Board of Trustees The Board of Trustees at Christian Brothers High School is comprised of 13 volunteers who are alumni, parents of alumni, friends, educators and professionals dedicated to safeguarding and advancing the school’s Lasallian Catholic college preparatory mission. Before joining the Board of Trustees, candidates undergo training on Lasallian charism (history, spirituality and philosophy of education) and Policy Governance – a model used by Lasallian schools throughout the District of San Francisco New Orleans. In the 2019-20 school year, the board welcomed two new members, Margarita Fernandez and Ron Metzker. Steve Mahaney ’69 serves in the role of chair and Don Fitzgerald is the vice chair. The Policy Governance model comprises an inclusive, written set of goals for the school, called Ends Policies, which guide the board in monitoring the performance of the school through the President/CEO. Ends Policies help ensure that Christian Brothers High School adheres to the vision of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and the District of San Francisco New Orleans. “Participating in the guidance of Christian Brothers High School has been very rewarding and inspiring for me,” says Chair Steve Mahaney ’69. “It is an honor to represent the Brothers in helping fulfill their Lasallian mission of providing a superior education to a diverse student body comprised of students from all backgrounds, races and socio-economic levels. We are blessed to have a welcoming faculty and staff at CB providing students with a safe and positive environment to learn, grow and blossom.” “The members of the Board of Trustees donate their time and expertise, and are dedicated to fulfilling the vision and responsibilities entrusted to us by the Brothers. The Trustees are committed, talented and intelligent people with diverse backgrounds all with the same goal of ensuring CB provides an excellent education for our students. We are mindful of our school’s rich history and we embrace the opportunity to ensure Christian Brothers High School remains the place to be.”

Connection is a publication of Christian Brothers High School. The purpose of the magazine is to strengthen the connection between the school and alumni, parents and friends; to cultivate community support for assisting CB in its operation and advancement; and to recognize and thank supporters.

Message From the President Spring 2020 Dear Alumni, Families and Friends: As I write this letter, campus is shuttered with faculty and staff working from home as Sacramento and much of Northern California come to grips with “stay at home” and “shelter in place” orders. The directives came in just as Christian Brothers High School had transitioned to Digital Learning Days. Our teachers have risen to the occasion with creativity, determination and an inspirational spirit of collaboration. So, while there is no substitute for the classroom experience and relationships at the heart of our Lasallian Catholic community, I have no doubt that quality instruction, personal connection and learning will continue for as long as is necessary. One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Lasallian charism is practical innovation. St. John Baptist de La Salle was known for looking at current realities and adjusting educational services to meet the needs of students. He would be proud of CB’s educators for their heroic work at reinventing Lasallian Catholic education on very short notice. We are blessed to have excellent teachers and a robust technology program anchored by our iPad program and learning management system, Schoology. Augmenting these are a host of online platforms for meeting, connecting and sharing information. As we see schools and districts throughout the nation, and in our own community, struggling to identify ways to navigate and educate in these uncertain times, we are profoundly grateful to be in a position of strength. We are grateful for the families who entrust us with the hearts and minds of their daughters and sons. And, we are grateful for the generations of alumni, families and friends whose generosity has allowed us to create and maintain a phenomenal technology program that facilitates our rigorous learning program, even in the most challenging of circumstances. As always, we are anchored by our faith. Each morning, our Director of Campus Ministry and members of our student campus ministry team, God Squad, post a prayer to allow us to begin each day as we do on campus, with a reminder that we are always in the holy presence of God. This is followed by a “midday moment” of reflection, mindfulness and gratitude.

When we do return to campus, our students will enjoy CB’s new athletic facilities including the Peter P. Bollinger ’57 Stadium (see page 3). In February, we celebrated the culmination of the Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I with the grand opening and dedication of the facilities. Though our time using the facilities has been limited, generations of students will benefit from this incredible endeavor. Economists and civic leaders by and large are predicting the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be significant. CB is financially strong. The school is not burdened by longterm debt and we have modest reserves. Further, we have no major deferred maintenance projects. Most importantly, we have outstanding PEOPLE. In other words, we have been careful stewards of the resources that have been entrusted to our care. Our conscientious stewardship over the years positions us to ride out this storm. The Annual Report of Gifts (see page 27) and list of donors reflects gifts received during the July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 time period. We are grateful to all the alumni, families and friends of the school who share of their resources to ensure that Christian Brothers High School continues to thrive. Your generosity ensures that we are positioned to maintain the CB tradition of excellent, valuecentered, Catholic, Lasallian education for generations to come. We pray that you all stay well and healthy. Live Jesus in our hearts!

Christian Brothers High School Announces New President Christian Brothers High School is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Crystal LeRoy as President, effective July 1, 2020. Dr. LeRoy, who will be the fifth president in school history, takes over for Lorcan Barnes who announced in July of 2019 that the 2019-20 school year would be his final year of service to the school. She brings considerable experience as an educator and administrator to the role, currently serving as Superintendent/Chief School Business Official of Kenilworth Public Schools in Kenilworth, Illinois and adjunct professor at Northeastern Illinois University. She holds a bachelor's degree in international relations from Northwestern University and attained her master's degree in cultural education and policy studies from Loyola University. She later earned her school business official certification from Northern Illinois University before earning her doctorate in educational administration and supervision from Loyola University. This news is the culmination of a thoughtful and thorough process that began with the formation of a Presidential Search Committee in September and securing the services of an executive search firm later in the fall. Following an extensive nationwide search and in-depth review of applications, 18 candidates were identified and interviewed. Seven men and women advanced to a more extensive interview after which three finalists were identified. The three finalists were invited to meet with members of the community including parents, faculty and staff members, alumni and other stakeholders. The Board of Trustees then conducted an extensive interview with the candidates and concluded that Dr. LeRoy will best serve the community. “I am deeply honored and profoundly humbled to be invited to serve as President of Christian Brothers High School,” says Dr. LeRoy. “The opportunity to unite my Catholic faith with my vocation as an educator is a dream come true. To do so in the rich and transformative Lasallian charism of the Christian Brothers is a blessing and a trust that I hold sacred. I so look forward to working with the wonderful faculty, staff, families, alumni and friends of the school to ensure that CB continues to be a strong, vibrant and faith-filled community for generations to come.” “Dr. LeRoy is a faith-filled and visionary leader,” says Board of Trustees President Steve Mahaney ‘69. “We look forward to partnering with her as she leads the school in living the tenets of our Lasallian Core Principles – faith in the presence of God, quality education, inclusive community, respect for all persons, and concern for the poor and social justice.” Christian Brothers is looking forward to sharing more information about Dr. LeRoy in the future.

Crossing the Finish Line Christian Brothers celebrates the completion of the Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I and grand opening of the Peter P. Bollinger ’57 Stadium. Christian Brothers’ Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I focused on raising $11.8 million to construct a synthetic turf field and all-weather track, grow the school’s endowment for tuition assistance and improve parking. In strategically planning for the future, school leaders, in collaboration with community stakeholders, architects and building professionals, created a bold 15-year campus master plan during the 2013-2014 academic year. In just three years after the grand opening of the George Cunningham ’40 Performing Arts Center, President Lorcan Barnes publicly announced the campaign in the fall of 2017, sharing the news at the annual Ambassadors’ Club Dinner. Thanks to the generous gifts and support we have received through the recent years, we are thrilled to announce that we crossed the finish line in December 2019 and exceeded our campaign goal. Alumni, families and friends have committed an impressive $12.6 million in gifts and pledges.

CB BREAKS GROUND ON OUTDOOR ATHLETIC FACILITIES AND PARKING LOT In July, earth moving equipment was brought in for site preparation work. Construction began during the summer as hardworking crews simultaneously worked on the outdoor athletic facilities and parking lot, with the ambitious goal of completing the parking lot by the first day of school on August 14, 2019 – a goal successfully completed. By the time students arrived on campus, 100 new parking spots were readily available, ensuring more efficient traffic flow and greater parking capacity. Christian Brothers officially broke ground on the new outdoor athletic facilities and parking lot on June 27, 2019. Excited students, parents, alumni and stakeholders were in attendance on this beautiful summer evening. Director of Advancement Nancy Smith-Fagan and President Lorcan Barnes shared brief speeches followed by a personal account by Lena Mikacich ’22, describing her experience as a multi-sport student-athlete at CB playing tennis and lacrosse, and how this new stadium will allow her, and students like her, to be the best possible student-athlete they can be. Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I Chair, Willie Nolan ’69, spoke about the strong impact of volunteers on this campaign.

“Our mission is to produce graduates who are spiritually rich, morally courageous and intellectually distinguished,” says President Barnes. “Athletics is a means to that end. Athletics engage students in the life of their school.” AFTER

GRAND OPENING OF THE PETER P. BOLLINGER ’57 STADIUM! The Culmination of Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I In commemoration and gratitude of the completion of the stadium, the Christian Brothers community gathered to celebrate the dedication, blessing and grand opening of the Peter P. Bollinger ’57 Stadium on February 27, 2020. The event began with a welcome from Director of Advancement Nancy Smith-Fagan, followed by a fantastic drumline performance and parade of student-athletes proudly displaying their Falcon spirit. The American flag was raised for the first time by members of the athletic department, Gloria Barela, Melissa Flowers and Jake Hunley ‘96. Emily Hancock ’20 performed a beautiful rendition of the national anthem. Honorary alumnus, Msgr. Al O’Connor, presided over a beautiful blessing ritual as the sun was setting in the background. President Lorcan Barnes shared remarks about important moments throughout the campaign and how the entire project sustains the Christian Brothers mission well into the future.

“At CB, athletics is more than just competition,” states Dale Milton, athletic director. “We place the emphasis on student-athletes, where academics come first as sports are part of developing the whole person. We believe that through sports, we help young people develop skills that will serve them well into the future – teamwork, sportsmanship, dedication, perseverance, and winning and losing gracefully.” On behalf of the school, CB football players presented Mr. Bollinger with a signed football commemorating the dedication of the Peter P. Bollinger ’57 Stadium. “It is always a reflection when you get older; what did your education do for you?” reflects Mr. Bollinger. “In my case, it made a major difference in my outlook for life, my approach to people, and the Christian ethic. I’ve tried to carry that on for my entire life and I want to thank Christian Brothers for giving me that opportunity…I love Christian Brothers dearly.” Lauren Towne ’20 shared how her student-athlete experience at CB will help her in the next phase of her life, continuing her soccer career at Gonzaga University, and expressed her gratitude for Mr. Bollinger and donors like him for making the new athletic facilities and improvements possible. Student-athletes then took to the track and field for a celebration of athletic firsts, including the first of many kick offs, throws, pitches, passes, and sprints to the finish line. In celebratory fashion, attendees ended the evening by enjoying delicious food truck eats on the plaza. This joyous event marked the culmination of CB’s Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I and an important project that has been years in the making. The beautiful state-of-the-art multi-sport stadium includes a turf field, all-weather six-lane track, stands for 1,200 fans, press box, digital scoreboard and lights. Included are new and improved dugouts and field surface for softball, batting cages for baseball, a JV baseball field, discus and shotput rings, a welcoming entrance and a plaza for community gathering. We are grateful for our partnership with Jackson Construction, who have built every facility on the CB campus in the past 25 years. The education of students extends beyond the classroom into the athletic arena. Our student-athletes will now be able to train and compete on facilities that match their God-given gifts and talents. They will grow personally and physically in an environment that challenges them to become the

best person they can be. They will continue to hone their skills in teamwork, leadership and perseverance. The CB community will have a greater sense of pride and school spirit.

longevity,” says Bollinger. “I have witnessed big changes in Catholic education through the years and CB is on an ascending trajectory. I am encouraged by the fact that CB is doing so well. It’s important to keep the school and the scholastic level where it is, so the tradition goes on.”

In 1956, a seventeen-year-old student by the name of Peter P. Bollinger ’57 walked onto the newly opened campus of Bishop Armstrong High School in Oak Park looking forward to running track and playing on the brand-new football field. Little did this “All-City, all-Catholic” student-athlete imagine that in 2020 a state-of-the-art track and field would bear his name. The alumnus has come full circle, making a transformative gift to his alma mater to help fund the construction of the Peter P. Bollinger ’57 Stadium.

Bollinger’s gift to the Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I is, indeed, helping to ensure that the tradition goes on. “I can’t say enough how grateful we are for Mr. Bollinger’s incredible generosity,” says President Lorcan Barnes. “His transformative gift is a testament to the Brothers who touched his heart in the 1950s and a gift to current and future Falcons. Not only does his gift help give our students a facility that matches their God-given gifts, it positions CB well for future growth.”

Bollinger began his high school education at Christian Brothers at the 21st and Broadway location, before moving to the new Bishop Armstrong campus in Oak Park, the first year it opened. According to Bollinger, Bishop Armstrong’s first principal, Brother Gabriel, certainly had his hands full. “This large cohesive group of young men had to adjust to the presence of females. It took a long time for us to settle in,” he recalls with a laugh. “He took the brunt of our rebellions and handled it very well.” When Bollinger wasn’t in the classroom, he was busy with co-curricular activities. A multi-sport varsity athlete, he excelled at track, football and basketball. He was also Bishop Armstrong’s first student council president. Bollinger remembers his high school years fondly.

When asked about the inspiration behind his decision to give so generously, Bollinger explains, “I felt obligated to give. I owe the school, the community and the Brothers so much. Everything I got out of the school, I felt I should give something back.” In recognition of the important role CB has played in his life, Bollinger’s generous gift will help the school continue to provide that same formative experience to students today and future generations.

“I treasure the education I received from the Brothers,” states Bollinger. “The biggest lesson I carried with me from school was the value of honesty and simply, treating other people how you would want to be treated. My parents, grandparents and the school all taught me the importance of this value and I’ve carried it with me all my life.” After high school, Bollinger went on to attend Sacramento State University and make his mark on the Sacramento region through commercial development. He became a world traveler and an avid hunter and fisherman. Along the way, his family grew to include children and an abundance of grandchildren. “Family is very important to me,” states Bollinger. “I always find great joy in having the whole family together.” Even after his time at Bishop Armstrong, Bollinger continues to be a proponent and supporter of Lasallian Catholic education. “One of the things that impresses me most about CB is its

To sum it all up, Bollinger notes, “There’s a real love for the school by a large cadre of people. I am happy to be able to give back. It’s a very positive feeling for me to be able to do this.”

TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM RECEIVES BOOST FROM ENDOWMENT COMMITMENTS Recent fundraising efforts were not limited to construction alone. Through the Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I, Christian Brothers has received $2.6 million in commitments for the school’s endowment for tuition assistance. We believe every student, regardless of economic status, deserves a quality education. With an enduring commitment to service to the poor, CB is the region’s leader in tuition assistance, providing $2.8 million to 421 students in the 2019-20 school year. Nationally, only 51% of low incoming students attend college. At CB, we are proud to say 99% of our low-income students attend college. Tuition assistance creates educational opportunities and breaks the cycle of poverty. We are grateful to all volunteers and donors at every giving level for their support of CB in the Securing the Future Campaign – Phase I. Thank you for helping build the foundation of the school’s future.

CB CELEBRATES 143

RD

Christian Brothers High School celebrated its 143rd commencement on Friday, May 24, awarding diplomas to graduating seniors and adding 263 young men and women to its renowned ranks of alumni.

1

The day began with Baccalaureate Mass at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament officiated by the Most Reverend Bishop Jaime Soto. Following mass, graduates and their families enjoyed a luncheon at school and celebrated graduation that evening at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium. The evening proved to be the ideal ending to four years of hard work and fond memories. Senior class president, Evdokia Tsiopos (School of the Art Institute of Chicago) served as master of ceremonies. Nicholas Kennedy (University of California, Santa Barbara) provided the salutatory address with Alanna O’Neill (Pomona College) serving as valedictorian. CB’s class of 2019 instrumentalists earned a loud roar of applause

8 CHRISTIAN BROTHERS CONNECTION

for their vibrant rendition of Bruno Mars’ “Finesse” followed by a performance of Charlie Puth’s “One Call Away” by Honors Vocal Jazz. Kennedy’s overall theme in his salutatory address was love, stating “Everything is love. From the minute I showed up on this campus, I was shown love. Each and every lunch that I spent with a new group of people who sat with me and gave their friendship to me, expecting nothing in return, was an act of love. The teachers and the staff who have dedicated their lives to making Christian Brothers what it is – a community and a home for so many – have done so out of tremendous love. Every time we showed up to a sporting event, went to a dance, volunteered or went on retreat, we did so out of love. All of us, this whole class, have been so generous and so giving of ourselves in ways that continue to surprise and impress me. And I’m comfortable in knowing that that’s not something that ends tonight. It’s inside each of us. That love goes wherever we go.”

2019 Lasallian Educator of the Year TOMÁS CAPOGRECO ’86

An alumnus of Christian Brothers, Capogreco (best known as ‘Cap’) found his way back to CB unexpectedly. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Spanish from California State University, Sacramento and later attended school in Guadalajara, México for his master’s degree in Spanish. Through the program, he got the opportunity to teach English at a local high school, where he fell in love with teaching. After completing his master’s program, he returned to the states and worked in a lumber yard as he took his passion for teaching to the next level in the teaching credential program at Chapman University. One day, a coworker showed him a Spanish teacher job posting, which happened to be a position at his high school alma mater. Capogreco made a call to CB, scheduled an interview for the next day, earned the job on the spot in the fall of 1994, and hasn’t looked back. “It’s awesome to come back and teach at

18 CHRISTIAN BROTHERS CONNECTION

the place I went to and give back to the community that gave me my high school education,” reflects Capogreco. “I enjoy working with former teachers.” During his 26 years at the school, he has taught Spanish II, III, and IV, and is involved with the KBFT senior video class, which had begun as a video club in the 90s. Sarah Slakey Colwell ’99 had asked him to be the club moderator and the club soon took off in popularity, later being incorporated into what is now KBFT. Capogreco also formerly moderated the junior class council, Black Student Union for 10 years, Lasallian Youth, and the study abroad program where he took students on Mexican and European learning excursions. He annually attends the Student Television Network (STN) Convention for KBFT and currently participates in the Diversity and Inclusion Committee, VENAVER and Kairos retreats (even before the Kairos retreat program began), faculty and staff choir, and performs with students and

colleagues at Open Mic Night. With music being a large part of his life, Capogreco is known for incorporating music into his lesson plans as well. His ability to connect with students begins instantly in the classroom. “The most important part about Cap is his heart,” says Anthony Sweha ’19. “He doesn’t just teach you, he cares about you. Cap never fails to spread positive energy wherever he is.” The connection he has with his students extends beyond their four years at Christian Brothers. When there’s a Wine, Beer & Food Extravaganza or a CB 10- and 20-year reunion, there’s Capogreco. “His heart touches everyone with whom he has contact,” notes Tom English. “This is continually evident in the vast number of alumni who seek him out at school social functions many years after they have graduated. The alumni are all there to tell him what they are doing with their lives and expressing thanks for the connection he had with them while they were students. And most importantly, because of his unending care for his students, he is interested in and cares about everything they are telling him and everything they are doing.” Having taken part in a wide variety of activities, groups, and events, Capogreco has gotten to know a significant number of students both in and out of the classroom over the years. If it’s not the rock n’ roll shirt, leather jacket, boots, and the long hair that people remember about him, it’s certainly the infamous wall of photos of former and current students in his classroom dating back to his first year of teaching at CB. What begun simply as students wanting to bring in and share pictures with him turned into an elaborate display that everyone wants to be a part of. “Cap’s wall is the manifestation of his importance to the CB community: he loves and cherishes the personal bonds he has with his students,” states Sweha. Capogreco’s sincere dedication, love, and compassion for his students, colleagues, and the Christian Brothers community are among the numerous reasons why he is CB’s 2019 Lasallian Educator of the Year.

Happy Retirement! Thank you Jill Bennett for your 29 years of dedicated service! We are grateful for your service to the students of Christian Brothers High School and for the many “miracles” you performed. We wish you happiness and God’s blessings as you enjoy retirement.

32nd Annual

The Christian Brothers Wine, Beer & Food Extravaganza is the annual party with a purpose that’s not to be missed. Each September, CB alumni, friends and families enjoy a vibrant evening of Sacramento’s excellent food, libations, entertainment and fellowship. Attendees enjoyed samples from 53 vendors in the wine garden and 54 beer garden vendors. In its 32nd year, the event generated a record-breaking $187,000 in support of tuition assistance at CB. A big thank you to Mike Genovese, Lon Burford '73 and Kelly Brothers for their continued support as the event's Presenting Sponsor. Attendees of the Private Reserve Tasting had the special opportunity to arrive an hour before the main event and enjoy exclusive food and drinks. A live performance by Mark Wellendorf ‘83 provided tunes to set the mood on the Mary Lawn. Rolf Schumann, Tomas Capogreco ’86 and Christian Bohm served as “CB-lebrity” bartenders. The popular Cigar Bar, sponsored by Northern California Carpenters Union, hosted a variety of quality cigars and bourbon tastings. The Kyle

Tuttle ‘05 Band provided the entertainment on the wine lawn stage. Uptown Funk, the electrifying Bruno Mars tribute band from Los Angeles, performed on the beer garden stage on Koppes Plaza, resulting in nothing short of fun and high energy.

“This evening is phenomenal for many reasons, most importantly the huge impact it has on our tuition assistance program in supporting and giving more students the opportunity to have a quality education at Christian Brothers," says CB President Lorcan Barnes. “This event would not have been possible without the behind the scenes work by event chair Rick Pires ‘79, Events Coordinator Joan Schubert ‘00, Director of Advancement Nancy Smith-Fagan, Director of Alumni Giving Yolanda Torrecillas, and a dedicated group of alumni, volunteers and vendors.”

Dinner at Christian Brothers High School. The event served as an opportunity for members of the CB community to express their gratitude and thank those who have generously supported the school. As the sun was setting, attendees had a firsthand viewing of the construction of the Peter P. Bollinger ’57 Stadium. Nancy Smith-Fagan served as master of ceremonies for the event. The evening began with remarks from President Lorcan Barnes and prayer with CB Board of Trustee member, Brother Dan Morgan, FSC. Following them was a wonderful performance from Honors Chorale, under the direction of choral director, Christian Bohm. The students performed several pieces, including “For Good” from “Wicked” to recognize the donors’ support. This year’s special Ambassadors of the Year honorees were was Jerry ’53 and Rosemary Kirrene for their dedication to preserving and sharing the history of Christian Brothers. Inspired by his father’s service as The La Salle Club’s longest-serving volunteer, Jerry assembled a history committee to organize and document the school’s achievements. A project that has been 10 years in the making, the CB archives has expanded to an online database of over 2,000 reference items. Thanks to the dream team of Jerry and Rosemary, CB’s history and legacy lives on for future students and guests. Together, they are faithful donors and role models for philanthropic support. In the spirit of the evening, various members of the CB community spoke on behalf of the past, present and future of the school, including Sal “Chado” Vasquez ’52, Ekenna Anya-Gafu ’10 and President Lorcan Barnes. In his speech, Anya-Gafu expressed the impact Christian Brothers had on his life and how it has helped shape who he is today. He learned important qualities, including competition and compassion, and how they apply to his life. It was because of CB that he found good role models who helped him stay on the right path and people who became like family.

Jerry ’53 and Rosemary Kirrene 2019 AMBASSADORS OF THE YEAR Jerry Kirrene ’53 credits his father, Joe Kirrene, Sr., with inspiring his service to Christian Brothers High School. Joe, who joined The La Salle Club as treasurer in 1945, continues to hold the record as the longest-serving volunteer in club history with an extraordinary 39 years. Jerry fondly remembers rolling coins as his father tallied the profits from La Salle Club Frolics, baseball dinners, coaches’ nights and the like. “Our dining room was covered with ledgers and notes as my dad worked on events to help support the school,” said Jerry. “Long after my brothers (Joe ’49, Robert ’56 and Thomas ’63) and I graduated, my dad continued the work because he believed in the work of the Brothers and was happy to support it. In fact, he was named an honorary alumnus because of his dedicated service.” That example set into motion a project that has been over a decade in the making and has necessitated significantly more space than a kitchen table throughout the years. In 2009, Jerry assembled a history committee comprised of former students, teachers, coaches, and parents to launch a comprehensive effort to organize and document the school’s achievements. Rosemary, Jerry’s wife, who he describes lovingly as the “wind beneath my wings,” prepared sumptuous dinners for the group to entice them to attend meetings. “There is no way this group would have been successful without her,” enthuses Jerry. “Nobody would have showed up!” Aided by yearbooks, private scrapbooks, old photographs, personal testimony, and newspaper articles, the committee put together detailed historical accounts of football, basketball, baseball, and the La Salle Club. They collected information on the medical, scientific, legal, and academic contributions made by CB graduates. One member of the group, Dr. Bill Iliff ’76, even wrote a book, the aptly titled “Let Us Remember.” Jerry also began scanning yearbooks and important documents. With significant assistance from Thomas Colby ’53, a database was born. Today, this online archive (www.CBarchives.com) contains more than 2,000 reference items with more added each week. “They also collected a large stockpile of school memorabilia that at one time filled the basement of their home,” says CB President Lorcan Barnes. “Jerry and Rosemary’s dedication to preserving and sharing the history of this great school is truly above and beyond.”

26 CHRISTIAN BROTHERS CONNECTION

“Jerry dedicates at least two days a week to building the archive,” says Rosemary. “We love the school. It is such an important part of our family. Jerry, his brothers, our sons (Kenny ’78 and David ’81) and six of our grandchildren (Kaalen ’13, Mary ’14, Jerett ’15, Remington ’17, Kamryn ’18 and Keaton ’19) are graduates. Our son-in-law, Chuck Zannetti, taught there for many years. It’s a very special place to us.” In addition to the considerable time dedicated to history preservation, Jerry also serves as the unofficial president of the Brotherhoods, a social group of CB graduates who began gathering monthly, in the name of Christian Brothers, over 45 years ago. Though its founding members were from the graduating classes of the 1930s and 1940s, membership today has expanded to include “youngsters” from the 1950s through the 1980s, with the youngest member being from the class of 2007. “I’ve met some incredible people through the Brotherhoods and this history project,” says Jerry. “I like history. I love the school. Thinking back, I was not the best student during my years at CB. Thankfully, the Brothers never gave up on me. Their patient expectations got me through, and I left CB equipped with an excellent education, well prepared for college and beyond. As I look back, I appreciate their caring patience even more. They didn’t just make me a better student; they made me a better person.” The legacy of the school not only exists within alumni experiences but also those currently attending Christian Brothers. History starts today. “I want younger students to know they are a part of this incredible legacy,” says Jerry, who also works with freshman class religion teachers to coordinate alumni visits. “I want the students to know they are really important to us. Helping them understand that is really important to me.” “It’s remarkable to think that what began seventy-four years ago with ledgers and receipts spread across the Kirrene family’s kitchen table has evolved into three generations of graduates and a lifetime of service,” says CB President Lorcan Barnes. “Thanks to Jerry and Rosemary, countless CB students, alumni and guests will know they are a part of something special as their work lives on in the CB archives and the impressive collection of memorabilia that is now displayed in various sites throughout our campus. Through the years, they have been incredibly generous in sharing their time, talent and treasure in support of our mission. We are profoundly grateful for all that they have done for CB over the years and on behalf of the 1,157 students who enter each day to learn, and will soon leave to serve, I proudly congratulate and humbly thank Jerry ’53 and Rosemary Kirrene, our 2019 Ambassadors of the Year.”

DONOR PROFILE

Dan ’72 and Vickie Smolich GIVING BACK A recently retired Christian Brothers track and field coach of 15 years, Dan ’72 and his wife, Vickie, are excited about the future of the school and what the sport can do with a proper facility thanks to the Securing the Future Campaign. Running has always been in Dan’s blood. He began running in grade school and ran track and field and cross country during his time at CB. He fondly remembers his time as a student-athlete. “My experience was great. Those were some of the best times of my life. I ran on the same track almost 50 years ago. The new all-weather track and synthetic turf field will provide our athletes with the opportunity to train in all weather conditions. This will allow our teams to better compete with schools that already have similar facilities.” Dan’s experience at CB came full circle when he became a coach for the sport he was incredibly passionate about. He got the unique perspective of working with what he describes as “two types of athletes. Those who were naturally talented and those who may have struggled at first but improve as they go. Both types were equally rewarding to coach.” “Dan’s commitment as a CB coach over the past 15 years was a labor of love on his part for the school and the students,” says Vickie. “I know he will miss this connection with the CB students and staff. While we have consistently donated financially to CB through the years, Dan’s time as a track and field distance coach is a great example of the many ways alumni can give back to the school.” Not only did Dan retire from coaching, he retired from his business, Dan Smolich Plumbing, after 30 years. Vickie also recently retired from her clinical trials work at the UC Davis Medical Center. Both are currently enjoying the retired life, spending time more time with family and traveling. They love coming back and supporting the Falcons at track and field meets and events, occasionally attend CB’s Alumni Dinner, and often gather with fellow alumni for lunch every few months. The Christian Brothers tradition runs deep in the Smolich family. Dan’s father, Anthony ’41, siblings (Carolyn Meza ’64, Tom ’67, Beverly ’78, Dave ’84), and members of the couple’s extended family attended CB. Their two children, Lauren ’10 and Matt ’06, are graduates as well.

“Dan’s commitment as a CB coach over the past 15 years was a labor of love on his part for the school and the students.” What is it that makes Dan and Vickie continue to support Christian Brothers? “Christian Brothers has a long history of offering a safe and inclusive learning environment,” says Dan. “As a coach it has been great to see the kids grow and mature both as students and athletes over their four years. We appreciate the sense of community the faculty and staff provide and their emphasis on the development of the whole person. It’s great to see the improvements to the campus and we want to continue to support these efforts.” They are thrilled about the new Peter P. Bollinger ‘57 Stadium and looking forward to witnessing CB’s student-athletes perform to their highest ability in the best possibly facility.

DONOR PROFILE

Mike Stinson ’82 LEAVE TO SERVE With a rich Lasallian family history, it’s no wonder Mike Stinson ’82 feels connected to Christian Brothers. His father Mike Stinson ’59, uncle Tom Stinson ’58, godfather Jerry Stinson ’60, niece and current freshman Alessandra Salvini ’23, as well as numerous other family members attended Bishop Armstrong and Christian Brothers High School (with two nephews and an additional niece as future Falcons). During his time at CB, Stinson enjoyed playing sports, spending time with his core group of friends, and going to school dances with sister schools, Bishop Manogue and St. Francis. After high school, he continued his Lasallian education and attended Saint Mary’s College of California where he earned his bachelor’s degree in history with a minor in communications.

“I had such a connection with the Brothers that St. Mary’s was the only school that I applied to. Christian Brothers and St. Mary’s were a significant part of my development.” outdoors,” says Stinson. “I decided I’d rather be happy and passionate about my work than miserable with a fat wallet.” With that passion and the drive to be his own boss, he started his company in 1995, which continues to grow. The Lasallian message of serving others has stayed with Stinson to this day. “I attended CB and St. Mary’s at a very vulnerable time in my life and I’m indebted to the Christian Brothers for their guidance and care,” states Stinson. “I could easily have turned out much differently if it wasn’t for their love. I would have been lost in a public school and I want current students of need to have the opportunities I did.” Stinson makes monthly contributions to the Alumni Fund to support tuition assistance at Christian Brothers. He emphasizes that gifts of any size make a difference.

“I had such a connection with the Brothers that St. Mary’s was the only school that I applied to,” recalls Stinson. “Christian Brothers and St. Mary’s were a significant part of my development.” He fondly remembers and credits much of his personal growth to his CB teachers, particularly Brother Edward Oliver, Mr. Dennis Eagan, Mr. Jack Witry, Mr. Jack Papin, Mr. Dave Griffith, and Mr. Steve Crutcher who kept classes interesting, taught him to think outside of the box and were people he admired. Stinson currently owns a swimming pool repair business in Folsom, Mike the Poolman, initially getting into the field unexpectedly. After college, he had a successful job in sales but realized he didn’t have the desire for it. He preferred working with his hands, leading him to the pool business. It was then that he found his true calling. “I was a natural at understanding mechanical concepts and I loved working

“We are thankful for the generosity of Mike Stinson and all our donors,” says Nancy Smith-Fagan, director of advancement. “We have seen that monthly, recurring gifts are an easy and manageable way for donors to give. Small monthly donations contribute to a big impact for CB students.” Thanks to Stinson and donors like him, Christian Brothers can be a reality for students, just as it was for his family members and him.

DONOR PROFILE

The Honorable Troy Nunley and Susan Lawrence-Nunley ‘84 MAKING AN IMPACT Life was not always easy for Judge Troy Nunley and Susan Lawrence-Nunley ’84, who grew up in less fortunate households and whose parents sacrificed time and money to put their children through school. The two have incorporated what they have learned from their backgrounds, education, values, and common desire to make a difference in the community in their lives and line of work today. They have a strong belief in the legacy of the Brothers and the importance of the Lasallian mission. Lawrence-Nunley attended Bishop Manogue and Nunley went to Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory in San Francisco along with his brothers. The couple met at Saint Mary’s College of California where they were both English majors. In fact, Lawrence-Nunley was the first in her family to attend college. Three of their four children, Cimone ’08, Celeste, and current freshman Dylan ’23, attended Christian Brothers, as well as Lawrence-Nunley’s brother, Patrick Lawrence ’87, and uncle Roger Caetano ’53. The pair instilled a rule for their children that if they did well in grade school, they could choose where they would go for high school. “I had always hoped they would choose CB,” says Nunley. “I like the values the Brothers impressed on me there. Students learn about various aspects of life – spiritualism, academics, and how to be a young adult.” “I wanted them to go to CB because that’s where I went,” explains Lawrence-Nunley. “Christian Brothers is connected to the Sacramento community. You learn what it means to give back and how to be connected to the world. We need more people to feel connected.” Nunley is a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of California, appointed by former U.S. President Barack Obama in 2013. “I have always wanted to be a lawyer,” recalls Nunley. “The death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. deeply influenced me. He passed away when I was four and my whole family was in tears. I remember that day – the sense of hopelessness. From that day forward, I knew I wanted to give back to society.” Lawrence-Nunley is a real estate agent proudly based in Sacramento. “I have always wanted to have an impact on the community,” states Lawrence-Nunley. “I love Sacramento. Home, family, and community are really important to me. I enjoy connecting people and helping them find a sense of place within the community through owning a home.” 46 CHRISTIAN BROTHERS CONNECTION

Even with full-time jobs and busy schedules, they always find time to give back to Christian Brothers with their treasure and time. They contribute through the Annual Giving Program and Parent Pledge Program. Nunley was involved with CB’s Campus Master Plan to help enhance the physical structure of the campus. Lawrence-Nunley recently served on the Auction Committee for the 2020 “Golden State of Mind” Auction. The couple is looking forward to being more involved as they get settled into being current CB parents once again. What is it that inspires these two parents to give back to Christian Brothers? For Lawrence-Nunley, it’s the importance of a quality education. “I know that when I was at Manogue my parents didn’t have a lot of money. It’s important to have a diverse community. Everyone should be able to have a good education. You never really know how much your contribution is going to mean. You don’t know what kind of difference you’re going to make in someone’s life.” For Nunley, it’s the Lasallian mission-centric community at Christian Brothers. “The vision that Christian Brothers has for its students is clear to me. The students are going to be leaders in the community, in all walks of life. I always think it’s important that we give back to institutions like Christian Brothers. It was there for me and for other people like me. It was there for people who may not have had a lot of confidence in themselves. It’s important to support Christian Brothers to help the school meet its mission in terms of educating the whole person.”

2019 Alumni Dinner 2 Held at Christian Brothers High School on June 1, the 49th annual Alumni Dinner was a great night for seeing old friends and classmates and building on the strong CB connection. Alumni, family and friends gathered for a social hour on the main lawn, complete with dinner and a raffle held in the Ron Limeberger ’53 Gymnasium. Members of the Class of 1969 were honored with Golden Diplomas in recognition of 50 years of shared legacy and spirit. The Honorary Alumni Award was presented to Stephanie Cooper-Noe, a proud parent of Dominga Noe ’11 and Samantha Noe ’18 and an active member of the Lasallian Parent Ambassadors. She has been volunteering at CB events since 2007 when Dominga began her freshman year and has continued her service even after Samantha graduated. At the ceremony, her daughters surprised her and presented her with the award. The Alumni Service Award, the highest award bestowed by the Alumni Association given to an individual who regularly gives back to CB and

helps make the community a better place, was presented to Laine Himmelman ’06. As the development director at Habitat for Humanity Greater Sacramento, Himmelman is responsible for the organization’s public relations and fundraising efforts. This past spring, she collaborated with CB and gave the students the opportunity to work at a Habitat for Humanity worksite and assist with building homes for low-income families in the community. She was also recognized as one of Sacramento’s 40 Under 40 for 2019. In addition to service at Christian Brothers, alumni were also recognized for distinguishing themselves in the professional world and making an impact. Honored with the Rising Falcon Award was Viviana Becerra ’09. After earning her bachelor’s degree in political science from University of California, Santa Barbara, Becerra is now the chief of staff at California State Assembly for Rob Bonta. She is also a board member of the California Latino Capitol Association Foundation and has already had service as a Senate fellow and legislative advocacy on her resume.

In addition to these accomplishments, Lee has served on many reputable boards as well.

Christian Brothers Athletics continues, as in the past, to be an example and a model of a successful athletic program in the greater Sacramento Area. The individuals inducted into the 2019 Hall of Fame helped lay the groundwork for a Christian Brothers athletic program that has a reputation for excellence in the Sacramento Area.

The following seven individuals and one team were inducted into the 2019 CB Athletics Hall of Fame:

MCNAMARA BROTHERS (JIM ’47, JOHN ’50, AND FRANK ’51)

JOE KIRRENE ’49 A native of San Francisco, Kirrene was a three-time All-City Prep baseball player for the Brothers. In his three prep seasons, he was a part of three Sacramento City Championship teams from 1947 to 1949, routinely hitting over .400 as the starting third baseman. After his prep career, Kirrene signed with the Chicago White Sox in 1950. On October 1, 1950, the regular season’s final day, he made his major league debut starting at third base for the White Sox going 1 for 4 with no errors in the field. Kirrene was out of baseball for three seasons while serving in the Coast Guard during the Korean War and was honorably discharged in 1954. Returning to baseball in 1954, he led the Class A Western League in batting average, hitting .343, and was selected as the third baseman on the league’s all-star team. He appeared in nine games for the White Sox that year, batting .304, six as the starting third baseman, and had three multi-hit games. He played baseball with the San Francisco Seals and Oakland Oaks in 1955–56 before leaving professional baseball. In later years, Joe worked as a manager for California State Auto Association for 41 years. Kirrene passed away in 2016 and is survived by his wife of 63 years, Grace.

Jim McNamara ’47 was the starting shortstop for the legendary 1946 undefeated Brothers baseball team. The following year, he made the All-City team and led Brothers to the City Championship with a 12 and 4 record. Considered to be one of the finest fielding shortstops to ever come out of Sacramento, Jim was drafted by the New York Giants in 1947 and spent five years in the minors. Jim was inducted into the La Salle Club Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996 and distinguished himself by chairing that event for 13 years. Jim passed away in 2012 and was married to Mildred Petralli for 56 years. Frank “Muggs” McNamara ’51 was the captain and center fielder of the 1951 Brothers team. He went on to play two years at Sacramento City College and hit .360 for the 1953 State Championship team. His baseball career continued at California State University, Chico where he was once again voted captain of the team and led them to the Far West Conference Championship in 1958. Frank hit .316 and made the All-Conference team. When several professional contracts were offered, Frank chose graduate school and became an esteemed Sacramento educator for 44 years. He was inducted into the La Salle Club Hall of Fame in 2000. Frank has been married to Sally Byrne for 59 years. John McNamara ’50 was an outstanding defensive catcher for the Gaels, earning All-City selections in 1949 and 1950. In 1959, he became a player and manager with Lewiston in the Northwest League, a minor league affiliate with the Kansas City A’s. In 1967, John reached the big leagues as a third base coach for the Kansas City A’s. The team soon moved to Oakland, and in 1969, he was named manager at the age of 37. He would go on to manage for 19 years, compiling a record of 1,167 and 1,242, ranking 48th on the all-time managerial list. He also managed and/or coached the Giants, Padres, Angels, Reds, Red Sox, and Indians. John will be most remembered by the 1986 post-season as the manager of the Boston Red Sox when he earned the Manager of the Year award. His last year managing was in 1996 with the California Angels.

CHUCK CHATFIELD ’54 Chatfield was a three-year varsity letterman in both football and baseball with the Brothers, earning All-City in football in 1953. He went on to graduate from College of Pacific in 1958 where he played as a wide receiver and field goal kicker from 1954 to 1958; he was seventh in the nation as a wide receiver in 1957. Chatfield also played on the baseball team as a pitcher at COP and was the team MVP in 1958. After graduating, he coached football and baseball at COP in 1958 and 1959. He then served as head football coach at Sacramento City College in 1960. He coached as an assistant coach for Washington State from 1961 to 1962 and Utah in 1963. Chatfield also worked for the Dallas Cowboys under Tom Laundry in 1964 as an assistant coach in charge of player personnel signing for the Cowboys All-Pros Jethro Pugh and “Bullet Bob” Hayes, the only athlete to ever win both the Super Bowl and an Olympic Gold medal. Chatfield lives in Clements, CA and is the grandfather of 12.

JOSEPH GUTIERREZ ’70 Gutierrez was a three-year All-Star varsity basketball and a two-year varsity football player for the Falcons. As a basketball player, he was an All-Metro performer averaging 20.8 points per game. In football, Gutierrez was a two-time All-City performer as a receiver; he played in the first Holy Bowl against Jesuit, which was a 20-13 victory in 1969 in front of 6,000 fans. In his senior season, the Falcons basketball team managed a 16-6 record although Gutierrez was the only basketball player over six feet tall. He lists CB Hall of Fame coach, Jack Witry, as the best coach he played under. After high school, Gutierrez went on to Santa Clara University where he played football and basketball and earned his bachelor’s degree in political science.

MONTY BUCKLEY ’91 Buckley was an accomplished track star at Christian Brothers and is listed four times in CB’s track and field record books (4th for 200 meters, 2nd in 400 meters, 1st in both 4x100 relay and 4x400 relay). However, Buckley was known mainly as a basketball star, playing on the varsity team for three years. As a senior, Buckley was named the Sacramento Metro Area Player of the Year in 1991. He enjoyed a four-year scholarship basketball career at UC Berkeley.

John Silva ’98 Memorial Golf Tournament John Silva ’98 is remembered by many of his classmates as a fun-loving guy with a big heart, and a smile that lets you know you were in on the joke. He is also remembered as a man who cared deeply about his friends, family, and those in need. A cause close to John’s heart was the tuition assistance program at Christian Brothers High School. When he passed away unexpectedly in 2017 at the age of 37, his friends and classmates rallied to carry on John’s legacy of helping others by coming together for two of the things he loved – golf with friends and tuition assistance at CB. From there, the John Silva ’98 Memorial Golf Tournament was born. The tournament, held annually at William Land Park, raises funds for an endowed scholarship in John’s name. Thank you to the organizers and participants who came together this past September for a great time and great cause. The John Silva ’98 Endowed Scholarship Fund will provide tuition assistance in perpetuity for students in need. If you would like to contribute to the scholarship fund, the organizers invite you to make a gift to Christian Brothers and indicate that it is for the fund. If you would like to be added to the mailing list for the next tourney, please call (916) 733-3647 and we will put you in touch with the organizers.

ALUMNI LIFE

Our Night with Harry Potter A NARRATIVE BY: TOM JOHNSON Tom Johnson is the Christian Brothers head men’s varsity tennis coach. He and his wife, Maria, are the proud parents of Clara ’13 and Sean ’22. As a result of the Christian Brothers “One Night in Casablanca” 2019 Auction and Dinner, his family attended a Broadway production of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” in New York featuring CB’s own James Snyder ’99 in the lead role of Harry Potter. We attended the Christian Brothers auction and dinner in spring 2019 without much knowledge about Harry Potter. In short, we didn’t know “the Sorcerer’s Stone” from “the Order of Phoenix.” But we have Potter fans in the family; our children, Clara ’13 and Sean ’22, are both devotees. We knew that when the auction item for a weekend in Manhattan, seeing the play, “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child,” and meeting James Snyder ’99 came up, we had to win it and make it a great end of the summer trip. So, we held up our paddle long enough and after what felt like a long few minutes, we had secured the trip. Little did we know that Snyder would treat us to an incredible performance and a magical evening. When we arrived, there were hundreds of people in line for the play already. There was a certain unmistakable energy building even outside the theater. There were serious Potter fans there and the reviews had been outstanding; everyone was anticipating something great. As the stage lights dimmed and the curtain raised, we saw Snyder as Harry Potter take to the stage. In the production, he plays Potter as a father and husband, looking exactly like what Potter would look like as a young father. We were immediately drawn in by the play, actors and the sheer

62 CHRISTIAN BROTHERS CONNECTION

wonder of the special effects. At one moment you could hear a pin drop and the next, uproarious laughter. While the play was spectacular, meeting Snyder after it was quite the VIP experience. With throngs of people roped off from the actors, we stepped through the stage door leading to a small waiting area with walls decorated with old playbills and photographs. “You must be the Johnsons?” Snyder asked as he welcomed us with a warm smile. He thanked us for being there and remarked how nice it was to see people from home. He was down to earth and very much interested in Clara, Sean and their lives. After meeting, we joined Snyder for dinner at a famous Broadway theater district restaurant named Sardi’s, which is full of images of famous actors, directors and playwrights. For a night, it felt like we were part of that history. He introduced our family to the other actors, and we even got to meet the actor who plays Ron Weasley! As the evening went on, Snyder told us about his time at Christian Brothers. He cherished his years at CB, which is where he first discovered his love for acting. He got his start by practicing for his first play on the green linoleum tile of the old library. After high school, a bigger stage

and city were calling his name. He then went on to attend University of Southern California where he studied theater. After graduation he began his climb into professional acting. Snyder has seen the breadth of the world of acting, having been in movies, on TV shows and in theatre. He now performs on one of the biggest stages with a lead role in what is arguably the most phenomenal theater venue in the world. In addition to playing a father and husband on stage, Snyder is both of those roles in real life. He, his wife, Jacqueline, and their children moved to New York a few years ago. We asked him how he had time to do these kinds of meetings and dinners with visitors from Sacramento with such a busy schedule. He humbly responded, saying “I know the motto ‘enter to learn, leave to serve.’” Snyder embodies what it means to be from Christian Brothers and from Sacramento. He is not only talented and funny, but also genuine. He gives of his time and effort for CB despite the demands of leading in a play of this magnitude and the enormity of his success. He continues to serve our Christian Brothers community and we couldn’t be prouder.
