FROM THE ARCHIVES Daniel Glackin '91 Below, Daniel Glackin '91 details his memories of graduating from Regis Jesuit High School “I remember my last year of Regis Jesuit High School as the first graduating class of the new school. Spending my first three years at the old campus in Denver, it was important to me to graduate from Regis with my friends and finish the best education I started. My parents told me they wanted me to stay more local, but I persisted and finished at the new school. I remember staring out the library windows at the majestic Rockies, watching the ducks in the retaining pond, and most importantly the camaraderie the students and teachers had. One of my fondest memories is the meditation classes we had in the Blessed Rupert Mayer Chapel. I still use many of the techniques today to deal with my PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). I remember putting on my headband, putting red and white war paint on, and running the Regis colors across the stands during football games. Of course, the ultimate memory is of that first graduation at the new campus with 102 classmates in the courtyard in May of 1991. Since graduation I had served in the Army for 4-1/2 years, gotten married, have three daughters, and served as a Marine for 16-1/2 years retiring as a Marine. During the military years I did two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. I now live in Danville, Kentucky and work at Hobart as line leader for industrial ware-wash machines. As I am once a Marine, Always a Marine, I will forever be a Raider.”
