John Rathmell ‘75, president of Lockton Marine & Energy at Lockton Companies

“What remains most vivid and relevant to me today are the relationships,” Rathmell says. “The Basilians who made up most of the faculty, a great group of friends who crossed ethnic and financial lines. I grew up in River Oaks, attended St. Anne’s (Catholic School), was looked upon as the so-called rich kid. But there was a great acceptance throughout our student body, a fraternal community. I developed bonds with classmates, got to know parents and families, understand their experiences. It was enlightening academically and spiritually. Those years formed my foundation, the building blocks where I have stood in life.”
