Class Notes
JOHN MCINTOSH ’61
Last July I was able to throw out the first pitch at an Orioles/ Yankees game. My grandson Ryan Mountcastle was the catcher. I told Ryan that I would throw a circle change because of my arthritis. Ryan told me, “Don’t worry I can pick it.” I dropped it in the dirt right in front of the plate, and he picked it. Impressive for an 80-year-old. The game was a sellout and thrill of a lifetime.

RICHARD ZMUDA ’75
Zmuda recently published The Mole of Vatican Council II: The True Story of “Xavier Rynne.” A riveting—and historically accurate—storyline that pits a subversive group of powerful cardinals in the Vatican Curia against two popes, 2,500 cardinals and bishops, and one determined American priest risking everything to expose the truth. The future of the Catholic Church is literally at stake and the ending is in doubt until the very last pages. Based on the personal papers of Fr. Frank Murphy, aka “Xavier Rynne.”
DENNIS SULLIVAN ’79
Dennis and Anne Sullivan were recognized as the Catholic Business Network of Montgomery County Business Persons of the Year. The Sullivan’s raised their three children in Kensington. They have been active members of the Holy Redeemer parish since 1992. Dennis coached soccer and basketball for 21 years and Anne was a Eucharistic Minister for 12 years. Their children attended Holy Redeemer and then their two sons went on to Gonzaga and their daughter went to Holy Cross.
Dennis started his company, FCN, Inc., with his brother, George, in 1990 in Anne and Dennis’ basement. The company grew and evolved over the years with Anne joining the company in 1998. The company currently has 140 employees and sells IT products and services to the federal government. The Sullivans enjoy being able to support the Catholic schools and agencies that mean so much to them. FCN is a significant supporter of Catholic education throughout the area. In addition to financial support, the Sullivans volunteer their time and talent in support of local Catholic education.
