughlin hosted its annual Concert Spectacular, welcoming over 700 middle school students from all five boroughs.

This event, an introduction to Loughlin, offered prospective students in middle school grades an opportunity to meet current students, athletes, and experience a variety of performances from the school’s talented band, chorus, and house dancers.

In addition to the performances, students mingled and participated in a variety of activities in the school’s courtyard. Loughlin's cheerleading squad, track and field, lacrosse, soccer, softball, bowling, and basketball teams all showcased their spirit and enthusiasm, representing their respective squads with pride.

Meanwhile, administrators from local middle schools were invited to join President Bro. Dennis Cronin, FSC and Principal Ed Bolan ’78 for a continental breakfast, where they had the chance to discuss the event, the school, and the opportunities available for prospective students.

The annual Concert Spectacular was a day filled with energy, excitement, and Loughlin spirit. It is hoped that many of the students who visited will soon become part of the Loughlin family, continuing the legacy of excellence at the school.

RICHARD McGUIRE AND DONNA HARRIS RETIRE: WITH A COMBINED 72 YEARS AT LOUGHLIN

Mr. Richard McGuire, a social studies teacher at Loughlin for 37 years, retired in June at the end of the academic year— teaching an estimated 6,000 students during his tenure.

Known for a deep knowledge of history, quick wit, and colorful personality, Mr. McGuire made a significant impact on his students—making history engaging through storytelling.

His teaching career began at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Sunset Park, followed by St. Joseph's High School in Brooklyn, and then he joined the Loughlin faculty in 1987.

During Mr. McGuire's retirement party, he was remembered for his ability to tell stories and deep love and dedication to his family. He has a passion for Russian history, espionage, and alternative music.

Thank you Mr. McGuire for your care and service. You made significant contributions to education and the Loughlin community. You are missed.

Donna (Wernersbach) Harris retired in August after 35 years of service at Bishop Loughlin. Known for her dedication, compassion, and tireless work ethic, Donna's impact resonated in every corner of the school. Working in various administrative roles over the years, she began her tenure in the finance department and retired as Executive Administrative Assistant to both the President and the Principal.

Donna steps into a new chapter as a proud grandmother, embracing the role with the same love and joy she brought to our school. While her absence will be deeply felt, we know her legacy of dedication, kindness, and community spirit will remain.

Donna Harris, thank you for your decades of service, for the joy you brought to our lives, and for the lasting impact you leave behind.

POET AND WRITERS CLUB VISITS

THE

Members of the Poets and Writers Club visit the Brooklyn

In November, the school's Poets and Writers Club and moderator Mr. Ted Frank attended a performance inspired by June Jordan's poetry at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). The performance entitled, Flowers for June, featured original works by graduates of BAM's after school Arts and Justice program—a free program which allows high school-aged students to hone their artistic voice under the direction of BAM's educational department. Flowers for June was a spellbinding performance that integrated/weaved original poetry, monologues, artworks, and dance, which was accompanied by a recording of Ms. Jordan reading one of her poems and an instrumental piece played on the N'goni, a traditional West African string instrument. All works were inspired by the liberating words of June Jordan—an American poet, teacher, and activist who authored 27 books.

Prior to the performance, Giselle Buchanan, a teaching BAM artist, conducted a workshop at Loughlin on June Jordan's life and work for the Poets and Writers Club. During the workshop, students were tasked with writing a collaborative group poem, as well as an original work of their very own, in response to Ms. Jordan's poetry. After the visit, members of the Poets and Writers Club were invited by BAM to participate in their Arts and Justice Program.

The action included intra-squad games—featuring our girls, the freshman boys v. junior varsity boys, and intense varsity AA match-ups. The cheerleaders kept the school spirit alive, ensuring the excitement never stopped. The fun continued with a 3-point contest, a free throw showdown, and an electrifying dunk contest. It was an unforgettable day, filled with school spirit, talent, and memorable moments!

10 REASONS GIVING FROM YOUR WILL

IS A GOOD IDEA

Providing for institutions and causes you care about, such as Bishop Loughlin, is an excellent way to demonstrate your values, help you gain a better understanding of what’s important to you, and set an example for others to follow.

You know a will is vital when it comes to distributing your assets to the people and causes you care about, but did you know that creating one has personal benefits? This is particularly apparent when you use it to give a gift to an organization you love, such as Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School.

Here’s how including a charitable gift in your will benefits you:

The Ten Reasons

1. It can lessen anxiety. Thinking and planning ahead can make it less daunting to talk about what happens when you’re gone. How? It gives you reassurance that the people and causes close to your heart are taken care of.

2. It can lend perspective. Taking stock of what’s important can help you focus on your goals and be more aware of how you want to impact the world.

3. It sets an example. Your gift can be an inspiration. Your story can have a ripple effect on your loved ones or others you share it with.

4. It just feels good. Giving makes you feel good. Really, it does. Research shows that the act of giving reduces stress-related activity in one area of the brain while increasing reward-related activity in another.

5. It can be adjusted. A gift in your will is revocable, which means it can be changed at any time—that includes the amount, the assets and the area of purpose you are supporting. You are free to alter your plans as needed to reflect life’s changes.

6. It reflects your personal legacy A gift in your will is your opportunity to contribute to a cause that’s meaningful to you and have it extend beyond your lifetime.

The Ten Reasons, continued

7. It is versatile. Through your will, you can give a specific item, an amount of money, a gift contingent upon certain events or a percentage of your estate. You can balance your generosity to us with an assurance that loved ones are taken care of first. Estate planning professionals often counsel their clients to have an annual or biannual estate plan “checkup” to ensure that the most recent version of their will reflects their wishes.

8. It is likely to be the biggest gift you’ve ever given. The assets in your estate reflect a life time of your work and investments. Giving a gift through your will is likely to be the largest donation—and largest impact on a cause you care about— you’ve ever made.

9. It allows you to enjoy your assets today. Because the distribution of your assets occurs after your lifetime, you retain control of your assets.

10. It makes a huge difference. When you give a gift in your will, you are making that organization part of your family. Your generosity is deeply felt.

Of course, loved ones are the first people to consider when drafting your will. Then, think about the nonprofits you want to support. Providing for institutions and causes you care about, such as BLMHS, is an excellent way to demonstrate your values, help you gain a better understanding of what’s important to you and set an example for others to follow.

We can help!

Every gift is meaningful and helps Bishop Louglin continue its mission. To learn more about ways a gift in your estate plan can make an impact, contact Andrew Leary, Vice President, Institutional Advancement at 718-857-2700 x2251 or aleary@blmhs.org. Let’s discuss how your will can make a difference.

A BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION

An Example of Making a Lasting Impact

Through Your Will or Trust

Meet Tom. When he and his wife Martha married and created a will, they included a $75,000 gift to Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. As the family grew to include children and grandchildren, Tom and Martha decided to revise their gift to ensure their family's future financial security. They met with their attorney and revised the gift language so that Bishop Loughlin received a percentage of their estate, instead of a specific amount. Tom and Martha now rest easy knowing their plans will provide for the people and charitable work they love.

TO LEARN AND WATCH HOW A GIFT THROUGH YOUR WILL OR TRUST WORKS, SCAN THE QR CODE HERE.

In as little as ONE SENTENCE, you can complete your gift: The official bequest language for Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School is: “I, [name], of [city, state, ZIP], give, devise and bequeath to Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose.”

ON GIVING

Charles Santore ’62

When I think about my Loughlin education, I remember a warm and friendly environment where I had the opportunity to meet and make many good friends. I always had the sense that the entire faculty and administration were on a mission to help me succeed in every way.

My Loughlin experience provided a comprehensive and varied education with a sense of discipline necessary to succeed.

My Loughlin experience provided a comprehensive and varied education with a sense of discipline necessary to succeed.

I have long supported my alma mater. In recent years, Susan and I established an endowed scholarship fund. Our plan is include The Charles J. Santore '62 and Susan Santore Scholarship Fund in our estate plan.

My decision was simply a matter of giving back— Loughlin provided me with an excellent education, for which I am thankful.

I would like to see that same opportunity passed along to current and future Loughlinites.

TWO SMART WAYS TO GIVE

Make an Immediate Difference

When you support our mission by simply writing a check , you make great things happen and may receive a federal income tax charitable deduction. If you itemize, you can write off the amount you are donating, resulting in lower taxable income. Unsure of whether your gift is taxdeductible? Contact your financial advisor or tax consultant.

Make a Gift From Your IRA

If you are 70½ or older, you can give any amount up to $108,000 from your IRA directly to Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. (Note: This amount will be higher in subsequent years to adjust for inflation.) You will not pay income taxes on the transfer. If you are required to take minimum distributions, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your obligation.

Note: Your IRA administrator must remove the funds from your account by Dec. 31 for a donation to qualify for a given year. If you have check-writing features on your IRA, your check must clear the account by Dec. 31 to count toward your required minimum distribution for a calendar year.

To learn more about ways a gift in your estate plan can make an impact, contact Andrew Leary, Vice President, Institutional Advancement at 718-857-2700 x2251 or aleary@blmhs.org.

SCHOLARSHIP FUND SPOTLIGHT

The remarkable achievements of our alumni and friends are simply incredible. We are proud to tell you a bit about Dr. Kenneth Mann PhD ’58, a St. Augustine alumnus.

Lancer Kenneth Mann, PhD ’58

Kenneth Mann, PhD ’58 SA, is a proud Lancer and an internationally known researcher.

Dr. Mann is Emeritus Professor of Biochemistry and of Medicine at the University of Vermont.

Dr. Mann has been a long-time supporter of the Ray Brustman and Frank Macchiarola ’58 Scholarship Funds. Ken decided to establish The Jeanette Doner Mann Scholarship Fund during the pandemic to provide support for Loughlin families and students most at risk. He continues to support students in need.

A remarkable number of Lancers have made a profound impact in their professions. Dr. Mann is certainly one of those trailblazing graduates. Dr. Mann made key discoveries in hematology and coagulation throughout his long career. He has more than four decades of experience in the field of hemostasis, holds several patents relating to his research, and has published more than 450 original papers, reviews, and chapters.

For his work, Dr. Mann has received numerous national and international awards, including the American Society of Hematology’s Henry M. Stratton Medal and the E. Donnall Thomas Lecture and Prize.

Dr. Mann received his BS in Chemistry at Manhattan College where he conducted research under the direction of Brother Bill Batt (he would later win the Chemistry Medal at Manhattan). Dr. Mann then earned his PhD in Biochemistry at the University of Iowa. After additional postdoctoral training in physical biochemistry at Duke University, he moved to the University of Minnesota as an Assistant Professor.

His interest in applying Physical Biochemistry techniques to elucidate the varied physical and functional interactions of proteins in the blood coagulation process led to a move to the Mayo Clinic (Mayo Medical School), where he achieved the rank of Professor of Biochemistry and Medicine and became Vice Chair of the Department of Medicine.

In 1984, he joined the University of Vermont as a Professor and Chair of Biochemistry; he relinquished the Chair in 2005. He became an active emeritus professor in 2013 and maintains a large extramurally funded research program in Colchester, VT.

In addition to the major accomplishments listed here, Dr. Mann has received numerous awards: The Sherry Award (AHA), The Wood Medal (ISTH), The Pioneer in Hematology Award (ASH), The Distinguished Alumnus Award (Mayo Foundation), The Distinguished Alumnus Achievement Award (University of Iowa), The Henri Chaigneau Prize (Association Francaise des Hemophiles),

He also received a Special Recognition Award from the American Heart Association in 2008 and was named a Distinguished Scientist by the American Heart Association in 2011. His latest award is the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Hemostasis and Thrombosis Research Society.

In more recent years, Dr. Mann led a large NIH-funded multi-center study on Mysterious Trauma-Induced Hemorrhaging. The 23.8 million NIH grant studied coagulopathy that occurs without warning in some trauma patients. The study was a cooperative effort that established a unique collaboration between the NIH and The Department of Defense.

Dr. Mann retired in 2016 after a long and distinguished career. We are proud to call Dr. Mann a great Lancer, a friend, and long-time supporter.

REUNION 2024

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 1974 CELEBRATING THEIR 50 th!

On October 19, Loughlin hosted its 42nd annual Alumni Reunion—bringing together over 200 alumni. The event marked milestone anniversaries for the classes ending in 4s and 9s.

The class of 2009 emerged as the leader in attendance—with the classes of 1964 and 1989 close behind! Congratulations to their impressive turnout!

Several beloved Loughlin legends, former faculty, and staff returned to the school for the reunion. Notable attendees included Bro. Peter Bonventre, FSC '45 (SA), Daniel Cronin '62, Jim Dorney, Nikki Maxwell Freeman '95, the Great Maffei, Linda Pendzich, John Rowinski '69, and Michael Tubridy, who were all delighted to reconnect with former students, faculty, and friends.

A particularly meaningful part of the reunion is the anniversary class gifts, contributed by reunion classes, which help support Loughlin's ongoing mission and future initiatives.

Thank you to all who attended the reunion. God bless the class coordinators who worked tirelessly to make this year’s reunion a success.

Congratulations to the Class of 2009 with the most number of attendees!

LOUGHLIN ATHLETICS CELEBRATES CHAMPIONSHIP LEGACY WITH BANNER UNVEILING

FOR THE BASKETBALL TEAMS OF 1983 AND 1985

the 1984-85

of the 1982-83

In January, the Loughlin Athletic Department, in collaboration with the Office of Institutional Advancement, hosted a memorable event to honor the school's rich athletic history. Just before the much-anticipated triple header between Loughlin and Cardinal Hayes, the Loughlin community gathered to raise two new championship banners celebrating the boys basketball teams of 1982-83 and 1984-1985.

The festivities began with an alumni reception in the Library Media Center, where former students and athletes connected over shared memories and accomplishments. Following the reception, the celebration moved to the gymnasium for a special presentation before the varsity game.

During this presentation, Loughlin proudly unveiled updated championship banners in honor of the remarkable achievements of the 1982-83 and 1984-1985 basketball teams. These teams made a lasting impact on the school’s athletic legacy, and the banner ceremony was a fitting tribute to their NY State Championship and CHSAA B City Championship triumphs. The 1982-1983 state championship team is considered one of the best in our school's history.

In addition to recognizing the players, the ceremony also honored the girls who cheered on these teams during their championship runs, acknowledging their vital role in supporting the athletes and fostering school spirit.

BISHOP LOUGHLIN / ST. AUGUSTINE (SA)

Luciano Iorizzo ’48 SA published his seventh book in June, 2023—an autobiography, You Are Lucky, Luciano by Teneo Press, NY.

Gerald Buetow ’49 writes, "I am well into my 93rd year!" Retired for over 25 years as a trauma and vascular surgeon at Nassau University Medical Center, he was also an Associate Clinical Professor of Surgery at Stonybrook University School of Medicine. "I am a widower with seven children, 18 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Thanks to Bishop Loughlin, I was given a great start in my education—traveling daily via the LIRR from Hicksville, LI to Brooklyn (the hour-long commute spent doing homework). Thanks to all the Christian Brothers."

Bill Powers ’52 says "A runner for many years, and seeing a recent newspiece about Loughlin musicians playing the theme from Rocky (Gonna Fly Now) during the New York Marathon, prompts me to report that I recently won three medals in the North Carolina Senior Games (gold in the 5K run and 200-meter dash and silver in the 100 meters). But, I must add that there wasn't much competition in the 90-94 age category."

James Power ’52 is an attorney "working hopefully on my last case— 1031 tax free exchange (real estate) for my son...which means-no fee. I believe my first case, 64 years ago was also pro bono! In between, I managed to do pretty well"

Joseph Miccio ’53 SA, a member of St. Augustine Sports Hall of Fame (track), "didn’t realize the quality of education I received until I studied for promotion in FDNY." He retired as Battalion Chief, FDNY.

Joseph Staszak ’54 has been named chairman of the Discovery Village poker and bridge club. "All the credit goes to my teachers at Loughlin especially Br. Anselm, FSC."

Edward Farrell ’57 writes, "I have resumed volunteering at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, MS (two years after the COVID shutdown) two days a week with the public, and assist as needed with residents in the memory support unit. I also drive those who can't drive to activities in the community."

Robert Parmegiani ’57 SA, retired for the past 25 years from Upjohn Pharmaceutical, is "presently retired from PFIZER Pharmaceuticals and has worked in sales, marketing, and education for 30 years." He spends winters in FL with is wife Julie. They have six children and five grandchildren.

Leonard Tufaro ’57 is enjoying retirement, travel, and time with his grandchildren.

Joseph Carpenter ’58 SA retired in 2016 "after 50 years in education as a teacher, guidance counselor, track coach, assistant principal, and principal. He was an administrator on all levels K-12. He says, “The brothers at St. Augustine were great role models.”

Joseph Giacalone ’60 has recently published an ebook entitled Philatelic Economic and Business History of the United States. "The book tells the story of American economic development

through its postage stamps. It contains brief essays on over 200 stamps, a mini-course in economic history, and stamps exhibits of the automobile and toy industries. In retirement after 57 years of teaching Economics, the ebook is my attempt to combine my teaching career with my stamp collecting hobby and to demonstrate the educational value of stamps. However, anyone who loves history can enjoy this book. You don't have to be a stamp collector." Order from leanpub.com/economicphilatelic.

Thomas McKenzie ’60 reports he "cannot ride horses anymore at 81 years old."

Brian Connell ’62, widowed for ten years after 42 years of marriage, has moved to Long Beach, CA after 30 years in Simi Valley, CA. He retired in 1987 from the NYPD as a Lieutenant. "I was one of the first 100 police trainees. My education at Loughlin helped me understand policy in NYC."

Daniel Domenech ’62 retired after 55 years in education—he served as a school superintendent on Long Island for 20 years and Fairfax County, VA for seven years. He led AASA The School Superintendents Association for 15 years and is currently consulting and serving on numerous boards. He now lives in FL.

Jack Tyniec ’62 is enjoying retirement by visiting family, playing golf, serving on a community finance committee, and as a lector at his local parish. He has lived in Center Valley, PA for eight years— close to his son and grandchildren.

John Albertella ’63 writes, "Wishing myself an upcoming happy 80th birthday and thanking the good Lord for his grace to keep me and my Irish bride pushing and pulling. Wishing the very best of everything to all of my fellow Loughlin Lions. We're the best. And to my employer for the past 17 years, Judicial Watch, I celebrate a renewed commitment to our journey. May everyone live in faith and in peace. Are these Brothers of the Christian Schools amazing...or what? Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Daniel Galluccio ’63 is "happily retired since 2008 after working for 28.5 years at Reader's Digest Association and 12.5 years at AvisBudget Car Rental —all in computer programming and information technology. I now divide my time

between New Hampshire and St. Pete Beach, FL."

Bob Skier ’63 writes, "After graduation from Bishop Loughlin, my life was essentially going nowhere. I went to Br. Raphael, Loughlin's Guidance and Vocations Director, for advice. He suggested a visit the Academy of Aeronautics. I registered for classes and the rest is history. Br. Raphael was first class all the way! God Bless him!"

Jack Mercica ’64, and Jim Clark ’64 were the class reunion coordinators for the 2024 reunion. Jack wants to thank all the 1964 graduates who attended.

Edward Haggerty ’64 and his wife live in Milton, DE after moving from Rehoboth Beach, DE. They have lived in Prague and Melbourne, Australia. He writes, "I am very close to being completely retired and am in the process of finishing my first children's book, Beeper—it should released soon."

James Harding ’64 really enjoyed the 60th reunion in October. "The school looks great and the students are wonderful. I am mostly retired from practicing law. My wife Ginger and I are enjoying our two daughters

and our five grandchildren— the first getting married in October 2025. Many happy memories of Loughlin."

John Ross ’64 SA "gradually retired in early 2022 from clinical Periodontics and as a part-time Associate Professor at Virginia Dental School. I am currently visiting places and friends all over the world. Would love to hear from any classmates."

Craig Marshall ’65 is a proud father of three and grandparent of nine.

Matt Bromme ’66 "worked in education—from teacher, dean, assistant principal, principal (elementary and middle school), to becoming the superintendent of the largest geographical school district in the state of NY, responsible for the education of 40,000 students and supervision of 40 schools. We built three schools in the district during my tenure. I retired as Senior Operations Manager to the Chancellor."

Bill Kiley ’66 writes, "Now 76 years old, I review my life. I retired from

three decades with the Suffolk County Police Department as a Deputy Chief of Police. I served in the U.S. Army (Army National Guard and Army Reserve) for 30 years— began as a private and retired as a Colonel. Since retirement, I have held leadership positions in national and international organizations. Driven by concern about refugees, I have published two children's books. I married my Brooklyn childhood sweetheart, Kathy Lynch-Kiley, 53 years ago. We have two sons and five grandchildren— fortunate that our extended family lives close to us on LI. My years at Loughlin were foundational in all of my life."

George Ennis ’72 will be retiring soon and would like to pursue acting. "I have performed over the years but a paying job has not permitted me to commit. Go Lions!"

Richard Diaz ’82 opened a Mental Health Clinic and Family Practice Clinic in San Antonio, TX with his wife Sandy. His son is in college at Texas State University. "I relocated my mother from her apartment in Brooklyn to Texas. San Antonio was a duty station when I was active duty and after retiring after 20 years from the military, I decided to stay in San Antonio. If any classmates come to San Antonio, give me a call."

Michael Da Mata ’82 moved to FL in 1999 and married in 2010. "I remember my days at Loughlin fondly."

Wauneka Hardy ’83 expects to graduate next year with a bachelor's degree. "I will be retiring in another two years from law enforcement. Looking forward to relocating outside of NY State."

Sandra (Wooley) Gilliam ’86 writes, "I was a teacher for 17 years, a reading specialist for two years, an admin intern for one year, and an assistant principal for the last two years. Married to my husband Chris for 32 years, we have three children and a grandson. My sister went to Bishop Loughlin and we cherished our memories as a Lion."

Ana Oatis ’87 is retiring from the DOE as a teacher after 27 years.

Barry Gaines ’89 founded a nonprofit organization in Las Vegas named Gaines Con Media, Inc.

access to free equipment and programs that foster their talents."

Duane Crichlow ’91 writes, "Hey, y'all! Those who went to school with me know me as Dr. Love. I have worked for 22 years as a home attendant, or PCA— a job I am blessed to have, passing by Loughlin often on my way to and from work. When I'm not working, I have several hobbies—writing poetry and playing music on my keyboard. God-willing I look forward to attending our 35th anniversary reunion. God bless you all. Love ya! #purpleandgold4ever"

Andre Mathis ’05 has come full circle. "Almost 20 years after Mr. Foley told me to apply to Binghamton University (and I told him I didn’t know where that was), I've been working at the university for three years after undergraduate and graduate school and working in the area for a little while. I am the Chair of the Professional Staff Senate and the Employee Engagement Specialist."

LANCER REUNION AND HALL OF FAME 2024

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE 1926-1969

On October 5, over 100 guests gathered to celebrate the enduring legacy of St. Augustine High School as well as honor the 2024 inductees into the Lancer Hall of Fame. The evening was a memorable occasion filled with camaraderie, pride, and a shared commitment to Bishop Loughlin's future.

The event highlighted the remarkable generosity of the Lancers, with a special focus on scholarship support that enable countless students to pursue their dreams. Over the past year alone, Lancers have contributed more than $132,000 toward scholarships. Looking at the last decade, this support has totaled an impressive 1.7 million dollars, ensuring the Lancer legacy of educational excellence continues to thrive.

The event was a testament to the strength of the Loughlin and St. Augustine alumni network and their shared dedication to ensuring the continued success of future students. As Lancers, they remain committed not only to celebrating the rich history of their alma mater but also to investing in the future of education and opportunity for young people who follow in their footsteps.

Inducted into the Lancer Hall of Fame for 2024 were Stephen A. Giordano ’69, Sylvester Harris ’68 (posthumously) , Frank J. Valentino ’70 (posthumously) , Edward T. Stack ’69, Louis Valentino ’69 (posthumously) , Thomas F. Van Buskirk ’70, and Jerome J. Walsh ’69

It is clear that the legacy of St. Augustine High School, and Loughlin, lives on—supported by an unwavering commitment to scholarship, community, and the values that have always defined these institutions.

The success of the event would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the Lancer Alumni Committee, whose members tirelessly worked behind the scenes to make the celebration unforgettable. A special thank you, for their leadership and commitment, to committee members Frank Clark ’69, Albert Daniti ’68, Edward Fogarty ’67, Paul Gale ’55, Stephen Giordano ’69, Chair, Paul Jamin ’58, James McHugh ’62, Bernard Monohan ’54, Philip Napolitano ’68, Vincent Passione ’68, Thomas Van Buskirk ’70, Vincent Visco ’68, and Jerome Walsh ’69.
