“I graduated from St. Mike’s in 1961 aer ve terric years with exceptional teachers – Fr. Penny, CSB,Fr. Bauer’44, CSB, Fr. Fitzpatrick, CSB, OSM, Fr. O’Brien, CSB, Fr. Kelly, CSB, and a great group of priest ‘wannabees’, includingMike Quealey ’51 and Joe Dietrich ’52. Aer graduation from St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto, I went on to work with the Ministry of Northern Aairs and then National Parks Services in Oawa. I then moved to the Department of Mines and Natural Resources in Manitoba. In 1969 I headed o to the West Indies for two years with Cuso, a Canadian international development organization that connects communities around the world with skilled Canadians to help ght poverty and inequality. While in Manitoba, I married a wonderful young Mennonite woman, Gisela, in a wedding conducted by Fr. Edmond Torecki, SJ in First Mennonite Church, Winnipeg. Bishop Flahi was in Winnipeg at the time and he gave permission for this to happen – thanks go to John XXIII and Vatican II! I spent a couple of years at the University of British Columbia taking a Master’s degree aer my return to Canada, then 30 years with Parks Canada, until retiring in 2001. With three happily married children and six grandchildren, life doesn’t get much beer - and I owe a great deal to my education at St. Mike’s. ose ve years remain a highlight.”
