Our children would have been mortified if we had ever had a “My child is an honor student at …” bumper sticker. But for a moment at Reunion Weekend I thought it would be neat to have one that read, “My daughter got an ‘A’ in Father Burns’ class.”

We didn’t expect to be in the Immaculate Conception Chapel that day this June when alumni were renewing their wedding vows and new Golden Flyers were being inducted. We were baby-sitting grandchildren Megan and Molly.

But the phone rang. Daughter Liz said her husband, Tony, was saving seats, front-row no less.

So there we were — grandparents and granddaughters and their parents — in chapel seats near where decades ago we had sat with Megan and Molly’s mother and uncles. A close examination of a photograph in the new Heritage Center reveals us in a scene from one of those Masses, frozen in time near that same place in the chapel.

Self-consciously we realized this June day we were rather underdressed in comparison to the Golden Flyers, to whom we were closer in age than the more casually dressed younger alumni. But we did have two young girls with us, keeping us young, as grandparents like to say.

We didn’t expect to be there. But, as throughout all our lives, much of what we remember as important is what we did not expect.

In this issue’s Perceptions, a former colleague, Kate Cassidy Harrison, writes of digging up at Reunion Weekend a time capsule she and her friends buried before graduation. What one expected 20 years ago is often not what today has brought. As you read this issue, can you imagine what Herbie Dintaman expected when he came to UD as a young football coach or what Sean Wilkinson expected as a young photographer or what a century of residents of the “Castle” expected or what William Joseph Chaminade thought would come of the communities he nurtured?

We can hope and prepare for what is to come, but we cannot see it.

As we face the unexpected, we have symbols and signs to mark the way — fire and water, bread and wine. And rings.

The priest who helped thousands learn of Christian marriage asks what does the ring symbolize. The daughter — born of love, marrying in love, mothering in love — learned the answer years ago and remembers it well.

The ring is never ending.

As is God who is love.

—Thomas M. Columbus

The Big Easy’s hard times

“There’s no other city dearer to my heart than New Orleans,” says John Heitmann, UD’s Alumni Chair in the Humanities. “For me, it’s one of the most important cities in the world, and its future is an incredibly critical question.”

Those critical questions will be raised at the 15th annual Humanities Symposium, “Race, Class and History: New Orleans PostKatrina.” Events, which are free and open to the public, are scheduled to take place in Sears Recital Hall and include: n The Rev. Inman Houston, director of the Habitat for Humanity Musicians’ Village, and musician J.D. Hill, Friday, Sept. 21, 7:30 p.m.

Houston, a pastor of the First Baptist Church of New Orleans, will speak about the role of faith communities in reconstructing New Orleans and about Musicians’ Village, a 70-home project for low-income musicians and those displaced by the hurricane. Hill, a Delta blues harmonica player who received one of the first homes, performed for President Bush when he visited Musicians’ Village in 2006. n Ansel Augustine, coordinator of black youth and young adult ministry, Archdiocese of New Orleans, Tuesday, Oct. 16, 7:30 p.m.

Augustine, whose home was destroyed by Katrina, is former youth minister at St. Peter Claver Church in New Orleans; he will speak on “Faith in the Storm.” n Jed Horne, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Breach of Faith: Hurricane Katrina and the Near Death of a Great American City, Wednesday, Oct. 17, 7:30 p.m.

Horne, former metro editor of The Times-Picayune, will speak about his book, which The Washington Post credits with providing “new insights into how a ferocious storm, governmental ineptitude and ra-

Location, location, location (and nice houses)

Five newly constructed attached townhouses on Stonemill Road and four renovated houses on Stonemill Road and Frericks Way house 55 students this fall.

During Citirama, a four-day August event, more than 2,000 Daytonians toured them, seeing the result of a partnership between the Home Builders Association of Dayton and the Miami Valley and the University of Dayton.

UD, one of the most residential universities in the country, owns 328 properties, including houses and duplexes, to the south, west and north of the academic core campus. About 90 percent of UD’s undergraduates live in the immediate campus environment.

The floor plans for the new and renovated homes include front porches; energy-efficient windows, doors and insulation; durable and low-maintenance interior and exterior finishes; and state-of-the-art mechanical, safety and communication systems.

Greater Dayton Building and Remodeling, doing business as Oberer Thompson Co., was the project’s contractor.

In the past five years, the University has invested more than $80 million in student residential facilities and amenities, such as wireless computing in all student housing. New facilities include RecPlex, Marianist Hall and ArtStreet. UD teamed with the MillerValentine Group to construct University Place, a two-story mixeduse development on the corner of Brown and Stewart streets that includes apartments for graduate and law students as well as retail outlets. The final phase of a $20 million renovation of Marycrest residence hall was completed this summer.

Hurricane Betsy in 1965. n Gregory Squires, George Washington University sociology department chair and editor of There Is No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster: Race, Class and Hurricane Katrina, Thursday, Oct. 18, 3 p.m.

The collection of scholarly articles covers topics such as contemporary metropolitan planning, the

roles of business and the media, and how the hurricane disproportionately impacted female-headed households.

Heitmann, a Louisiana historian, expects that the symposium speakers, with their range of perspectives and experiences, “will bring to light how much there is left to be done in New Orleans — beyond rebuilding.”

To date more than 200 University of Dayton students, faculty and staff have volunteered on Katrina relief projects. Another group of students will spend fall break working in New Orleans Oct. 7-10, in a project organized by UD’s Center for Social Concern.

Physics professor wins teaching award

“Excellent professor. Give him a raise.”

That student evaluation is not out of line with what colleagues at UD and elsewhere think of the teaching ability of Rex Berney, professor of physics and winner of UD’s 2007 Alumni Award in Teaching.

Berney pioneered computerinterfaced experiments, designing them and the interfaces themselves even before commercial interfaces were available. He developed the upper-level physics curriculum now in use and updated it three times as computers and other instrumentation evolved.

Thousands of UD students taking the Integrated Natural Science Sequence have worked on experiments he designed.

Faculty at other institutions have benefited from Berney’s expertise in computer interfacing. He has taught more than 700 faculty members from 350 different institutions through his work with the National Science Foundation Chautauqua Program.

Internationally, supported by a Fulbright scholarship, he established an electronics and computer interfacing facility and curriculum at the University of Liberia. He also taught physics students at the Institut Teknologi Mara in Malaysia and developed a computer and laboratory interfacing facility at the University of Papua New Guinea.

Award winners Berney (left) and Powers

Another physics professor wins research award

Peter Powers, associate professor of physics, is directly responsible for about $1.7 million in external funding since joining the physics faculty 10 years ago.

Named the winner of UD’s 2007 Alumni Award in Scholarship, he also has played a collabor-

ative role in successful proposals for the Center for Multifunctional Polymer Nanomaterials and Devices, the Institute for Development and Commercialization of Advanced Sensor Technology, and the Ladar and Optical Communications Institute. These projects total more than $53 million.

Benefiting from his research efforts are both undergraduate physics students and graduate students in the electro-optics program.

Since coming to campus in 1997, Powers has been the author or co-author of 20 pages in refereed journals, edited two conference proceedings and authored or coauthored 29 presentations at national conferences. He is chair and organizer of an annual conference: Nonlinear Frequency Generation and Conversion: Materials, Devices, Applications.

Two-time grad to chair board

Jack Proud, a 1970 psychology alumnus and 2004 School of Law graduate, became chair of the UD board of trustees in July, succeeding R. Daniel Sadlier ’70, who served 10 years on the board, the last four as chair.

Proud specializes in business and estate law with Porter, Wright, Morris & Proud Arthur. Previously, he had served as president of Monarch Marking Systems Inc. and as a division president at Reynolds and Reynolds Co. Proud rejoined UD’s board in 2004 after serving a threeyear term from 1998 to 2001, when he was president of UD’s National Alumni Association board.

Leaving the board are Sadlier and Father Joseph Lackner, S.M., director of developing regions for the Marianist Province of the United States. Joining the board are two alumni: Steve Cobb, who received an MBA in 1986, and Brother Ed Brink, S.M., who received a bachelor’s degree in engineering technology in 1982. Cobb is president and chief executive officer of Henny Penny Corp. Brink, who had been director of UD’s Center for Catholic Education, is assistant for education for the Marianist Province of the United States.

Tough love, turning points

Bill Scharf ’68 recalls that during his junior year, because of a

combination of things, “I must have grown an attitude. One semester I didn’t do anything well.”

That’s not good, particularly if your major is math.

He also remembers the department chair, Kenneth Schraut, putting an arm around his shoulder, encouraging him and offering “tough love.” The same professor had encouraged Scharf his first semester at UD even though the would-be math major was not prepared enough to take calculus his first semester.

Larry Woerner ’76 also remembers Schraut. A turning point in Woerner’s life came during his sophomore year when Schraut asked him what he was going to do. “I said,” Woerner recalls, “I was majoring in math. He told me I couldn’t sit around all day doing problems. He suggested I look into actuarial science.”

Today Woerner is chief administrative officer of Mercer Human Resource Consulting.

Scharf retired in 2002 as senior vice president, enterprise resource operations, of PEC Solutions.

Scharf and Woerner are among the first contributors to the Kenneth C. Schraut, Ph.D., Memorial Scholarship Fund for math majors.

Schraut served UD as professor of mathematics for more than 50 years and as chair of that department for 16 years. He directed the initial research effort that led to the creation of the University of Dayton Research Institute.

Both Woerner and Scharf remember a professor who went out of his way to be accessible to his students, and they remember an education that gave them skills in critical thinking that served them well professionally. And each also remembers an education that went beyond the academic.

Woerner says he and some of his fellow students of Schraut “earned some pocket change raking leaves; he and his wife, Virginia, would have us in for cocoa.” And, like many math majors, Woerner learned from Schraut how to play squash.

Scharf recalls that, as president of the math fraternity, Pi Mu Epsilon, “I had to put on a social. Those attending included

Tricia Penno ’00

International communication coordinator, Center for International Programs We hear that you were the model for the new Mary at the Feast of Cana statue on campus. How did that happen?

The committee was looking for a tall woman with Mediterranean features. Of course I said yes. The sisters in the Marian Library fitted me for the outfit. My hands were draped in a certain way, and we practiced the pose and how the fabric would lay. The second appointment was the photo session. I knew the statue wasn’t going to look exactly like me; the main thing was getting the hands right. After one of the sessions, I walked back to my office through the Chapel, and there was a girl singing ‘Ave Maria.’ I was completely spooked. It’s a great honor, but I don’t know that I’m worthy. I’ll be excited to point the statue out at my 10-year UD reunion.

What are you doing back on campus, after living and working in England and Italy?

My job is to raise awareness of the internationalization efforts taking place on campus. In addition to communication projects, I do event planning and coordinate the International Learning and Living Community. I also recently went to the Middle East on an international student-recruiting trip. One student we recruited was a Sri Lankan living in Kuwait. He likes basketball, engineering and community service. ‘Prasanna,’ I said, ‘there’s only one school for you, and it’s in Dayton, Ohio.’

What’s your advice to UD students studying abroad?

Really get to know the people and culture. Be aware of the differences so you can learn more about yourself. Get the most out it, so you’re not just making memories but gaining skills in dealing with people from other cultures.

What was your first international experience?

A summer studying abroad in Florence. That changed everything. Before then, I was terrified of my own shadow. I couldn’t return a shirt to a store or pump my own gas without being intimidated.

What changed?

It was the independence. Being in cities and knowing that no one in the world knew who I was. I was completely anonymous. I had never experienced that before. In Dayton, everywhere I went someone knew who I was.

Anything we didn’t ask you want to say?

I thought you’d ask what was the latest book I read … so I checked my nightstand.

So what was it?

A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle. But my reading has gone by the wayside; I’m obsessed by Sudoku and do four or five puzzles a night.

Other obsessions?

Debbie Gibson, the Britney Spears of the ’80s, but much classier. My cell phone’s ring tone is “Out of the Blue.”

faculty members and their wives.

Doc Schraut introduced me to fine cheeses and how to shop for them.

He wanted to ensure that the student in charge had more than beer and chips — which I suppose would have been my choice then.”

UDQ efficient

The University of Dayton Quarterly won the only gold medal in the category of “periodicals resource management: tabloids and newsletters” in the 2007 Circle of Excellence Awards Program of the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education. The category recognizes periodicals that “show evidence of successful and creative management of time, staff and other resources.”

The Southern Christian Leadership Conference has given its first Joseph E. Lowery Human Rights Legacy Award to Daniel J. Curran, president of UD. Lowery co-founded the SCLC with Martin Luther King Jr. The Rev. Raleigh Trammell of Dayton chairs the national SCLC board of directors and nominated Curran for the award. “Dr. Curran was chosen,” Trammell said, “because of his dynamic leadership in diversity in this community. He is committed to a community for all races.”

First, first, first, first

What was the site of the old, empty Harrison Radiator plant just east of downtown Dayton is becoming something called Tech Town. Community leaders in July broke ground on the site’s first building. Its first tenant will be the Institute for Development and Commercialization of Advanced Sensor Technology. The first company to license an invention through IDCAST is Analog Bridge Inc. And that first invention is UD engineering professor Guru Subramanyam’s tunable varactor technology that allows cell phones to carry more features without in-

creasing the phones’ size or decreasing their battery power.

IDCAST was established late last year by a $28 million state grant from the Ohio Third Frontier Commission to UD and a number of partner institutions, including other universities and corporations.

They performed much of their research at WrightPatterson Air Force Base.

A recipe for cleaner soil

A UD doctoral student and a mechanical engineering professor have concocted a recipe for more cheaply removing polychlorinated biphenyls from soil.

The EPA estimates that PCBs still contaminate 525 million tons of soil. The recipe: Dig up contaminated soil, pour in water containing a material barely visible to the naked eye and heat to 752 degrees.

Doctoral student Patanjali Varanasi and professor Sukh Sidhu found that the use of iron nanoparticles, smaller than a human hair, lowers the temperature at which PCBs can be destroyed without emitting additional toxins.

Results of the research appear in the international environmental science journal Chemosphere.

DECA update

Since last issue’s story about the Dayton Early College Academy, DECA has had two watershed moments — becoming a charter school and receiving an excellent rating on the 2006-07 State of Ohio Report Card.

DECA met all 11 state indicators on its report card, scoring between 93.8 and 100 percent. The state averages in the same categories are between 72.4 and 94.1 percent.

It successfully became a charter school in mid-August. The Dayton Board of Education cleared the way for DECA’s charter school application by voting to end an existing contract with the University in June and after a Dayton Public School levy failed in May. As a charter school, DECA will be able to pursue private funding and continue the existing school

Living large, packing light

The U-Hauls and minivans converge on campus, disgorging firstyear students bearing enough gear, tackle and shiny new consumer goods to colonize an outpost of civilization.

Then reality sets in. All that stuff has to fit in a residence hall room about 200 feet square, which will be shared with another similarly overburdened student.

Christine Schramm, UD assistant dean of students and director of residence education, sees that ritual enacted every August. She sees the stuff that gets left behind every April. She offers some suggestions on what incoming students can easily live without.

Forget the Foreman: Don’t bring anything cooking related. Not the George Foreman grill (not even the small one), not microwaves, pots, pans or hot pots. Cooking appliances take up space and could set your room on fire. There’s food in abundance 24/7 at college.

High school is over: You won’t need yearbooks, photo albums and trophies. No one really cares about the “stuff.” The stories are what matter.

You don’t need a down parka in Dayton in August: Fight the desire to bring your entire wardrobe “just in case.” Forego the out-of-season clothes. You will go home again before it snows.

Answering machines are over: Voice mail provided by the University and your cell phone will catch the calls you can’t miss.

Skip stocking up at Sam’s and Costco: You don’t need 15 rolls of toilet paper or paper towels, canned goods to last the year or a 10-gallon drum of laundry detergent. When you buy in bulk, you

McIntosh lives on

Amid wood-paneled walls and portraits of the Wright brothers at the Engineer’s Club in downtown Dayton, LaShea Smith Boyd ’91 reflected on her career working for the city of Dayton.

“A lot of people ask me, ‘How long have you been there?’” she said. “And I think to myself, ‘Since I was 17 years old.’”

Boyd, deputy director of recreation and youth services, got her start in city government in 1987 as the first recipient of the W.S. McIntosh Memorial Leadership Award. The award provides an African-American student a four-year scholarship that covers tuition, fees, and room and board. Through a unique partnership with the city of Dayton, the McIntosh recipient also earns a four-year, paid internship in the city government that starts freshman year.

Twenty McIntosh scholars have followed in Boyd’s footsteps, simultaneously beginning their studies at UD and an education at city hall that begins with a tour of all the departments, a rite of passage they call the “tour of duty.” The newest recipient, Alvin Wilkerson, began his tour in the summer and entered UD as an undeclared engineering major. UD is a familiar place for him; he’s a graduate of the first class of the Dayton

end up leaving behind whatever you don’t use. Stores are within reach, and … you will go home again.

Candles and incense: Too easy to knock over or leave unattended … and too quick to catch on fire.

If you don’t like the smell in your room or on the floor, get a plug-in air freshener. Done.

Pets: You may miss coming home to a pet after a long day of classes, but your space is too small to coop up an animal, and many of your neighbors have allergies.

Fish tanks aren’t a good idea either; they’re too cumbersome for the space and too time consuming to clean. When you pack to go home at the end of the year, the fish are the first to be left behind.

Leave the sub woofers at home: They’re too big for a residence hall, and the sound is disproportionate to the space. All they will do is make your neighbors — to the right, left, above and below — mad. (They also can get you in trouble with the staff).

Take it easy on the theme decorations: Twinkling lights to hang around the room, posters and neon signs add to the expense, take up space and are always left behind.

Give up on the green thumb: Plants of any size or variety are nice in theory, but abysmal in practice.

In memoriam

Father Matthew Kohmescher, S.M., died May 5. Kohmescher, 85, served as chair of the religious studies department for two decades. In retirement, he greeted thousands of prospective students visiting campus.

Larry Hadley, associate professor of economics, died June 9 at age 62.

A former chair of the department, he was internationally known as a sports economist.

Garrett Loiselle ’07 died May 12 of cardiac arrest in Daytona Beach, Fla., at the age of 22. An autopsy revealed an enlarged heart, causing the cardiac arrest, his parents said.

Loiselle graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in finance. His sister, Lauren, is a UD undergraduate.

Early College Academy.

Boyd, Wilkerson and most of the other former and current McIntosh scholars gathered for a weekend in June to celebrate the program’s 20th anniversary. Among them was Rashad Young ’98, Dayton’s current city

ister and all four current recipients, as well as supporters from the city and UD. History professor Patrick Palermo, who helped launch the scholarship program with Mike Herrelein, former city of Dayton organization development administrator, accepted one of several Pioneer Awards given during the dinner. He spoke of the legacy of McIntosh, who led the fight for civil rights in Dayton until his murder in 1974.

Spring, Olympics, UD

It is undeniably spring; and, although I am a UD alumna, I do not associate spring with graduation. But I do associate spring with UD and the U.S. Olympic team.

With the recent success of UD’s women’s cross country head coach Ann Alyanak in the Boston Marathon and her talk of a possible U.S. Olympic Team berth, a little known UD historical fact is brought to light.

On May 22, 1976, a UD ROTC student and former Olympic marathoner was buried on the hill behind Marycrest Hall. “Buck” Bush had been shot in a rifle accident at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

He had been an Olympic contender in the marathon for the United States in 1972. But falling over another runner who had fallen in front of him, he injured his knee. He enlisted in UD’s ROTC program, where we met. I was the first woman to enlist in the program at UD; he was a great supporter. And at 18, I fell unabashedly in love with him.

His hopes were so high. The funeral was so sad. The U.S. Olympic Team sent flowers; his Olympic ring was on his finger, and medals hung around his neck. We should have been celebrating graduation.

I eventually became a college teacher. I told a group of my students about this runner, but it didn’t hurt any less in the telling.

Now I am hurt more by the occasional loss of my students to car accidents.

I can only hope that Ms. Alyanak can bring some joy to the mixture of UD and Olympics.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a UD coach could represent us in the Olympics? Buck would have been thrilled. And as UD alumni, we would be, too.

Good luck, coach.

A synopsis of national and regional media attention The New York Times covered the first graduating class of the innovative Dayton Early College Academy, a partnership between the University of Dayton and the Dayton Public Schools that focuses on preparing urban students for college work. DECA’s future was threatened by the defeat of a Dayton school levy. “If you’re going to educate urban kids, you’re going to need niche places,” Thomas Lasley II, dean of the School of Education and Allied Professions, told the paper.

The New York Times followed up the DECA story on June 13, again quoting Lasley, when it was announced that DECA would become a charter school operated by UD. The Voice of America for China broadcast a June 26 report — in Chinese — on DECA’s success in preparing first-generation minority students for success in college.

UD’s summer reading assignment for first-year students rated a mention in U.S. News & World Report. David Bornstein’s book, The Price of a Dream: The Story of the Grameen Bank, raises questions about the relationship between the fight against poverty in the developing world and peace-making.

USA Today spotlighted the UD Research Institute’s 45-foot-long triple-barrel gun that’s helping researchers gather data that can be used to better protect space vehicles from orbiting junk. The Associated Press, Cox News Service and Industry Week all carried stories.

The Cox News wire reported on engineering professor Guru Subramanyam’s tuning system that will enable cell phones to handle even more time-saving tasks, such as paying for your groceries or unlocking your house.

In a national Associated Press story, the Chicago Tribune on May 7 quoted Tim Apolito, coordinator of community relations in the criminal justice program, about the growing use of video résumés. Even if an employer never sees it, a video résumé helps job seekers prepare for interviews and gain self-confidence, he said.

Bishops from Asia tapped into Friendster, MySpace, Facebook and YouTube during a spring training session designed to get them comfortable with the world of cyberspace. In a story about the Internet sessions, Sister Angela Ann Zukowski, M.H.S.H., director of the Institute for Pastoral Initiatives, told the Philippine Daily Inquirer that the world is divided into “digital natives” and “digital immigrants.”

Art Jipson, director of the criminal justice studies program, told USA Today on May 3 that homemade roadside memorials have cultural significance among Catholics, Native Americans, Mexicans and Central Americans and are sometimes considered folk art.

In an Aug. 4 story about hostage negotiations with terrorists, UD terrorism expert Mark Ensalaco told Canada’s National Post that “terrorists have a certain advantage over democratic governments because they are willing to sacrifice lives. Governments in democracies where we value human life are in an insuperable moral dilemma.”

The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer on May 31 turned to Father Thomas Thompson, S.M., director of the Marian Library, for comment on the revival of May crownings, which no longer feature young girls in long, white dresses walking in procession. “There is no set form,” he said.

“It depends on the imagination of the people.”

The Chronicle of Higher Education featured new and renovated UD student houses that were showcased during Citirama, a free home show organized by the Home Builders Association of Dayton.

Manufacturing.net, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The San Diego Union-Tribune quoted UD mechanical and aeronautical engineering assistant professor Aaron Altman about the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

InsideHigherEd.com looked to UD for two trend stories. The electronic higher education publication quoted Bruce E. Burt, executive director of public safety and chief of police, about his plans for orientation in the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy. On July 27, Richard Perales, director of University campus planning, talked about the diminishing space available on college campuses and the stance some universities have taken about moving some departments off campus. UD will move some departments to land it purchased from NCR. “We do have a concern of not splitting the campus in two,” he said. “We realized we can’t have it black and white, all academic or all

UD assistant political science professor Jason Pierce’s book, Inside the Mason Court Revolution: The High Court of Australia Transformed, about Australian judges has been a hot topic Down Under. The Australian, The Canberra Times and others have written about how many are surprised by some of the judges’ “activist” comments in Pierce’s book and want Pierce to reveal the names of those judges. “I conducted the interviews under strict confidentiality and anonymity and I think that needs to be respected,” Pierce told The Australian.

“Yes, there are judicial activists in the Australian judiciary, but there are many orthodox judges, too.”

Stammen one of former Flyers down on the farm Craig Stammen said if he was not playing pro baseball he most likely would be working at his family business in North Star, about 50 miles northwest of Dayton near the Indiana border.

The business sells farm equipment and has been around since the 1920s. They have about 25 employees, said Stammen, a former pitcher for the Flyers.

But for now Stammen very much has a future as a pitcher in the farm system of the Washington Nationals. While 2007 was an adjustment for Stammen, as he advanced to the high Single-A level from low Single-A, the right-hander has shown promise.

“It is a constant learning process. You can’t get too high or too low in this game,” he said.

Washington scouting director Dana Brown was impressed with the big right-hander, and in 2005 the Nationals drafted him in the 12th round after his junior year at Dayton.

Stammen, 23, throws a four-seam and twoseam fastball in the low 90s, and also has a curve and change up. He was 5-4 with an ERA of 4.29 in 16 games in early July for the Potomac Nationals, a farm team of Washington in the Carolina League. He has noticed the ability of hitters in high Single-A, after playing in low Single-A in 2006. “It has been a little bit of a struggle for me.

It is a continuing process,” said Stammen, who was not highly recruited out of high school.

Stammen is one of at least three former UD baseball pitchers to see action as pro players during the 2007 season. The others include Luke Trubee, who played in the South Atlantic League in Charleston, S.C., with the New York Yankees’ farm system. Trubee, a 6-3 right-hander, was 2-0 with an ERA of 4.06 in 28 games out of the bullpen in early July for Charleston. Trubee turns 24 in November.

Jerry Blevins, who had an 87-16 strikeout-to-

walk ratio and a 1.64 ERA in mid-August, went team in 2006 and promised to upgrade scouting to the Oakland A’s Double-A team in Midland, and player development.

Nonconference foes averaged 20+ wins

The nine men’s basketball teams who will venture from outside the A-10 to the UD Arena during the 2007-08 season averaged 20 wins last year. The four teams the Flyers will visit before their A-10 season begins (George Mason, Miami, Holy Cross and Louisville) averaged 21 wins.

Nonconference opponents include four schools that played in the 2007 NCAA tournament (Holy Cross, Louisville, Miami and Pittsburgh), three others that reached the finals of their conference

tournaments (Akron, American and George Mason) and two regularseason conference champions (East Tennessee State and Toledo).

A highlight of the home schedule is a visit from the Pitt Panthers, ranked as high as No. 5 in preseason polls.

Dates but not times are set for the nonconference games.

Opponents but not dates have been announced for the A-10 regular season. Coming to the UD Arena will be Charlotte, Duquesne, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Saint Joseph’s, Saint Louis, Temple and Xavier. The Flyers will travel to Fordham, George Washington,

La Salle, Rhode Island, Richmond, St. Bonaventure, Saint Louis and Xavier. So the teams UD plays twice are Rhode Island, Saint Louis and Xavier.

UD finished the 2006-07 season with a 19-12 record and an RPI of 75.

Two coaches, two teams, two stars to Hall of Fame

The Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame in May inducted former Flyer coaches Tom Blackburn and Don Donoher, two of their teams (Blackburn’s 1962 NIT champions and Donoher’s 1968 NIT champi-

ons) and two former players (Don May ’68 and Jim Paxson ’79).

May, with 1,980 points, ranks second all-time among Flyers; Paxson, with 1,945 points, ranks fourth. Blackburn, with a 352-141 record from 1947 to 1964, established the Flyers as a basketball power. Donoher, coaching from 1964 to 1989, posted a 437-235 record.

Flyer Faithful keeping faith

The men’s basketball Flyers drew an average of 12,266 fans to home games last season, ranking 28th in the NCAA. Every year since UD Arena opened in 1969, Dayton has been in the NCAA’s top 35 in attendance.

UD led the Atlantic 10 in attendance for the 11th straight season, drawing 2,300 fans a game more than any other A-10 team.

The women’s basketball team also led the A-10 in attendance and was 38th in the country with 3,190 fans per game. Over the previous season, this was an increase of 1,586, the fifth highest increase in attendance in the country.

Dintaman, who died five years ago at 82, perhaps is not widely remembered as a basketball coach because he preferred to work behind the scenes. Also, being a freshman basketball coach was but one of many roles he played at UD. Besides coaching freshman basketball, he coached baseball, was an

assistant football coach, directed intramurals and, for many years, was the director of facilities at the UD Arena.

The establishment of a scholarship fund in Dintaman’s memory by John Courtney ’85, who while a Flyer basketball manager came to know and respect Dintaman, occasioned others this spring to reminisce about him.

Donoher remembered that Dintaman came to Dayton in the early 1950s to assist head football coach Hugh Devore. When Devore left to become head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Dintaman decided it was time for him and his family to settle down.

He was “very versatile,” recalled Tom Hatton ’62, who preceded his brother Gordie by two years to UD. Hatton, who played shortstop in baseball and guard in basketball, said of Dintaman, “Coach Blackburn had a lot of respect for him, so he hired him.”

That Dintaman was not credentialed as a basketball coach was no impediment. Blackburn said, according to Donoher, “I’ll teach him all he needs to know.”

He apparently did. Garry Roggenburk ’62, one of only a half-dozen Flyers to surpass 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, said that Dintaman “introduced us to the varsity’s offense and defense.

He got us involved in what the program was all about.”

“By the time we were on the varsity,” Hatton said, “everybody knew all the drills. We were prepared.” The preparation led the Hattons, Roggenburk and their 1961-62 Flyer teammates to winning UD’s first NIT championship.

Dintaman also took a fundamental approach to baseball, a sport in which Hatton and Roggenburk were also teammates.

Roggenburk recalled that for him baseball was a short season; each of his three years on the basketball varsity, the Flyers played in the NIT. “Herbie organized us,” Roggenburk said, “and let us play.” Hatton recalled that part of the organization was scheduling star pitcher Roggenburk to

pitch in big games.

Much of Dintaman’s success in the many roles he played was motivational. “I heard that Herbie’s solution to losing was to run you to death until you decided to win,” said a player from a few years later, Dan Sadlier ’70, UD board chair from 2003 to 2007. According to Donoher, Dintaman was just following Blackburn in that tactic, one with which Donoher had little disagreement.

Dintaman expected discipline. Hatton remembered one player on his highly talented freshman team who “thought he was better than anyone else and did not take discipline well.”

When he threw a basketball at Dintaman, the coach told him if he did it again he’d be gone.

He did.

He was.

But it is a less strict side of Dintaman that his players and colleagues remember most.

“He was easygoing,” Roggenburk said. “It was a little different when we got to varsity.”

Hank Josefczyk ’60, a player on Dintaman’s first Flyer freshman basketball team and an engineering major, remembers when playing for Blackburn having a lab scheduled at the same time as basketball practice.

“Herbie took care of it. He took care of all kinds of things.”

“He was always there when you needed him,” Roggenburk said, noting that Dintaman was the buffer between the players and Blackburn. “Herbie took care of things before you had to go to coach Blackburn. If you had to go to him, you were in trouble.”

Donoher succinctly described Dintaman-player relationships: “The players who played for him loved him.”

Dintaman’s loyalty to them, his family and UD was contagious. Sadlier recalled one night when he was a student and Herbie had to work late: “He told me, ‘You are going to take my daughter to the father-daughter dance at Alter High School.’”

It wasn’t the sort of request people that knew him thought twice about; they just did

Autumn 2007 13 University of Dayton Quarterly

what he asked.

Josefczyk recalled an earlier time, when the Dintaman children were very young. “I babysat for him my sophomore year; I had never done that. I had to change diapers,” Josefczyk said.

“I had never done that either.”

While Dintaman was freshman basketball coach, his multiple duties and football background did not allow much time for game analysis. Blackburn’s Flyers were, however, aided by detailed reports from a young scout who was astutely analyzing opponents. The scout, Donoher, came on the UD payroll on Feb. 1, 1963. “That summer,” Donoher said, “Herbie weaned himself out of basketball. Nobody told him to leave. …

“Herbie was the best friend I ever had on this campus.”

Donoher coached the freshmen with Paul Westhead (whose Loyola Marymount teams made run-and-gun history in the late 1980s). Soon Donoher was taking over some of the varsity practices as cancer consumed coach Blackburn.

Donoher became head coach, and by 1967 the Flyers were in the NCAA finals. In 1968, they won their second NIT. In 1969 the UD Arena opened.

The Arena was called “The House That Tom Built” because of the extensive efforts in making it reality by athletic director Tom Frericks; it could easily also be called “The House That Herbie Maintained.”

“He was a slave to the place,” Donoher recalled. “He dropped everything for it. He was always on call.”

One of Dintaman’s Arena colleagues, Joe Eaglowski ’69, who came to UD as an assistant football coach and served as manager of the Arena, remembered Dintaman himself out in an open vehicle plowing snow off the Arena parking lot.

Eaglowski convinced the athletic department to get a truck. “We did,” Eaglowski said. “It had a heater, even a radio.”

Simply, if something needed to be done, Dintaman did it. In writing of Dintaman’s induction into UD’s athletic hall of fame in 1981, Dayton’s Journal Herald sports editor Ritter Collett said he noticed Dintaman the week before running a cleaning machine on the Arena floor. It wasn’t his job, but someone hadn’t shown up.

Collett noted it “wasn’t his job to pull the pilot and copilot out of a burning C-47 cargo plane under enemy fire in Burma in World War II either.”

Easygoing and affable, blunt and direct, Dintaman in his relationships to colleagues and players “had a serious vein,” Sadlier said. “If you were doing something you shouldn’t, he’d share it discretely.”

He just took care of his people. A man whose pants were probably perpetually wrinkled from work, Dintaman told the young Josefczyk as he was about to go on a job interview to go back to his room and change his wrinkled pants.

Donoher remembered visits from a number of his former players. “I’d think,” he said, “that’s nice of them.

We’d talk a little.

Then they’d ask, ‘Where’s Herbie?’

He was a magnet.”

Sadlier explained, “Something about Herbie stays with you throughout your life, whether it’s your work ethic, how you treat people. …”

Donoher summed it up: “Oldtime values.”

Besides coaching freshman basketball, he coached baseball, was an assistant football coach, directed intramurals and, for many years, was the director of facilities at the UD Arena.

SEAN WILKINSON

University of Dayton Quarterly 14 Autumn 2007

Photography professor Sean Wilkinson has been making photographs since 1967, when he was an Antioch College student in a co-op job in San Francisco.

“Here and There, Now and Then,” a retrospective featuring about 70 of his photographs, will be exhibited at the Dayton Visual Arts Center Sept. 10 through Oct. 27.

“The idea of a retrospective is a little sobering, not unlike that first AARP mailer that comes,” said Wilkinson, whose introductory photography classes now include students who have never seen a roll of film. “I’m 60. It’s not a bad time to look back and reflect on my work.”

His reflections, and selected images that are representative of the bodies of work he has produced these past 40 years, follow.

‘Here and There, Now and Then’

T

The artist within the university is in many ways an outsider in that

institution. The professor is obliged to know, reason, and explain. The artist must avoid becoming so engrossed in such things that they corrupt his ability to marvel, to see, and to make useless objects as an act of faith. The professor of art who would also be an artist must therefore accept a certain degree of schizophrenia as an occupational hazard. n n n

I am unapologetically interested in and seduced by beauty, a topic that

has been unfashionable in intellectual circles for quite some time. And I am in league with Thoreau, who wrote: “This curious world which we inhabit is more wonderful than it is convenient; more beautiful than it is useful ... more to be admired and enjoyed than used.” n n n

The process of making pictures is always for me one of overlapping, circling back, and allowing things the time and attention they take to reveal themselves. The only way I know how to work is to make a lot of pictures, so photography’s capacity for prolific

output suits me well. I make a terrific number of bad and mediocre and almost-good pictures on my way to making a few good ones. n n n

Over several years I spent a good deal of time traveling around to find and photograph greenhouses. I once wrote about this work: I am attracted to places that are falling into disrepair, small idiosyncratic enterprises with ragged edges and neglected corners. But I am also drawn to the elegant efficiency and severe grace of vast, well-ordered plant factories. All greenhouses are fragile structures with delicate skins of glass and plastic, yet they appear indifferent to the seasons. The air inside is saturated with oxygen and the scent of moist earth. Time and space evaporate within these marvelous theaters of silence and illumination. n n n

Moving from the deep spaces of the greenhouses to the condensed and often ambiguous spaces in the “Transparency” pictures was a matter of looking up, of moving from a wide lens to a long one, and of relishing a shift in scale. For just a couple of hours a day, only when the sun is shining, and for no more than three to four weeks out of the year, the light can be marvelous on the ceiling of a long-abandoned and dangerously derelict greenhouse I have visited frequently in Yellow Springs (Ohio). Leaves fall on the glass and soon blow away, but for brief moments they are like extraordinary gifts of chance. n n n

I spent several months in Italy in 1990 and 1991. Among other things, I photographed portraits on cemetery headstones. I found them endlessly fascinating and I wandered about looking at thousands of faces, especially in the vast necropolis of Campo Verano in Rome. … In 2002 and 2003 I returned to Italy and resumed an intensified investigation of headstone portraits, the result of which was the body of work entitled “Memoria,” about which I wrote: Early photographic studios

often used the phrase “taken from life” to advertise the inherent directness and veracity of their medium. In the photographic

memorial portraits … this phrase takes on richer shades of meaning.

These simple objects, freighted with feeling and plainly a part of

this transient world, are hopeful, futile gestures to eternity. ... These photographs are meditations on identity, memory and mortality,

and on the evocative power of photographic images to convey a palpable sense of both presence and ephemerality. n n n

Making photographic images on film and printing them in a darkroom are practices that are almost obsolete, but they continue to afford an experience of working directly by hand with simple materials — including the elements of water and darkness — in an environment that, much like the cemeteries in which these pictures originated, is conducive to contemplation, mystery, wonder, and revelation. n n n

Much of my work has explored the idea of making images of images. This was extended in the photographs “Learning to Draw” that I made from an old book entitled Anatomy for Art Students. I see the figures in these illustrations as redolent with mystery, poignant and evocative, their gestures and dutifully blank expressions suggesting far more than the book was intended to convey.

centrated exclusively on making pictures in museums of art and of natural history. The most substantial and significant body of work consisted of images deliberately and quite carefully thrown out of focus. These pictures are not about the minute particulars of subject matter, nor do they exploit the phenomenon of detailed, photographic description.

Their diffusion and consequent lack of specificity oblige the viewer to abandon the reflexive habit of simply recognizing subject matter. n n n

The pictures in the body of work called “Traces” are out of focus because I am interested in merging objects and backgrounds, in light dissolving edges, and in the suggestion of a thing rather than its description. I reject in this work the reflexive closure of simple identification, the point at which most photographs begin and end. I sought to introduce a level of ambiguity that I regard as particularly welcome in photographs.

For a number of years I conAutumn 2007 17 University of Dayton Quarterly

My most recent, ongoing

work, “Something More and Less,” continues to explore this practice of merging recognition with disorientation. I make these photographs with a cheap, plastic camera. I make several exposures in rapid succession on each frame. Overlaps and blur make it impossible to know exactly what the images will look like. Basic elements can be discerned, but the details remain unresolved, making them more about atmosphere than information. The main event of picture making is therefore an act of imagination, and the result is always a surprise. n n n

These pictures acknowledge that the camera always presents us with something other than exactly what was there. n n n

I am equally interested in the act of seeing and the nature of things seen. W. S. Di Piero explains that a poem may itself be “a passion, not an illustration or depiction of a passion.” I feel much the same way about good photographs. The best of them, while full of information, exist in themselves, transcending descrip-

tion even in the fullness of their describing. n n n

I prefer to work in places and among things with which I feel myself to be fully present. These qualities may be found almost anywhere, in almost anything: a city street, a tree, a certain quality of light, a fleeting gesture. Potential subjects are not hard to find, and in some ways, photography is as easy as it appears to be. The challenge is to see. Like breathing, it seems so simple until you give it your complete attention. n n n

e are pilgrims. Eyes hot from too little sleep. Bodies sore from too many foreign beds. And again, we pray. This time on the freeway at 100 kilometers per hour, rushing past sand dunes made stationary by scrub grass where naked sheep graze.

Each day, a pilgrim leads the prayer. Today, as we head north to France after 16 hours in Zaragoza, Spain, Joe Saliba sways near the bus driver and speaks into the microphone.

“Some say Marianists are reformed Benedictines,” says the dean of engineering, pausing for our labored chuckles. “We really borrow a lot of their virtues and a lot of their habits. The difference is that they are in abbeys and we are in communities.”

He recites Pope John Paul II’s “Prayer to our Lady of Lourdes” — in preparation for the group’s next stop six hours over the Pyrenees mountains — in the style of the Benedictines. Saliba reads. Others share a word or phrase that resonates deeply.

And the process repeats.

“It’s an awakening of the words of the scripture,” Saliba says.

One pilgrim offers: Teach us to build up the world.

And another: Glorious Mother.

Dawn of a new era.

Hope.

Paths of the world.

“This morning, for me it was ‘first of the disciples,’” he says. n For 10 days in June, we UD pilgrims followed the paths of the Marianist founders through three countries, connecting with the places and spaces that have inspired more than two centuries of education and community action in the spirit of Mary. These pilgrims are Marianist Educational Associates, lay people committed to preserving the heritage and invigorating the spirit of Marianist education. They also may be the future of the University of Dayton.

every classroom. Now, it’s hard even to find a priest for every blessing.

But thanks to the Blessed Father William Joseph Chaminade, who began the Marianists with his sodality of everyday Christians, the lay and the religious are equal partners in building up society for the glory of God. The 31 vowed Marianists on campus are now complemented by 25 MEAs who have undergone formation training and public commitments. The trip, part of an education to connect them with the order’s founders, allowed them to walk in the footsteps of Chaminade, visit the mission of Mother Marie Thérèse de Lamourous and meet the women who keep the work of Mother Adèle de Batz de Trenquelléon alive.

To be sure, it is a costly endeavor for the Society of Mary, which is putting time and resources into people who are not bound to their commitment through anything other than dedication. It’s an investment the society is willing to make.

“The investment is really an investment for a deepening of the Marianist spirit,” said Father Paul Marshall, S.M., University rector, who joined eight MEAs, three spouses and this journalist on the trip.

“It doesn’t live in ideas first. The forming of the mind, it’s not book knowledge. It’s going to the places, meeting the people. ... The Marianist charism lives in people.” n In Bordeaux, France, we walked in the footsteps of Father Chaminade and inadvertently left some of our own in the wet concrete of a city at once old and constantly reinventing itself. If a 300-year-old building needs water, simply rip up the sidewalk, insert the appropriate piping, and cover it over for another hundred years, Saliba pointed out.

No fuss, no “wet cement” signs to warn spiritual sightseers.

Dogged pragmatism, a sense of making do while recognizing the future: These are familiar themes to those who know the Marianists.

Simply being in the city gave the pilgrims a sense of the old Bordeaux that Chaminade called home from 1789, when the French Revolution drove him from the school where he was teaching, until his death in 1850.

Brother Tim Phillips, S.M., assistant rector of Marianist International Seminary Chaminade in Rome, turned stories once trapped in ink and pulp to flesh and wood as he led the MEAs on a walking tour of the old city. In the Chapel of the Madeleine, he showed pilgrims the door, 6-feet high and rubbed soft by centuries of hands, behind which the first Marianists took their vows in 1817.

“What we’re about is to learn and keep tradition alive,” said Steve Mueller, UD executive director of counseling and health services. “It also stirs some emotion — we’ve read the books, but it doesn’t feel like it does when you step into the Madeleine for the first time.”

The travelers stepped into the dim chapel and inhaled cool, humid air. The 15th-century building, which still holds Mass daily and supports a religious and lay Marianist community, seemed to vibrate with an intensity that pricked the skin like electricity. Its cool limestone walls contrasted with the gilded statues of Mary and the angel of the Annunciation purchased by Chaminade. A relic of Chaminade lies within an illuminated altar.

The MEAs felt that same intensity in the bright second-floor apartment where Chaminade worked and died and where Father Paul Marshall said Mass at the worm-worn table on which Chaminade said Mass during the revolution.

“A lot of the letters and documents we have from Father Chaminade would have been written, dictated, thought about in this room,” Phillips said. “You can imagine the conversations they must have had.”

The simplicity of the chapel and the room struck Sandra Yocum Mize, chair of the department of religious studies. The pine floors and blue front door belie the courage needed by the Marianists to re-Christianize French society after the chaos of the revolution. Being in this place underscored the connection UD has with that first Marianist mission to educate the laity and send them out to be forces for change in their own communities, she said.

“There are people who pass by L’Madeleine every day, ride by it on bikes, and have no idea what is going on inside,” she said. “Yet

people in Dayton, Ohio, have a real connection to this place. There’s something real important in recognizing the value of the ordinary, in spreading the gospel and in being one contributor to a transformation in society. ... What you need is a simple room with a table and people who are gathered together who are committed.”

The simplicity of the other historic locations — the oratory where Chaminade hid priests during the revolution, the Miséricorde where Marie Thérèse welcomed prostitutes and helped them learn trades, the storefront that once served as the first Marianist boarding school, the first house of the Society of Mary — reinforced the Marianist involvement in everyday life.

It also served for a bit of weary humor that sent the tired bunch into hysterics. On a day trip from Bordeaux into Périgueux, where Chaminade’s parents lived, Father Robert Witwicki, S.M., led the pilgrims down a narrow lane. He stopped before a nondescript green door next to another nondescript green door.

“And this is where Chaminade was born,” he said with a flourish.

Looking up, the pilgrims asked, “Which one? 18 or 20?”

“Ah, 18, 20, it doesn’t matter. We say it is here.” n “I’ve been looking for you.”

Father Matt Kohmescher, S.M., sitting on a couch in the admission office, greeted Kathy McEuen Harmon with this phrase as he began their daily chats about Flyer basketball, religion and the scholarship in his mother’s name.

One day he had a new topic of conversation: There’s this program, he said, that you’d be perfect for. I’m not sure exactly what it is, but I’ve nominated you.

He knew of Harmon’s longstanding dedication to the University, which she joined in 1992. As associate director of student scholarships, she has daily contact with a special area of the Marianists’ mission: educating the whole person by stretching scarce resources.

The program was the Marianist Educational Associates, lay people educated and working in partner-

ship with the vowed religious to perpetuate the heritage and invigorate the mission of the three Marianist universities: Dayton, St. Mary’s University in San Antonio and Chaminade University in Honolulu.

Started in 2004, the MEA program has graduated three cohorts of faculty, staff and administrators from an intensive four-day initial formation program focused on the Marianist and Catholic history, Catholic higher education and the Marianist educational mission. MEAs also complete personal readings and reflections, discuss faith and campus mission in community, are invited to make a public commitment, and join the pilgrimage. While it was the second year for the pilgrimage, it was the first attended by only those from UD. The program recognizes both the importance of the laity to Marianist history (“The laity is as much Marianist as the religious,” said Brother Raymond Fitz, S.M.) and the reality that the number of vowed Marianists in North America is diminishing.

“As we move into the future, the driving force (at the universities) will remain the Society of Mary, but there will not be such a cadre to animate and sustain the spirit throughout the institutions,” said Fitz who, with Brother Tom Giardino, S.M., teaches the intensive formation program.

Each university embraced the concept and formed it with a flavor unique to the institution’s character and needs. UD rector’s council, intent not to duplicate existing efforts or create an insiders’ club, discussed for a year the idea before taking nominations, like the one from Kohmescher, and then applications for those willing to accept the responsibility of being an MEA. Harmon, who is Protestant, appreciates how welcoming the Marianists are to those of all faiths, employees and students alike. So, when she was selected for the second cohort, she drew from Kohmescher’s faith in her and years in service to the Marianists to answer: “In the spirit of Chaminade, ‘yes.’ In the spirit of Mary, ‘yes.’”

Since the concept of partnership between religious and lay is key, it’s as important to include an admissions counselor as a dean.

“The charism should infuse every

aspect of the University, who we are and what we do,” said Father Marshall. “It embraces all areas of academics and growth — nothing is outside the kingdom of God.” n The bones of St. Peter are not in the box.

Brother Michael John McAward, S.M., secretary general of the Marianists at their Rome headquarters, kept the jet-lagged pilgrims moving on the first day of the pilgrimage through St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City with the story of St. Peter, rock of the church, in seven parts.

It began with history beneath the colonnade, continued with intrigue at the tomb of St. Peter (the bones are actually 4 feet to the right of the tomb, which bears the inscription that identifies his resting place), and concluded outside with humor (the archeologist who took the bones home in a shoebox for safe keeping).

Students rediscover roots

Michelangelo’s Pietá and the sunlight streaming down on the marble floors provided a striking contrast to the simplicity of the Marianist sites they would see in Bordeaux. But, more than anything, Rome provided a first lesson in the people who inhabit the spaces and places that punctuate an itinerary.

McAward waved his arms as he gave running commentary around the Colosseum, through St. Peter’s and on to the baptistery at St. John Lateran, knowledge that sprang from his love of sharing history, religion and culture. Sister Marie Luce Balliet, F.M.I., who poured sugar in her wine at lunch at the Daughters general administration, told stories of joining the men in the Bordeaux grape harvest as a teenager and of preparing for South American missions at age 70.

“It’s not the places that are interesting, it’s the people,” said Brother Phillips who, with stories rooted in

Junior Grace Finn points to the world map hanging in Kennedy Union dotted with Marianist communities.

“I love that map. It makes it real for me,” she said. “It’s not just our little community in Dayton, Ohio. It’s living, breathing, global.”

Finn has tapped into that community as a member of the rector’s council and as a UD Marianist Fellow, which allows students to explore personal faith, campus life and how the Marianist charism can enhance both.

The rector’s office coordinates both the Marianist Fellows and Marianist Leadership Scholars programs, during which students from all majors build community, study, share and support one another, much in the way the Marianist founders first organized lay people.

“We are rediscovering our roots,” said Joan McGuinness Wagner, director of Marianist strategies. “People wonder where is the spirit in the Church and why are we experiencing so much difficulty. This is the spirit. Remember who you are. When Mary said ‘yes,’ she was saying yes to being a mother, to being a lay person, to working in the area she was in.”

Marianist Leadership Scholars — Marianist high school graduates who receive scholarships from the Society of Mary — investigate through meetings and retreats the concept of educating the whole person. They commit to service activities and accept leadership positions in organizations like fraternities, sororities and the Student Government Association.

“The goal is to set the campus ablaze with the charism in the activities they choose,” said Maureen O’Rourke, coordinator for Marianist activities and scholarship.

Currently, 40 students have accepted a further call to become Marianist Fellows. They commit to service, discussion and reflection, learning about the Marianist heritage, applying it to their lives and sharing it with the wider community. Some like Finn have participated in the annual Marianist Universities Meeting; a few have gone on a pilgrimage similar to this year’s trip by the Marianist Educational Associates.

While some students have graduated into consideration of life as a vowed religious, others have taken vows as lay Marianists in campus commitment ceremonies. A group of alumni has approached Wagner with the suggestion of living and studying in community for two years after graduation, in a way similar for those who prepare for religious life, to further deepen their commitment to the Marianist ideals.

Finn is considering whether she is ready to make a vow as a lay Marianist. No matter her decision, she knows her UD education will provide her with a permanent tie to the global community illustrated by the map.

“I’m a Marianist and I buy into what they think, how they act, their vision for the world,” she said. “It does affect how I act, but I understand that I am one person and I can do good, so I should.”

centuries, endeared himself to the MEAs. “It’s at these places you meet the people.”

In Zaragoza, Spain, it was Father Eduardo Benlloch, S.M., who bustled the pilgrims across town for a brief presentation on Our Lady of the Pillar, before which Chaminade prayed while in exile. In Feugarolles, France, it was Patrice and Ghislaine de Bentzmann, who welcomed the MEAs into the historic family home of very great auntie Adèle, founder of the Daughters of Mary.

In Bordeaux, it included JeanPierre Roumaillac, whose mobile phone rang the theme to Pink Panther. He was the MEAs’ intrepid companion, offering interpretations of history based on his own experience as a lay Marianist.

As he sped past vineyards on the way to Mussidan — where Chaminade and his brother ran a school — Roumaillac announced to the MEAs in his car that it was 3 o’clock, time for the traditional Marianist prayer. Switching from English back to French, he then recited the doxology from memory.

“I found it very touching and felt this connection, this sense that he knew we knew what he was talking about,” Sandra Yocum Mize said.

“He said it in French, we say it in English, but, in that simple offering of the prayer, we felt a larger connection to the Marianists.” n The strong, curved, 4-foot-5 frame of Sister Marie Agnes shook with excitement. She rattled on in French, filling the cramped room with words about the ministry of Marie Thérèse and giving her interpreter no pauses to explain the stories to the American visitors.

“And the story doesn’t end there,” she said after a forced interruption before launching into a story about the secret room where Marie Thérèse and her followers said Mass during the French Revolution.

Here, she said, is a small window to the courtyard, so the gardener could signal if the soldiers appeared.

Sisters Marie Agnes and Marie Veronique, both aged more than 80 and more than a century removed from Marie Thérèse, were ecstatic to entertain these visitors from America who traveled so far to hear their sto-

ries. While the MEAs were there to learn history — see the shepherd’s cottage original to Marie Thérèse’s family, the embroidery made for her by the repentant women she helped — they learned that the jubilant spirit that seems so familiar at UD animates people and missions around the world.

At the Hermitage in Le Pian, outside Bordeaux, the sisters run a boarding school for socially disturbed youth. They require love and attention, Marie Veronique said, much the way Marie Thérèse cared for the prostitutes who were seeking reform and reintegration into society. One of her favorite stories is of a Polish order that wrote asking Marie Thérèse to send women to establish a similar ministry in their country.

Her reply: send your women here, learn from us, and take a piece of that back with you.

The jubilation was present in Agen, France, where the Daughters of Mary welcomed the MEAs with sweet wine and cakes after a tour of the property, which included Adèle’s grave and a case containing a lock of her hair, a piece of her habit, the cross she wore on her neck.

It also was present at the Daughters of Mary in Rome when Superior General Marie Joëlle Bec, F.M.I., told the story of Adèle who, at age 11 in 1801, insisted to the priest she must wait and prepare properly for First Communion. Adèle again insisted, this time in 1816, that Chaminade support her call to form a community of sisters. With great pride, Bec related how Adèle described Chaminade as “working in the masculine branch of our order.”

“Because a family must have a mother and a father,” Bec told her guests in conclusion. “Now, tell me about being an MEA.” n

The Castle

∫∫ ∫

By Matthew Dewald

When their kids ask, “How’d you meet Mom?” Ted Weltner ’74 takes them to the Castle and points at the front porch. “It was an Animal Housetype party,” he tells them. There were kegs in the kitchen and loud music.

“It was Friday, Sept. 22, 1972. I saw her on the porch, and then she disappeared.”

Later, as he walked out of the kitchen and into the front room, he saw her again. She was talking to his friend Bruce Patrick ’73, so he sidled up and joined the conversation. Her name was Martha Nichol. They were both juniors.

She liked him enough later to drag him into the turret room to dance.

The next night, they went to Baujan Field on their first real date. They watched the Flyers beat Marshall 39-0.

One October night a year later, over pizza at Marion’s, he proposed to her.

She said yes.

On the same October night 30 years later, at a restaurant in New Jersey, he reproposed to her.

She said yes again.

Thom Moore ’85 and his housemates worried the health department might order the Castle closed, so they did what they could to save it. That meant a lot of odd jobs around the property, fixing what they could.

They bought things here and there to keep the house intact. They kept the place reasonably tidy and in good order.

They gave their landlord the receipts in lieu of the rent.

∫∫ ∫

“I live in the Castle.” That’s all you had to say. Everyone knows the Castle.

There is, of course, another castle right next door, 1515. When Rob Walch ’88 lived there, there was the Green Castle and the Gray Castle.

There was always a relationship between the two, he said.

The Gray Castle, 1519, had better insulation, lower utility bills and a flat roof over the turret where you could put out a lawn chair and sunbathe.

The Dayton Daily News once published a picture of Walch up there on his neighbor’s roof on a warm day. In his own basement in the Green Castle, he found older newspapers wrapped around a water pipe as insulation.

They dated to 1917 and talked about progress in the First World War. Walch still keeps them in a scrapbook.

∫∫ ∫

Since the land on which the Castle stands was first transferred to NCR on Oct. 6, 1888, the Castle’s deed has changed hands 26 times.

City directories list nine different heads of household living at 1519 Alberta in the 1920s and ’30s, including August Werner, an NCR trucker, and his wife Kathrin. They lived in the Castle from 1933 to 1938, the Depression years. Some heads of household were owner-occupants, including an assembler and a gardener. Others were renters, a laborer, a Frigidaire foreman and a machine operator.

∫∫ ∫

∫∫ ∫ The neighborhood has always, it seems, needed improving.

At the turn of the 20th century, lots in the neighborhood where the Castle now stands “sold for about $200 each, when they did sell,” John H. Patterson, National Cash Register president, lamented. “It was on account of the bad boys in the neighborhood.”

President Patterson had grown

Tess Prasnikar Horwath ’80 had just mixed the macaroni-and-cheese when there was a knock at the Castle door. She picked up the bowl and went to answer. At the door was a scraggily young man with uncombed hair and a hiker’s backpack. He looked worn and hungry. Would she give him a place to rest and some food, he asked.

And there she stood with her steaming bowl of food.

So she sat with him on the Castle porch in the summer heat and talked, her housemates just on the other side of the screen door.

It was the kind of thing her parents would have told her not to do.

He said he was walking across the United States to make a statement about preserving nature. His journey was bringing him through Kettering, Ohio, where a friend lived.

He is making a statement, she thought, and that is a noble thing.

The more they talked, the more she believed him. She thought, he isn’t looking for anything more from me than a place to rest and some food.

He thanked her with a poem in calligraphy-like handwriting. “Mother earth will sing to you,” it began. Then he used her phone to call his Kettering friend and went on his way.

“My parents would have been very upset,” she admitted.

Such things happened when you lived at the Castle.

“You don’t just let people suffer,” she said. “While your radar might go up, you do what you can.”

tired of the bad boys breaking windows in his new NCR factory buildings. He blamed the blight of the surrounding neighborhoods, including what today’s UD students call the Ghetto. Then, it was a slum, called Slidertown.

He turned to gardening, and in 1905 claimed it had turned the neighborhood around, with lots selling for as much as $1,000.

“Give the children vegetable gardens where you can,” he said at a playground opening in 1905. “Next, give them playgrounds. … A dollar spent today on playgrounds will save the city in ten years hundreds of dollars in prisons, asylums and reform schools. … We should spend the money in forming character. … If there is anything that should appeal to the newspapers, the churches and the people it is this vision of seeing what our children are going to be.”

The previous summer, Patterson had offered prize trips to the World’s Fair in St. Louis “to the four children arranging the best yards or window boxes.” It brought “encouraging results,” including gardens of nasturtiums, asters and cornflowers.

Other mornings, it was a friend walking down Frericks to his 8 a.m. class.

In 1906, National Cash Register promoted Francis A. Wagner to serve as general auditor in its Berlin offices.

“He will travel through the continental countries considerably looking after business conditions,” the NCR newsletter reported. Wagner had worked

Because the devil will find work for idle hands, NCR tried to give the neighborhood boys around Brown Street more than just gardens to fill their free time. The Men’s Welfare Work League reorganized the Boys’ Brigade into the NCR Cadets around 1904. Each Friday evening at 7 p.m., 85 neighborhood boys from 13 to 18 spent “a strenuous sixty minutes in squad and company drill” in the factory’s assembly hall, NCR’s company newsletter reported in January 1905.

Their course of training, developed by an Army and Ohio National Guard veteran, included “all the infantry tactics possible in an inclosed (sic) hall, from bayonet drills to extended order drills.”

They wore regulation-style army blue uniforms with buttons, stripes, caps and chevrons. Their only motivation, read the newsletter, was “their desire to serve as President John H. Patterson’s bodyguard upon his return to Dayton. They have already made a formal request for the honor.”

Somebody was always stealing the sign.

Brother Tom Pieper, S.M., saw the Castle every day from his house across the street. One day, he noticed that the old sign was gone. A new one, spray-painted by Castle resident Meg McNicholas ’01, replaced it.

“We know who you are — give us our sign back,” it read.

Nobody did.

After about two weeks, Pieper

got to work.

“I had a little time and an idea of what a nice Castle sign could look like,” Pieper said later.

He coated a 3-by-3-foot board with black paint. He fastened castlelike corners and fashioned a castlelike top and painted the very top gold. He made a castle-like door and castle-like bricks out of cardboard and used them as stencils. His hand passed back and forth in a steady motion over his offering as he lightly coated the sign with silver spray paint before pulling off the stencils. He spelled out “The Castle” in red, twoinch plastic letters above the door.

Pieper crossed Alberta, now Frericks, with it during a Castle talent show. It was a surprise for Vanessa Kliefoth Walter ’01 and her housemates. They accepted it with joy.

Another campus minister, Conor McIntyre ’96, brought over a large painting ladder. Friends gathered to hang the sign off the turret on the second floor.

“All of these people really cared about it,” said Walter. “It was so important to everyone. ”

About the time Francis Wagner bought lot 16450, he left NCR and started American Mechanical Toy Co., 240 E. First St., Dayton. His company competed with Erector sets and similar sets made in England by the Meccano Co. Children across the nation could make a model Wright Aeroplane with Wagner’s toy. “Half the fun is building the models,” the instruction sheet reads. “The other half is operating them when completed.” When constructed, the model was 36 inches wide by 43 inches long, and its design was offered “through the courtesy of the Wright Brothers.”

But Meccano extended no similar courtesy when it sued Wagner for stealing its designs. Wagner lost the case, and appeals continued through the teens as Meccano filed motions for recovery. A technical legal issue in the case was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on St. Patrick’s Day, 1919.

Wagner lost that too. The company folded.

“Oh, the Castle,” they said.

In the winter, the downstairs was a drafty, cold cave where they huddled under blankets. Upstairs, they threw off the blankets and the comforters and the sweatshirts because it was too hot to sleep.

In the hot months, they huddled in the bedroom up the stairs and to the left, the room with a window A/C unit a housemate had brought. The five of them spent nights huddled in that room laughing and telling stories.

“I can’t believe we’re paying this much money to live here,” they’d say.

When their kids ask, “How’d you meet Mom?” Ted Weltner ’74 takes them to the Castle and points at the front porch.

“It was an Animal House-type party,” he tells them.

There were kegs in the kitchen and loud music.

“It was Friday, Sept.

22, 1972. I saw her on the porch, and then she disappeared.”

At the turn of the 20th century, lots in the neighborhood where the Castle now stands “sold for about $200 each, when they did sell,” John H. Patterson, National Cash Register president, lamented.

“It was on account of the bad boys in the neighborhood.”

He was Sir Frerick.

Then they put on music and danced in the living room all evening long.

In 1984, John Ross put down $3,000 and took out a $27,000 loan to buy the Castle from Richard and Judy Gillingham. The Gillinghams had bought the property a decade earlier for $10,000.

There was a dumpster off the side filled with boxes, and the windows were still covered with the manufacturers’ stickers. The construction work was still under way.

Erin Brick-McManus ’97 and two of her Castle roommates from junior year stood on the front porch. They posed for pictures with their toddlers in their arms and strollers off to the side. It was Reunion Weekend, 10 years after they’d graduated.

They walked around the dirt yard and blocked the sun with their cupped hands as they put their faces against the windows to see what had changed inside.

“Being back feels different,” she said.

“No, to Cleveland.”

In 1915, Francis Wagner sold the Castle to a business partner and his wife, Francis and Dorothea Gruen.

Whether the sale was related to the mechanical toy case is not known.

In 1919, the Castle changed ownership three times. On April 11, the

T.J. Johnson ’86 spent the afternoon of March 15, 1985, at the Castle getting pumped for the NCAA tournament. UD, a nine-seed, was playing Villanova in the first round at the Arena.

Six days earlier, UD lost to Notre Dame in double overtime. Twelve days earlier, UD had beaten Xavier 66-56. A year earlier, the Flyers went as far as the Elite Eight before Patrick Ewing’s Georgetown team beat them.

Johnson headed out to the Arena with tickets in his pocket for seats about halfway up the south side, facing the benches. UD, the lower seed, was in blue on the visitor’s bench. It was an odd sight. In front of Johnson and 13,259 others, UD

nies shy of $5,400. There is no record in city directories that they ever lived in the Castle, but they had put it and other property up as collateral when they took out the loan. They hadn’t made a payment in more than a year.

Montgomery County sheriff’s deputy William Schooley and two colleagues delivered a court summons on Dec. 1, 1937. The Sears weren’t home when they came. The sheriff charged the court a $4.05 fee for the delivery.

On April 11, 1938, the sheriff seized the property by court order and four months later sold it at public auction. The premises are described in court documents as “a one and one-half story frame single dwelling of seven rooms, semi-modern, no garage.” The buyer, American Loan and Savings, paid $2,000 for it.

∫ ∫∫ Dave Humphrey ’87 did what city leaders advised. He closed the Castle doors and windows and stayed inside in the July heat.

A chemical fire in a railroad car was spewing a toxic cloud over the Miami Valley in the summer of 1986. When inhaled, the white phosphorous brought on nausea and throat and eye irritation. So Humphrey waited inside for the danger to pass.

The next summer, temperatures again climbed into the 90s. Humphrey and Paul Staniszewski ’88 spent days on the couch wearing nothing but shorts, drinking lemonade right out of the two-quart containers and blasting Slippery When Wet. It was the only air conditioning they had.

Wakened by the heat in the hours before dawn, Humphrey sometimes wandered outside under the streetlights, passing people sleeping outside on their porches.

At the end of the summer, he invited a buddy up from Cincinnati for graduation weekend. People were everywhere out on the street hanging out, throwing footballs. Economics professor John Rapp pulled up on his motorcycle. They chatted awhile. Then Rapp gave Humphrey’s Cincinnati friend rides up and down Alberta.

Gruens transferred it to Emma Wagner, Francis’ wife. On Oct. 6, she transferred it to Margaret Doyle, a widow, according to the deed. Three days later, Doyle sold it to Clyde Johnston, a city firefighter, and his wife Anna Belle. They sold it to a gardener in 1921.

Castle door in Fall 2003. He stood about 5 feet tall.

Anthony Trimpe ’04 found him the day before he moved in junior year. He was one in a row of a hundred empty suits of armor at Garden Ridge in Columbus, Ohio. The owner wanted $50 for his fealty.

“The only reason I want him is that my house happens to be called the Castle,” Trimpe told him.

Trimpe got him for $15.

Sometime that year, Sir Frerick disappeared from his post and was not seen again.

He was Sir Frerick.

In 1937, Castle owners Walter and Cora Sears owed the American Loan and Savings Association a few pen-

dinner duty and traded off weeks.

They chipped in $35 every two weeks for groceries and taught each other how to shop. They sat around together to divide up the long distance bills.

One night, they had six gentlemen over to the Castle for a formal ball.

Setterfield wore a white eyelet dress with pink accents as she

Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “Take this, all of you, and eat it: this is my body which will be given up for you.”

And they did.

And he said, “Take this, all of you, and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood. … Do this in memory of me.”

And they did.

Months earlier, six among them were strangers: five juniors and Molly Regan Barber ’81, a senior. The juniors had responded to Barber’s ad for housemates to share the Castle that year.

It was a Friday or Saturday night in late August 1981. They were 15 or so gathered to bless the new house and celebrate a Mass in the living University of Dayton Quarterly 26 Autumn 2007

room of the Castle, cradled by the wall of the turret. They baked the bread in the Castle’s oven. They sat on the floor, and stood, as appropriate. They sang to worship and praise.

“I remember very much not feeling awkward,” said Barber. “It felt very right.”

They had trimmed the overgrown hedges out front when they moved in. They posted a schedule for showering in their only bathroom. They took turns each night with dinner. They felt very much they were starting their own new community.

They passed the host and wine around.

∫ ∫∫ ∫∫ ∫ One perfect summer night, John Leahy ’86 sat on the Castle porch with some friends. They did what they always did on the porch of the Castle. They had some drinks and people-watched.

They talked about the Castle Christmas party, when the guys decorated the house and put on jackets and ties for their dates.

They talked about Halloween weekend, when a brick went through a police cruiser’s window in the alley next to the house.

Officers kicked in the Castle door and interviewed everyone inside. A

The gingerbread man with the cigar and a ponytail, that’s Father Ken Templin, S.M. The really tall one, that’s a friend of ours. That one, that’s Mike Walter ’01, Vanessa Kliefoth’s future husband, though they don’t yet know it. It was a who’s who in gingerbread, all baked for the Castle Christmas Cookie Cook-off.

A lot of afternoons, they’d sit on the front porch of the Castle, Mike with his guitar. They’d make up silly songs. One time an impromptu obstacle course developed without anybody knowing how. They’d declare “Nobody backs Baby into a corner” and jump off the porch like Baby in Dirty Dancing, one of the guys catching them like Johnny Castle, touch the street three times, leap frog over the garbage cans and shimmy back across the porch.

On hot days in August, visitors . . from across Dayton paraded through . the Castle, the Castle twin and seven . . other UD student houses on Frericks .

Way and Stonemill Road. Some, like . . the Castles, were rehabbed; some . were new. It was part of Citirama, a . . program run by the Home Builders Association of Dayton and the Miami ..

Valley “to rehabilitate existing houses . . and build new structures that match . the style of the community,” according . . to the Dayton Daily News. .

Though it was in the 90s and . . humid outside, inside the Castle was . a cool 67 degrees. It has central heat . . and air conditioning now, plus two . full bathrooms and handicap-acces. . sible features. The turret outside is . covered in cultured stone. . .

After a year of vacancy for the re. hab, the Castle welcomed six new resi- . . dents at the start of the fall semester. . . .

Matthew Dewald lives in a house . about the same age as the Castle. .

Records on file at the county recorders’ . . office show that his house was once . . nearly repossessed. witness in the alley came forward saying someone in the alley had thrown it and run off into the night. The next day, there were news cameras, and Leahy had to answer to Joe Belle of student development and to his landlord for the door.

On the porch that summer night, they talked about how it didn’t feel like more than 20 years had passed since they’d been at UD, since they’d lived in the Castle.

John has a wife and children and a job with the Department of Defense and a home in the Cleveland suburbs. He came to the Castle with old friends during Reunion Weekend 2007 because they thought it was being torn down. They listened to the sounds of the Ghetto and looked up and down Alberta. The street signs now called it Frericks Way. “We could remember things so clearly,” Leahy said. “It seemed like yesterday.”

Now in their 40s, they sat under the stars and talked on the porch of the Castle until three or four in the morning.

Bordeaux, from Page 21 visited: simple table settings, beautiful flowers, sparse but comfortable sitting rooms, easy conversation.

“There’s something in the simple lifestyle of the European Marianist communities that struck me, “ said Ferguson, Fitz Center executive director. “My life is filled with stuff, both my personal life and my professional life ... not just with things, but with projects, presentations, activities. ... I’m not sure if it’s a written reflection, a slide presentation or a note to myself, but there’s a lesson somewhere for me and my family, my community, and our university.”

Other MEAs are making plans to incorporate their new knowledge into their work. Beverly Jenkins, associate director of admission, said she can better answer prospective students and parents who ask exactly what her own father asked 30 years ago when she was a UD student: “What do the Marianists mean to you?” While she couldn’t answer her father, she can now articulate their influence to other fathers and mothers.

“I talk with families every day,” she said. “I try to intentionally talk a little more about the Marianists.

Parents do want to know what it means to be a Catholic and Marianist university. I haven’t perfected it yet; each time I tell it, it has a little different tone, depending on the families.”

Steve Mueller hopes to share his knowledge with student development employees — who in turn touch all the students — thereby using the Marianist philosophy of learning and sharing to exponentially build understanding.

But just because this is UD doesn’t mean their task is easy. At dinner one night, they talked about the barriers to their work. These include people who see the Marianist influence as nothing more than a friendly hello or a door held open.

Others on campus would prefer religion stay in the chapel.

Associate professor Shirley Wright found the MEA formation and pilgrimage personally rewarding and as having tangible benefits to the classroom.

“I see great opportunity for science to be enriched by the Mari-

anist traditions,” she said. “It was an incredible, magnificent experience.”

The MEAs are already making an impact on the University’s path.

This year, they joined the vowed Marianists in interviewing candidates for vice president for student development, asking questions related to the University’s mission to find a candidate compatible with the Marianist philosophy of education.

The MEAs have created a strong personal community that has allowed them to probe the role of faith in campus life. This community has also supported each other through illness, professional struggles and uncertainty.

“If this is going to succeed,” Brother Fitz said, “it’s going to be an action of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit has had in mind a lot of surprises.”

One of those has been the MEAs’ willingness to live a life that embodies the Marianist spirit. “There is an amazing depth of commitment and amount of energy people are willing to put into their work,” he said.

And the need for the commitment will only increase. The MEAs will be asked to offer suggestions about how changes in general education could enliven the Marianist goals and contribute to transformational leadership.

They also will be asked to take on additional responsibilities as the number of vowed Marianists decreases.

“There are not going to be clerics to do these things — bless your house, give the opening prayer,” said Joan McGuinness Wagner, director of Marianist strategies in the rector’s office. “If we want those things, we’re going to have to step up.

“Most will say the Marianist part of UD is what they like and what makes us distinctive. If it’s something important, what is each one of us willing to do to keep it going?”

The journey continues, and so pilgrims we remain.

Michelle Tedford, a senior publications editor, left her footprints in the cement along Cours Victor Hugo and Rue St. James, before the stone gateway to the old city of Bordeaux.

Joseph Kuntz ’55

A parish changes You can see the face of the church’s future at Joe Kuntz’s parish, St. James the Great in Concord, N.C. About 500 parishioners attend Mass in Spanish every Sunday afternoon; two Latin American priests have joined the staff; and the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe was standing room only, with little girls dressed in white for the procession, a mariachi choir, Latin American food and folk dancing.

And Kuntz, a former Marianist who taught English at two high schools in Puerto Rico, has found himself unexpectedly prepared for outreach to the Hispanic community.

According to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, 39 percent of U.S. Catholics are Hispanic, a percentage that will continue to grow. Those demographics, combined with Hispanic Catholics’ distinctive spirit-filled religious expression, ensure that “Latinos will bring about important changes in the nation’s largest religious institution,” a Pew study found.

Those changes come with challenges. “The majority of Americans are not accustomed to speaking a foreign language,” said Kuntz, who grew up in north Dayton among families from Hungary, Poland and Lithuania, where “you accepted that Grandma didn’t speak English and you did your best. As a nation, we’re impatient.

Most adult Americans have no idea how difficult it is to master a foreign language so you can converse in it.”

Kuntz tutored the Honduran and Costa Rican priests in English three afternoons a week. “It was such an obvious gift of God when those two fellows showed up,” he said, noting that the growing Hispanic population is putting down roots in the Charlotte, N.C., diocese, building businesses, working in construction and landscaping, and forming soccer leagues. The need for teachers of English as a second language has Kuntz wishing he were 20 years younger.

He also hopes that in 10 years’ time, “we have more Hispanics coming to Masses in English and more bilingual Masses. Our aim is to keep it one parish, rather than two congregations using one facility.”

James Gerker ’74

On the pitch “Why do we study literature?

To learn about life.”

Jim Gerker’s students and soccer players at Chaminade College Preparatory School in St. Louis hear that from him a lot.

“I can pull out instances of people much smarter and wiser than me,” said Gerker, who has had six different job titles during his 31 years at Chaminade. “Adolescent males can relate to Ernest Hemingway. I use one particular story about a man who stands his ground when a buffalo is charging him to give them an example of how to stand up with courage for what you believe in.”

Gerker, an obvious wearer of many hats, said he learned about “adaptation” and “change” before he was aware those words are part of the Marianist vernacular.

“I knew the Marianists constantly changed roles. I always marveled at how easily they adapted,” Gerker said. “They didn’t carry their egos with them.

The message is: ‘It’s not about you; it’s about the school.’”

That attitude helped the Chaminade boys soccer team last year win its third state title since 2000. One national soccer poll ranked the 31-1-1 Red Devils fourth. The lone loss was to a cross-town Jesuit school.

“When you play soccer in St. Louis, you play top national competition,” said Gerker, a former UD soccer player and assistant coach. “Our head coach is humble and that carries to the team.

Our kids were not cocky.”

It was perfect timing as Gerker had just returned to the team as an assistant coach after a 14-year stint as the school’s principal. He was the Red Devils’ head coach for 11 years before becoming principal.

One of Gerker’s fondest onfield memories happened while he was an assistant coach at UD. A seldom-used soccer player was so excited about finally entering a game that when he pulled off his sweatpants, his shorts came off too. Despite other players, coaches and even the public address announcer trying to get his attention, it took him a few minutes to realize that, just this once, the message was, “It’s all about you.”

Michael Woodman ’81

In Peru, cotton country Something caught Michael Woodman’s eye while he was browsing through the UD bookstore during Reunion Weekend: his Peruvian company’s manufactured T-shirts, sweatshirts and sweatpants.

“I felt proud to find our products in the store when traveling,” said Woodman, president and CEO of Industria Textil Del Pacifico, a Peru-based knit garment manufacturer. “Remember that we compete with China where prices are very difficult to beat, and the U.S. is a major partner in the clothing industry.”

Woodman, who first worked at a bank in Peru, stumbled on manufacturing when he was hired for a company’s sewing operation. “After a year I decided to work by myself and start the business,” he said.

Woodman’s company exports goods mainly to the U.S. It manufactures products for a variety of well-known brands, including Gear for Sports ­— which houses Champion and Under Armour — Ashworth, Cintas, Original Penguin, Perry Ellis, Tommy Bahama and the department stores J.C. Penney and Sears.

Trading to foreign entities, like the U.S., requires involvement in transnational agreements. The North American Free Trade Agreement, which does not currently include Peru, will soon allow for even easier trade. “The U.S. Congress will ratify a free trade agreement with Peru this year,” said Woodman. “This will consolidate the growth without a deadline.”

“Understanding the U.S. idiosyncrasy and speaking the language has been vital in getting into the market,” said the Peru native. He said he is also exploring expanding into the European market in the coming years.

Quality over quantity is Woodman’s strategy.

“Our prices are not the most competitive in order to be a big player in the U.S. market,” he said. “Our niche is more in the added-value products due to the quality of the Peruvian Pima cotton fiber, the longest and softest in the world.”

More dreams The higher education climate is changing, and universities and colleges are scrambling to keep up.

As vice president for programs at the Foundation for Independent Higher Education in Washington, D.C., Michelle Gilliard keeps those institutions on their toes.

“The biggest change has been who is going to college.

It’s a much more diverse group of students, from more immigrant students to homeschooled students to students with learning disabilities,” said Gilliard. “It’s caused higher education to be reflective of its practice.”

That means institutions must take a good look at who their students are and determine how they can best support them, whether it’s diversifying faculty, incorporating different teaching styles or engaging the community with programs like UD’s Christmas on Campus.

Gilliard helps colleges and universities build capacity through grants, partnerships, networking and other practices. By giving them access to resources and supporting their goals, she helps them fulfill their own mission statements. And that benefits the student.

It doesn’t hurt that she knows a thing or two about being a student herself. After graduating with a sociology degree, the former Flyerette earned a master’s degree in sociology at Brown University and a Ph.D. in higher education administration at the University of Michigan. Last year she received an executive master’s degree in international service from American University. She is also an avid traveler and performing arts buff who consults on the side.

Gilliard measures success by the usual figures — admission, retention and graduation rates — but also looks for more human changes, like a president’s new philosophy that sets a new tone.

Those are the changes that signal institutional growth and change.

“Little kinds of human moments where something profound happens that changes people’s lives, how they see themselves, how they see their work, how they see their potential,” Gilliard said, “that demonstrates that my efforts have made a positive impact.”

Chris Ostrom ’87

A different kind of in-service On Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2003, Miss O., as her students call her, received a phone call saying she needed to pack her bags and report to her unit in Wilmington, N.C., to serve anywhere from six months to two years.

“I had 48 hours to get my affairs in order,” she said. “It was really hard for me because my very first class was now in eighth grade, and they would be graduating. There were a lot of tears from all sides.”

Chris Ostrom teaches history and religion to sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School in Greensboro, N.C. One weekend each month and two weeks each summer, she drives four hours to the North Carolina coast to serve in the Coast Guard Reserves.

Ostrom spent two years in active duty in the U.S. Coast Guard after graduating from UD with a degree in elementary education and has been in the Reserves since. Her teaching abilities served her well in boot camp: Ostrom taught study skills to the men in her company in exchange for tips on how to do push-ups.

In class, she stresses the values of honor, discipline and excellence and wears her Coast Guard uniform to school each Veterans Day. “I tell them you have to do your best and give a 300 percent effort,” she said. “I try to explain that your first impressions are lasting impressions.”

Ostrom plans to retire as a chief in the Coast Guard in 2009 after 22 years of service. While the Coast Guard has helped her to personally achieve things she “never thought possible,” teaching is her true vocation.

“It’s been a fun tour of teaching and the Coast Guard, but I look back on my life and think God always wanted me to be in a classroom,” she said. “I had all these different avenues I wanted to go, but I always end up in the classroom.”

Bill Bruninga ’88

Now that’s power It’s 726.4 feet high; it weighs 6.6 million tons; it took five years to build; and it generates 4 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year. The one who keeps “it” — the Hoover Dam — running smoothly is Bill Bruninga, who graduated with a master’s in mechanical engineering with an emphasis in energy conversion.

“My career at Hoover Dam began in 2001 as a mechanical engineer,” he said, “and after three years of helping improve the plant with several significant projects, I was promoted to manager of the power plant at Parker Dam, which creates Lake Havasu on the Colorado River 150 miles south of Hoover.” This lake provides water to the city of Los Angeles 270 miles away.

Stellar performance warranted a promotion and took him back to Hoover Dam in 2006 as plant manager, where he supervises 250 employees and a $50 million annual operating budget.

“I’m honored to be the manager of such a historic award-winning landmark,” Bruninga said.

Hoover Dam is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the West and also hosts dignitaries from around the world as well as many TV documentary and major motion picture projects. “Hoover has been featured in many movies over the years, and was in the motion picture Transformers,” Bruninga said.

Earlier in his career, he designed coin-making production equipment for the Denver Mint, where he said he enjoyed “guaranteeing the project would ‘make money.’”

When not at the dam, Bruninga and his daughter, who live in Boulder City, the only city in Nevada without gambling, enjoy volunteering at church and visiting the many sights in the region — Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Death Valley and the beaches in southern California. “I also enjoy the performing arts — writing, recording and performing music — as well as narrating videos and on-screen acting. Soon I’ll complete and publish a practical Bible study workbook — after I finish remodeling my house.”

An engineer’s work is never done.

—Jeaneen Parsons

Carolyn Seitz Douglas ’90

In the backcountry The year was 1990. Recent college degree in hand, Carrie Seitz Douglas was living in a tent, eating beans and rice and making her living as a log cabin chinker in Colorado.

Her mother couldn’t have been happier.

“My mother was my inspiration. She always told me to find something I love,” Douglas said.

Carrie, husband Scott, and another couple, have owned Sun Valley Trekking (http://www. svtrek.com) since 2000. The entrepreneurs offer backcountry adventures in Idaho, Wyoming and Alaska. In seven years the business, founded in 1983, has more than doubled in income and the number of trips offered.

“Backcountry skiing has been good for us. Improvements in technology and gear in the last five years help a lot,” Douglas said. The owners have also aggressively marketed their services to college and university classes in natural history.

Her diverse résumé not only foreshadows her life today but also prepared the groundwork for it. For instance, Douglas and a friend were living frugally in 1990 because they had a goal: an around-the-world trip.

Carrying backpacks and living in youth hostels, they traveled 13 countries on four continents.

On subsequent journeys Douglas studied farming in Nepal and managed the Explorers Club in Katmandu. She volunteered for a month with Mother Teresa in Calcutta, which was a catalyst for volunteering in the Peace Corps in Thailand when she was 25. She returned to Colorado and continued to study and work as a naturalist, guide and ski instructor in Colorado, Idaho and Alaska. On top of it all, she is also a certified Montessori teacher, a wife and a mother to her son, 2-year-old Zander.

“My travels taught me to appreciate freedom of opportunity and the beauty of simplicity.

We offer outdoor experiences to challenge and inspire people to reach their potential, both in the mountains and in their everyday lives,” she said.

Angela Faris-Belt ’92

Looking, seeing “I make a connection between what I call beauty and what other people call divine,” says Angela Faris-Belt. “I practice photography as a form of visual meditation on beauty and nature so I may better understand the subtle truths they reveal.”

Faris-Belt has taught college-level photography since 1992, even before beginning graduate studies at the University of Michigan, where her thesis, “A Grandmother’s House,” examined the moment and place through evocative documentary photographs.

Her teaching experience — in both fine art and technical photography — led her to write a textbook that bridges the gap between the two paths. The Elements of Photography: Understanding and Creating Sophisticated Images (Focal Press) will be released in March at the Society for Photography Education national conference.

“At photography’s core is a unique visual language that has grammatical elements: framing, focus, time and motion, and materials and processing. Those four elements come together to make a visual statement.” To illustrate those points, her book features works by 48 artists from around the world, including UD photography professors Sean Wilkinson and Joel Whitaker.

In her own work, Faris-Belt also bridges worlds. She captures images digitally and prints them using photogravure print-making techniques, etching a polymer plate in tap water, inking it and putting it through an intaglio press. “It’s completely hybrid and completely nontoxic.”

Faris-Belt, who lives in Morrison, Colo., and teaches full time at the Art Institute of Colorado in Denver, also teaches visual meditation workshops.

“When you’re making photos, you’re in the present moment,” says Faris-Belt, a Buddhist who was drawn to meditative practice for the same reasons she was drawn to photography.

“Engaging in the moment, engaging in looking, rather than letting your thoughts cascade, affects the quality of anything you do.”

Senior Gregg Sosoka and junior Teresa Perretta

got to know more than a few alumni during Reunion Weekend in June. Teresa, a public relations and marketing major, worked behind the scenes for a year with registration and the thousands of small details necessary to pull off a big event. Gregg, who majors in criminal justice, was behind the wheel of a golf cart all weekend, giving alumni lifts across campus.

Alumni at Reunion Weekend told both of them they’re proud of UD. They did it through their words. They also did it through the gifts Gregg and Teresa never saw them make.

Annual gifts from all alumni help fund student scholarships, enhance academic programs and support the other resources that make the UD experience so distinctive for Gregg, Teresa and students all over campus.

Individually, each alumni gift helps them because alumni participation in giving is a tangible measure of alumni pride. Every gift from an alumnus or alumna, no matter its size, contributes to UD’s national reputation as a leader in Catholic higher education.

That kind of pride — expressed in words and in gifts — is one of many reasons they’re also proud to be part of the UD community.

Yvonne Thevenot ’92

Serious numbers For Yvonne Thevenot, success is more than just numbers. But numbers have certainly played a big part in her success.

Consider the $500,000 loan she secured for a technology startup in Chicago by introducing a sound financial infrastructure, a move that made the company profitable for the first time in five years.

Consider the company Thevenot then started, appropriately named Numberspeak, to help small businesses “turn their passion into profit,” as she put it.

Consider the nine-week program she later developed and taught to city contractors in Dallas that showed them how to build a solid cash flow so they wouldn’t go broke when government checks were slow to arrive.

And consider the small JP Morgan Chase Bank branch in Manhattan she brought out of the red. And the larger branch whose assets she grew from $1.4 billion to $1.8 billion in just over a year.

And the 14 branches Thevenot now manages as a district manager and vice president for Chase’s largest Manhattan district, which employs 268 and holds $3.6 billion in assets.

“If you produce the numbers that yield upward trends and results, then that’s going to get you to the next level,” Thevenot said from the New Jersey home that she shares with her husband, Clarel, and their 4-year-old son, Blaise.

A management information systems major at UD, Thevenot credits her college experience — from her computer science classes to her summer internships at Mead to her involvement in theater and Alpha Kappa Alpha — for teaching her to think strategically and create solutions to maximize efficiency and profits.

“I’m charged with focusing on the numbers and growing my district to profitability, but growth won’t happen without motivating my team,” said Thevenot, one of the youngest Chase district managers and also one of the few African-Americans in that position.

“My vision is to create upward trends in the profits as well as in the number of people I help succeed.”

Richard Boykin ’94

Gets things done For many, politics is a dirty business. Law school graduate Richard Boykin doesn’t see it that way. He sees politics as a way to get things done.

“I went into politics because that’s where you have the ability to change things,” said Boykin, the former chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Danny Davis, D-Ill. “I’ve always had this desire inside of me to get things done.”

That desire hasn’t faded since he left congressional work to join Barnes & Thornburg LLP, a 450member law firm with offices in seven cities. Thanks to his experience in Congress, he brings two critical ingredients to the task. He knows the federal government, and he has ties to a lot of people — including the powerful Congressional Black Caucus, whose 43 members include his old boss as well as presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.

Those assets are useful in his new post. For instance, a client mistakenly wired $100,000 to the wrong account in China. The recipient returned only $80,000. The cost of suing would likely have exceeded any judgment.

Boykin intervened. “I got my friends in the Council General’s office involved. Several weeks later, the money was returned in full, without the need to litigate.”

Because of his expertise, Boykin is bringing new business to Barnes & Thornburg. For instance, he landed Cook County, Ill., the nation’s second largest county. He also landed a Chicago hospital.

His success may have seemed in doubt his first few months at UD’s law school. “After the first semester, I was on academic probation.” Two things saved him. One was the help of a fellow law student, Bill Rempel ’94, and professors Susan Brenner, Allen Sultan and Martha Good. The other was a lesson learned from athletics.

He had played defensive end and linebacker on Central State University’s football team. “Football teaches you a lot about life,” he said. “When you get knocked down, you can stay down — or you can get up and get ready for the next play. That’s what I did in law school. I got up and got ready for the next exam.”

Danas Lapkus ’05

Chicago calling Growing up under communist rule in Lithuania, Danas Lapkus was shielded from all kinds of information. The government didn’t even tell his family that his paternal grandmother, a World War II refugee who moved to Chicago in 1945, was still alive. In 1988 as communism unraveled in Eastern Europe, she was finally able to contact her son. “She said, ‘Hi, I’m your mom,’” Lapkus said his father heard when he picked up the phone. “That was a big shock after 40 years to hear those words.”

Lapkus moved to Chicago three years later and started learning English. He became curator of the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Cultures — he earned a master’s degree in art history and museum studies in Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital — and in 1999 earned a Ph.D. in Slavic and Baltic literature and language from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

His interest in law grew after his wife started a medical residency in Muncie, Ind. “I found myself wandering around the house with not much to do — no job, no prospects of continuing a career in museums,” he says. “So I watched all the movies I could find about law school and all the books I could read, and it seemed interesting.” He applied to the University of Dayton School of Law — at a one-and-a-half hour commute, it’s the closest law school to Muncie — and says it’s “one of the best experiences I’ve had.”

Lapkus and his family moved back to the Chicago area shortly after he graduated, and he advertised his legal services in a local Lithuanian newspaper. In the Chicago area there are fewer than 10 attorneys who speak Lithuanian in an ethnic community of more than 200,000, he says. He represents mostly immigrants who feel more comfortable speaking in their native language than in English. Lapkus himself speaks Lithuanian and Russian fluently and can also communicate in Polish and Ukrainian.

Now that his small Willow Springs, Ill., firm — he’s the sole lawyer and has just one part-time secretary — is established and has started to specialize in family law, Lapkus says he feels comfortable in his discovered niche.

2007 Alumni Awards Each year the University of Dayton National Alumni Association

Distinguished Alumnus Award

David Phillips ’62

Christian Service Award

Bill Lorenz ’84

When the University of Dayton bestows its 2007 alumni awards on Sept. 21, David Phillips will be trekking through Georgia toward the Smoky Mountains on the first leg of his plan to hike the Appalachian Trail over seven stages.

Trailblazing and determination come naturally to Phillips, now on his third career.

After retiring in 1994 as partner with Arthur Andersen after 32 years, he served five years as CEO of Downtown Cincinnati Inc., a nonprofit group dedicated to downtown revitalization. Successes included opening the Aronoff Center, retaining Saks Fifth Avenue and constructing new retail space, Fountain Place.

For the past 11 years, he has honored a personal goal: “To spend the rest of my life on poverty-to-work programs — or until the kids put me in the home.” He and his wife, Liane, are co-founders of Cincinnati Works Inc., which helps people in poverty become self-sufficient by overcoming the barriers to stable, long-term employment.

The Harvard Business Review in December 2006 hailed the program as a research-driven business model and noted, “Since its inception in 1996, the organization has greatly reduced turnover for many companies — in some cases, by more than half — by placing 4,000 working poor and chronically unemployed people in jobs and then providing services that help keep them there.”

The couple has made a similar commitment to the University of Dayton, where the David C. and L. Liane Phillips Endowed Scholarship Fund “assists young people caught in the trap of poverty, helps them get on their feet and get the breaks I had,” he said.

A board member or trustee for more than 50 community and civic organizations, Phillips took a leadership role in the merger of the Cincinnati Natural History Museum and Historical Society, in the process saving Union Terminal, one of the last remaining Art Deco railroad terminals in the United States. He chaired Cincinnati’s Chamber of Commerce, the first accountant to do so.

He has been a perennial servant leader at his alma mater, serving on the board of trustees, including a three-year term as chair.

“The concept of learn, lead, serve provided the foundation for all I’ve become,” he said.

“These Christian principles formed at UD set the direction for my personal, professional and volunteer efforts.”

Phillips’ efforts have been recognized with awards from numerous organizations. “To be recognized by an institution you have a great love for is very special,” he said. “UD means an awful lot to me. I’m a stronger individual because of UD.”

One in every 35 persons on Earth is a migrant.

Hunger, war, economics — the causes are varied. The result is 192 million people having left their place of birth. Helping some of them on their journey is Bill Lorenz.

As an undergraduate finance major at UD, he learned of people in Kenya from Brother Peter Daino, S.M. After graduation he joined the Peace Corps, went to Columbia University for graduate school and worked in a number of countries for nongovernmental organizations.

Now, as an operations officer for the International Organization for Migration, he works out of that NGO’s regional office in Nairobi, Kenya, overseeing the movement of refugees accepted for resettlement in Canada, Australia and the United States. Although migrants generally move unnoticed by news media more concerned with the spectacular, one group aided by Lorenz drew worldwide attention two years ago when BBC News carried on its Web site Lorenz’s chronicle of a 200-mile journey home of 5,000 displaced Sudanese.

When the Sudanese ended their quest successfully, Lorenz said he “heard joy in their voices.”

Lorenz continues to help migrants, including recently a group of Ethiopian migrants who became stranded in Somalia while seeking to migrate to work in the Gulf States. But the work, as before, goes on without a global spotlight.

Christian Service Award

Richard McBride ’57

Special Achievement Award

Elizabeth Duell ’58

Special Achievement Award

Joseph Hinrichs ’89

Dick McBride’s degree is in chemical engineering, not the background you might expect for president and CEO of St. Mary Development Corp., the largest nonprofit provider of affordable housing in southwestern Ohio. But his commitment to social justice spans decades.

McBride cofounded St. Mary Development Corp. in 1989 with Sister Rose Wildenhaus, C.PP.S., a ’65 UD graduate. They served together on the Social Action and World Peace Commission of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, helped to create housing for poor elderly in the former St. Leonard Seminary and then moved their work into the city, into East Dayton’s Twin Towers neighborhood.

Their first apartment building for poor seniors was Twin Towers Place. “We were very involved with those first hundred residents. We learned everything about managing a senior community,” McBride recalls.

“I even mowed the grass. One day we were having a large meeting of residents in the dining room, and I was dressed up in a suit. One of the residents said, ‘That guy looks just like the man who cuts the grass.’”

From those early days, St. Mary’s has provided more than 2,400 affordable housing units and 500 units of affordable senior housing, and has helped more than 250 families become homeowners.

The work is not done. “Because of our great reputation, people are expecting more of us — the city of Dayton, the county, even the state of Ohio. We just have to be open to future projects and respond to what God wants us to do.”

Elizabeth Duell follows the shade when she works in her 40-by-25-foot garden. In a straw hat, slacks and sleeves to the elbows, she tends her flowers, asparagus, strawberries and other plants, one of the pleasures of her retirement seven years ago.

Her reasons are both personal and professional. The personal is her mother, who grew up on a farm and always told her to stay out of the sun. The professional is the decades of research of skin pathologies and her pioneering research in therapies for psoriasis, cancer and other diseases of the skin in which sun damage plays a significant role.

At the University of Michigan Medical School, where she holds the rank of professor emeritus after a 30-year career there, her colleagues praise not only her national and international reputation as a researcher but also her leadership as a longtime member and leader of the Academic Women’s Caucus, in which she remains active today.

Her former students now serve as researchers and professors on the faculties of institutions throughout the country. The impact of her research, including more than 75 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, is seen in hospitals, pharmacies and overthe-counter drug aisles across the country every day.

“When you go to the drug store and buy a protective or healing product that has retinol, Retin or other retinoic acid product,” wrote a colleague at Michigan, “you will be holding in your hand the direct result of Dr. Duell’s careful work.”

As Ford Motor Co.’s vice president of North America manufacturing, Joe Hinrichs is charged with making Ford’s 41 vehicle assembly and powertrain plants in the U.S., Canada and Mexico more efficient. In the last 18 months, his efforts have saved the company more than $500 million in operating costs annually.

Still, Ford has too many factories and too many employees.

“The real challenge is working with all our employees to align capacity with demand, improve quality, and make our manufacturing costs more competitive,” Hinrichs said, all moves necessary for solidifying the future of the company he calls “a professional icon.”

“You can’t replace a company like Ford,” said Hinrichs, the company’s youngest vice president. “You have to preserve it. This is more than just any company. It’s part of the fabric of America. I have the opportunity to be part of re-establishing an American icon.”

He has reached out to thousands of employees in town-hall style meetings at factories, where he talks openly about the business realities facing Ford. “Here’s what the numbers mean to you,” he explains. He also spends a lot of time listening.

“We’re all on the same team, all part of the same family,” he said. “It isn’t union versus management. It’s employee and employee.

We’re all in this together, and we have to find a way for everyone to win. And we will.

The union can’t be successful if the company isn’t. One of us can’t be successful without the other.”

He is, according to the Detroit Free Press, “one part Grim Reaper, one part deity and, quite clearly, an unpredictable Whiz Kid to watch.”

Reunion Weekend 2007

ore than 2,100 people, including 1,600+ alumni, came to UD for Reunion Weekend in June, a new attendance record. It was the fourth consecutive year in which more than 10 percent of all living reunion-year alumni attended and the third time in the last four years that total attendance topped 2,000. They spent time on campus again with classmates and housemates, renewed their wedding vows with Father Norbert Burns, S.M., in the chapel, and saw the remodeling in progress of the Castle and other houses in the student neighborhood. They also contributed almost

$2 million to support the University’s distinctive mission and students.

Reunion Weekend 2008 is already on the calendar — mark yours for June 20-22. Members of the classes of 2003, 1998, 1993, 1988, 1983, 1978, 1973, 1968, 1963 and 1958 and Golden Flyers will be getting more information in the mail beginning this fall, but you don’t have to be in a reunion year to attend. For more information or to volunteer to help plan your class’s reunion, visit http://reunion.udayton.edu or contact alumni relations at 888-UD-ALUMS or 937-229-3299.

The NAA also appointed new chapter council officers who serve as at-large members of the board: Denver chapter president Bill Boesch ’91, Boston chapter president Alisha Perdue ’00, former Rochester chapter president Bob Carlson ’79 and former Columbus chapter president Jen Stefanics ’98. All begin their terms at the Alumni Leadership Conference in September.

AAAO leadership changes

On May 11, the African American Alumni Organization hosted a reception for alumni in Marianist Hall to report on efforts to support current students through social activities, the Morton-Hathcock Leadership Scholars program and a scholarship fund. A week earlier, members elected new officers to guide the revitalized group into its third year.

They include Henderson Scott ’97, president; Shari Gann-Spearman ’80, vice president; Tiwona Branham ’93, secretary; and Angela Parker ’87, treasurer. For more information about the organization, contact Patricia Crews ’77 in alumni relations at patricia.crews@notes.udayton.edu.

In It Happened in Kentucky, Mimi O’Malley ’87 gets past the Kentucky of horse racing and Civil War sites to lesserknown stories in the state’s history. “It was amazing how many firsts really did derive from Kentucky,” she said. They include the first doctor to extract an ovarian cyst (1809), the South’s first free children’s hospital (1890) and the first female managing editor of a major U.S. newspaper, the Louisville Courier-Journal (1974).

In 2004, Colin Barr ’99 finished his first triathlon after winning the Degree Ironman contest, which paid for five months of training. In his new book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Triathlon Training, he helps others tackle their first. He’s also using his new passion to raise funds for HOPE worldwide (http://thetriguys.com/givingback).

“It’s amazing what our bodies can do,” he said. “You can make it fun if you decide to make it fun.”

Brian Bennett ’84 lays out strategies for preparing for and responding to terrorist attacks in Understanding, Assessing, and Responding to Terrorism. “The overriding thing was how unprepared we were,” he said. “(The book is) a methodology that shows us the lessons learned to help better prepare ourselves to withstand that kind of attack.” Chapter topics range from how terrorists finance operations and test security to strategies for developing emergency response plans.

In French Symbolist Poetry and the Idea of Music, Joseph Acquisto ’97 explores the interaction of music and poetry in the work of Charles Baudelaire, Stéphane Mallarmé and other late 19th and early 20th century French poets. “Both music and language are far more complex and far more vital and intricate than we think,” he said. “They really can be vehicles for changing how we see the world.”

Timothy Warneka ’89 applies the ancient wisdom of the Tao Te Ching to the global realities of the 21st century in The Way of Leading People. The book pairs Warneka’s contemporary interpretive verses with photographs by his brother and co-author, Patrick. “(Patrick’s) photographs teach us that we do not need to escape to the forests and mountains to discover the Eternal,” said Tim Warneka. “I think the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching is really applicable in today’s society.”

The morning dew clings to blades of grass on my mother’s grave with the same tenacity and grace she displayed during a decade of illness.

In my mind, a mockingbird flits between my mother’s and grandparents’ headstones at Calvary Cemetery. The words from a 95-year-old woman’s letter echo in my head, chasing away the pain: “I know the very spot where your loved ones are buried. In good weather, I went with Rosalie every Sunday to water the flowers. Many Sundays a mockingbird seemed to greet us. I would follow him from statue to statue, almost like playing tag. Rosalie wasn’t quite as fleet of foot, but would laugh and laugh.”

For more than a dozen years, my grandmother Rosalie Krimm’s best friend, Viola King, has scribbled long, chatty letters filled with memories of their lifelong friendship. Even after my grandmother died in 1998, the letters continued to pop up in my mailbox, a treat hidden among the bills and credit card solicitations.

Few people write real letters anymore. Yet, there’s something enduring and exquisite about letters written between friends.

On that cool, peaceful summer morning standing before my mother’s grave, I realized how much I learned about family and friendship from those letters. A few days before Christmas in 1998, my grandmother lay half-comatose, tethered to oxygen and holding onto a wisp of life. I read a letter to her through eyes blurred with tears. “Not a day passes that I do not pray for her and feel grief, but when the final time comes, I know I will be devastated,” Viola wrote.

“Can anyone realize it has been a friendship over 80 years? I was in the first grade, and she was in Miss Straley’s second grade. We laughed, played, whispered, slept next to

each other, sat next to each other in the dining room and got punished for the same things.”

Viola’s letters vividly described their growing-up years at the former Ohio Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphans’ Home in Xenia, their hus-

it. She regaled me with new anecdotes of childhood adventures in the orphanage, observations about our troubled world and an insider’s view of life in this small-town neighborhood where her doctor makes house calls. Still nimble, she lamented how macular degeneration has robbed her of the pleasure of reading and makes writing letters difficult because she can see only three letters at a time. It hasn’t stopped her from picking up a pen anyway.

She opened up her wallet and showed me a picture of my grandmother. “I think it would make her happy to know that I still carry this,” she said.

I blinked away tears. After months of quiet grief, I felt restored again.

When I step foot in the cemetery, I will listen for the song of that long-ago mockingbird — and its poignant reminder that love perseveres.

relearning. Genuine love is not fleeting. It goes the distance, turning its back on anger, envy, pride and selfishness. That’s the kind of marathon these women ran in tandem.

bands, their vacations, their shared jokes. I learned about taking care of hummingbirds, canning tomatoes, concocting gourmet meals, enduring the banes of old age — even whether John Jakes’ latest novel was worth the paper it was printed on.

Most of all, I learned how to nurture friendship, the kind that lasts a lifetime. Many letters ended with Viola’s signature statement, “I promise to keep boring you.”

When I reflect on the friendship these two women cultivated, I think of the kind of love described in I Corinthians: “(Love) always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

It’s a lesson some of us keep

Viola wrote to me in a February 2000 letter. “I see so few with longstanding or solid friendships. I’d like to make them realize that one must be a friend in order to have friends. I feel sorry that there seems to be no depth in people’s feelings.

Everything seems on the surface. …Whatever happened to the time when a cup of tea and an hour or so with a dear friend or a good neighbor was important?”

I recently made the two-hour drive to Fredericktown, Ohio, for cucumber gazpacho, a cup of tea and an afternoon of non-stop conversation with this delightful woman who’s nearly twice as old as I am with the wisdom to prove

We had an important stop to make before heading to Reunion Weekend festivities June 9: the backyard at 417 Kiefaber St. Specifically, four other class of ’87 grads and I were looking for a notch in the house’s cement back porch. Follow that 25 inches north and we just might find the hopes and dreams we buried 20 years ago in a dusty peach schnapps bottle serving as our official time capsule.

It was April 23, 1987, when the five of us decided to record sentiments and predictions about where our lives would take us two decades hence. We were a diverse group: Julie Gerdeman Guilbert and Ron Higdon graduating from the School of Business Administration, Jan Lezny from the School of Engineering, and J.P. Luhr and I from the

University of Dayton Quarterly 46 Autumn 2007

College of Arts and Sciences.

We shared the things most UD students did: front-porch Ghetto parties, a devotion to Flyer basketball and (fairly) regular attendance at 10 p.m. Mass in the chapel. But we also were known to skip the Ghetto scene for gatherings at the guys’ house on Chambers Street punctuated by WYSO music and one of Julie’s patented Kool-Aid and vodka concoctions.

I didn’t think I’d make the long trip for this reunion. But the chance to reconnect with old friends and dig up the time capsule proved too tempting.

So, 20 years later, our graying, somewhat paunchy bunch traipsed to the backyard on Kiefaber, a shovel and tape measure in tow.

No one answered our knock on the door. But a peek in the window revealed living conditions mostly unchanged in 20 years and the hysterical discovery by Jan, our engineer, that the box springs he’d left behind two decades ago were still in use.

It took only about 25 minutes to unearth our treasure, thanks to the directions Jan had scrawled on the back of a grocery bag: “25" north of cement, 18" west of walkway … like 32" deep!”

Among the first things to emerge was Ron’s résumé with the scrawled notation, “I couldn’t get a job with this résumé. I hope I have one when this is found.”

We also unearthed a newspaper clipping, Billboard’s Top 20 songs, a dime and forecasts on our future.

J.P. was the most prescient when he guessed he’d be living in Buffalo, much like his parents, and would own a boat.

“If anything else happens, I will be surprised. If anything better happens, I would really be surprised,” he wrote. He also practices law there.

I thought I’d direct PR operations for the Cincinnati Reds while married to team owner, Johnny Bench. That was news to my husband, Jeff, and our daughter Annie.

Ron, the first among our group to marry and today a father of four, groaned when he read his predictions of wealth, fame and marriage “to the hottest looking woman imaginable.” Julie correctly guessed

that she’d have two kids. She and husband, Tom Guilbert ’75, are parents to twin girls.

But it was the note penned by Jan that hit home. Now living in San Diego, Jan traveled the farthest to attend this reunion. Yet it was his organized e-mail campaign that persuaded the rest of us to drop family, work and responsibilities for a weekend to make time for something equally important: friendship.

“I already miss everyone from UD and I have not even left this place yet,” read his 20-year-old note. “I hope we all are as happy … today as we were when we put this (time capsule) here. Thank you all my friends for the happiness. I could have never done it without you. …”

Amen.

The 1960s were a chaotic time in these United States, in the world, and in the church. Our country was torn apart with emotions heating up exponentially. It was the time of Vatican II, an ecumenical council called by Pope John XXIII in an attempt to bring the Roman Catholic Church into the “modern” world.

At the same time a theological renaissance was occurring in my own denomination, the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., as we attempted to address the chaos in the world, in our nation, and in our church. It was a time in need of reconciliation — a theme that permeates the Christian scriptures and one that dominated the Presbyterian Church’s newest theological statement, simply known as The Confession of 1967.

In 1962 Father Matthew Kohmescher, S.M., was appointed chair of the department of theological studies at the University of Dayton. Pope John XXIII opened the doors of the church enabling a theological renaissance to take place and Father Matt Kohmescher promptly marched right through them.

Father Matt’s spirit was deeply rooted in his beloved Catholicism,

Autumn 2007 47 University of Dayton Quarterly

but his vision for quality theological education and leadership expanded his horizons. He saw the need for constructive dialogue, sincere cooperation, a clear presentation of the Catholic tradition, and an unprejudiced understanding of those who expressed the same Christian faith in other denominations.

Father Matt was instrumental in the founding of a cooperative venture in the Dayton area throughout the 1960s and 1970s known as CHERS, the Consortium for Higher Education in Religious Studies. This community of scholars encouraged and supported openness among UD, Wright State University, Antioch College, the Hamma School of Theology at Wittenberg University (Lutheran), United Theological Seminary (Methodist) and St. Leonard’s College (Roman Catholic, Franciscan).

There was the ability to exchange faculty, share resources, have students enroll in courses in the respective institutions for credit, meet with each other for academic exchange and support each other in the academic development of all our students. I remember very well the joy of having Franciscan friars, United Methodist seminarians, Lutherans, and those who were studying theology in secular public and private universities in the same graduate classes.

Father Matt hired a large number of faculty primarily for the graduate program starting in 1967. What made these hirings unique was that Father Matt hired a number of Protestant theologians along with a number of Roman Catholic scholars. Father Matt was much more interested in the faculty person’s theological expertise than his or her personal faith community or history. For example, I am a Presbyterian, but my area of expertise for the graduate program was the theology and philosophy of the ancient church, and I had studied under a Russian Orthodox priest at Princeton University.

Father Matt’s goal was to establish a respectable, successful program of studies in academic theology and pastoral ministries to assist and support the Roman Catholic Church.

And he was successful. Our graduate programs have reached hundreds of students, some of whom serve faithfully and with distinction in local parishes, and the church is richer for it. Others have gone on to further their academic careers by pursuing their doctorates. While I cannot say none of this would have happened had Kohmescher not followed his vision, or had he not had the courage of his convictions and dreams, I can say he did stand firmly, but fairly, in following his vision; he was quietly courageous, and always the epitome of Christian graciousness and love.

The Book of Acts records an incident in the life of the Apostle Paul, who was being pursued by enemies. The early followers of Jesus of Nazareth let him down the side of the city wall in order to escape. Their names are not recorded anywhere, but without them, who knows what might have happened.

It is entirely likely, however, if he had been caught, tried, and possibly executed, there would be no great “Hymn of Love,” there would be no powerful passages on faith and justification such as we find in the Epistle to the Romans, there would be no great themes of reconciliation such as we find in II Corinthians.

These unknown helpers expressed their faith by helping Paul.

In a similar way, Father Matthew Kohmescher’s name is not on the tip of everyone’s tongue, he is not mentioned in the lists of the world’s great theologians, but he was a prophet, courageous and strong; he was a faithful servant who saw a task that needed addressing and he did so; he was as the Apostle Paul once put it, a man en Christo, with all the power, beauty, joy, grace and love that that description implies.

I was privileged to have known and served with Matthew Kohmescher; he has had a wonderfully positive impact on the life of me and my family, and we shall all miss him.

Now we simply say, well done, good and faithful servant, welcome home!

Porch ministry

By Teri Rizvi —­­­—— A bag of sand sits propped in the corner of Sister Annette Schmeling’s front porch on Irving Avenue, an impromptu gift from a student that made UD’s new vice president for student development feel right at home.

“I was sitting one evening talking to a group of students and they asked what I enjoyed most, what were my favorite things to do. It’s beach ministry. That’s where I feel closest to God,” she says.

“When I came home the next night, one of the students had left a bag of sand on the porch. Beach ministry was giving way to porch ministry. I was here to stay.”

This summer, Schmeling moved into UD’s close-knit student neighborhood, joining more than two dozen Marianist brothers and priests who live in homes scattered among student residences. For the past 25 years, Schmeling, a member of the Religious of the Sacred Heart congregation, has lived in residence
