A MESSAGE FROM THE
Principal...
Dear Friends,
“The tradition continues”
W
e have completed another year at Bishop Ready and we have added another class of graduates
to our Alumni/ae Association! As you will read in these pages, many of our “seniors” have
continued the Ready tradition of academic excellence, coupled with athletic achievement, and
surrounded by service to others, and commitment to Catholic values. As we like to say,
“The tradition continues…”
We have completed our Walk Down Memory Lane, revisiting the ‘60s through 2008. In this issue,
we have a brief recap of those decades. We continue to look forward to our 50th Anniversary and
request that you send us your thoughts, ideas, memories for inclusion in our celebrations.
We continue to offer our students a top quality education and we continue to rely on your
generosity to insure that all students who need financial assistance can receive it. Our legacy
scholarships, which are so vital to our assistance packages, are a wonderful way to remember or
honor a loved one. Our Challenge Grant continues and any donation will be doubled, up to a total
donation of $200,000 (which becomes--voila!—$400,000. It’s like magic and you are the magician!),
all of which helps our students. It’s never too late to donate to the annual fund or add an extra
amount…in gratitude or in hopefulness!
The academic year 2008-09 was quite a year, both for scholarship and for athletics. A long list of
sports awards winners is included in this issue; we encourage all who are in the Columbus area to join
with us in supporting all of our co- and extra-curricular activities…from sports to band to theatre to
career day and retreats. Just check our web site for updates on times/schedules/locations for our many
school-related activities.
The Alumni/ae Hall of Fame Luncheon was, again, a great success! If you have not joined us for
one of these special luncheons, I heartily encourage you to plan to do so in the future. A good time is
always had by all and it’s a great way to “re-connect” with your classmates. As always, we are
looking for your input for the next round of honorees, so please take the time and nominate someone
whom you deem deserving of this honor. You’ll find a nomination sheet in this issue and online.
In past issues, we have focused on service, our Catholic tradition, sports, and the arts. In this issue,
we take a look at theatre at Bishop Ready. With so many arts budgets in the community being cut,
it’s nice to be able to see true family entertainment, done with professionalism and enthusiasm, at a
most reasonable cost. That’s theatre at Bishop Ready! Twice a year, our esteemed director and
faculty member, Jill Larger, “puts on a show.” Whether it’s the drama of Our Town or the “drama”
of You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown (who could ever forget Snoopy singing his joy at
“Suppertime”?), the Bishop Ready thespians (and their behind-the-scenes partners) never fail to
entertain! So, we are happy to spotlight their accomplishments. (With a special nod of thanks to
Kathy Rex for her help.)
There seems to be a theme emerging here…and it is: come back for a visit! Whether it’s to be a
part of Grandparents’ Day (moved this year to the spring; we’ve learned our lesson after two
disastrous winter attempts…), a sporting event, a school liturgy, or a theatre production; whether it’s
as a parent, friend, alum, or prospective student; whether it’s as a volunteer helping out or a member
of the crowd/audience enjoying the event…we welcome you to Bishop Ready and we look forward to
seeing you often!
You can keep us “in the loop” of your life via the postal service or by e-mail to Michelle Kelly
(mkelly@cdeducation.org). Check our web site often for updates and be sure to keep us posted!
With all best wishes,

Cover Story:
Theatre
“O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention,
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!”
— Wm. Shakespeare, Henry V, Prologue
Theatre, when done well – whether
on the high school, community, college,
or professional level – can transport us.
Theatre, when done well, can take us
beyond our normal boundaries; it can
make us weep, laugh, think, dream, and
long for distant places and times.
Theatre, when done well, transcends our
everyday existence. It releases us from
our fears and burdens; it creates a world
that allows us to experience
“experience” far beyond what our
everyday life brings.
Theatre, when done well, can also make
us realize how lucky we are in our
everyday lives! For it can convey fear,
terror, grief, heartbreak, and savagery
beyond what any human can endure.
N
o matter how much we may bemoan
our families, we always leave the theatre
grateful that they are not the Macbeths…or
the Tyrones. No matter how much we may
dislike our jobs, we leave the theatre grateful
that we are not Willy Loman. No matter
how we feel about a failed romance, we leave
the theatre grateful that we are neither
Desdemona nor Othello! And if we feel
betrayed by a friend? Well, “Et tu”—at least
it’s not like Caesar and Brutus!
Theatre, at Bishop Ready, has given many
student/actors, and many more audience
members, reason to be transported. The
Little Theatre has become Oz, Argentina,
Eden, and Egypt, as well as small-town
America. Productions have included
comedies, musicals, student-directed one-act
plays, and pure drama. From an obscure
playwright (Rollin W. Coyle) to Britain’s
finest and most prolific musical-theatre
composer/producer (Andrew Lloyd Webber),
the theatre world has been amply and ably
represented at Bishop Ready.
Like the world that it portrays, theatre is
never static. Take words and phrases, for
example.
Back in 1962, the first production at
Bishop Ready was a comedy about three
young ladies who move into their first
apartment in NY. However, they are only
paying rent for two; when the landlady
appears, one of the young women must
“disappear.” The play, by Rollin W. Coyle, is
still being produced by high schools today.
However, the name has often been
shortened; no longer known as “Come Out
of the Closet” (the name by which it was
produced at Bishop Ready), it is now more
frequently produced as “The Closet.” The
third young lady still reappears “out of the
closet” when the landlady leaves.
In 2005, as the Keynote Commencement
speaker, Dr. Gary Ansel (’75) related this
theatre story, one which is worth sharing and
which conveys the “power” of make-believe:
“I was not at the top of my class while at
Ready. I was a B student, played a couple of
sports, but really not the type anyone would
have thought of to be in the school play
(which that year was Bye, Bye, Birdie).
“However, I got involved with the play for
one important reason: a girl. I figured if she
thought it was deep, then she would be mine.
’62 Drama Production.
Bottom Row, l to r: Joseph Holdrieth, Chuck Erdy (deceased),
Jim Howells, Steve Carr, and Tom Close. Top Row, l to r:
Mary Ann Buening Storch, Dianne Grundei Chrisman, Rita
DelCiello, Kathy Redmond Walt, Barbara Dalton Heckendorn,
Judy Dorr Putman, and Michelle Fleer Cacchio, all Class of
1965, the 1st Graduating Class for Bishop Ready High School!
(Photo and i.d.s provided by Barbara Dalton Heckendorn —
much thanks!)
“I thought, ‘The worst they could say is
no.’ Well, they didn’t, but she did. I ended
up being stuck playing the part of the mayor,
gray hair and all, in the school play.
“During opening night a few of us got
bored, so, during the second act, Steve James,
another classmate, and I went out back to stir
up some excitement. We staged a heart
attack in the street, with CPR and
everything. Mr. James, dressed as a police
officer, looked very convincing and directed
traffic. Needless to say, when our director
came out to find us, she was not a happy
camper.
“Little did I know that I would go from
staging a heart attack to someday treating
heart attacks by becoming an international
cardiologist…”
One never knows where a “theatrical”
experience can take one!

Over the years, the Ready Players have brought many
memorable characters to life. From Hyman Kaplan to Howard
Hill and from Eve to Eva Peron, the Ready stage has come alive
with the sounds and sights of that living, breathing organism
known as live theatre!
Join with us as we continue our stroll down memory lane,
this time through the visual history of our theatre productions.

“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms,
the most immediate way in which a human being
can share with another the sense of what it is to
be a human being.” — Thornton Wilder

Can you name the songs from
Bishop Ready productions whose
lyrics are reproduced here?
Answers can be found on page 32.
1 “Bring on the soup dish, bring on the cup,
bring on the bacon and fill me up.”
And now, a round of applause for our director…
2 “May I return to the beginning, the light
Jill spent 13 years as a student in the
Catholic schools’ system and
appreciates the value of a Catholic
education. “I love the pride and sense
of family I received from my years in
Catholic schools,” she said. “I am so
happy to be back in the Catholic school
system and giving back what my
teachers gave me.”
is dimming, and the dream is, too.
The world and I, we are still waiting…
still hesitating…any dream will do.”
3 “Yesterday they told you you would not
go far, that night you opened, and there
you are. Next day on your dressing room
they’ve hung a star. Let’s go on with
the show…”
4
“There are copper bottom tympani in
horse platoons, thundering, thundering all
along the way. Double bell euphoniums
and big bassoons, each bassoon having
it’s big, fat say!”
5 “Nothing was different and nothing would
ever be the same. It was the end of a
perfect day.”
6 “And as for fortune and as for fame,
I never invited them in, though it seemed
to the world they were all I desired.”
7 “Just thinkin’ about tomorrow clears
away the cobwebs, and the sorrow
‘til there’s none!”
8 “We thank thee then, O Father, for all
things bright and good, the seedtime
and the harvest, our life, our health,
our food…”
Jill Larger began directing plays at
Bishop Ready in the fall of 2005. Her
first production was It’s A Wonderful
Life and her latest was this spring’s
perennial favorite, You’re A Good
Man, Charlie Brown. In between those
bookends, she has directed Footloose,
Cheaper by the Dozen, Children of
Eden, Fools, Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Our Town.
A native of Sidney, OH, Jill has a
Bachelor’s degree in Musical Theatre
from Ball State University. While at
Ball State, she performed in 14 shows.
She has studied classical ballet, jazz,
tap, musical theater comedy, and has
taught dance on all levels. After
graduation, Jill lived in New York City
where she worked as a professional
actress.
Jill and her husband, Mike, are the
parents of three young daughters,
Grace, Gabrielle, and Gwendolyn.
Asked if there is a “dream”
production that she would like to
stage, Jill answers that her “current
obsession and constant love for the
past six years has been Wicked. I love
the music from this show and the
message it sends about how people
come into your life for a reason and
how you then are ‘changed for the
good.’” She admits to a great love for
all of Stephen Schwartz’s work and
hopes to direct more of his plays,
already having done Children of Eden
for Bishop Ready.
Jill enjoys “the creativity, the
applause, the joy of making the
audience think and feel and care about
the characters” and her goal with each
production is to teach the actors to
feel: “It’s all about communicating
ideas, emotions, hopes, and dreams
and there is nothing more important
than that.”
In addition to her directing duties,
Jill also teaches in the Visual &
Performing Arts Department.
9 “Oh, I once heard a poem that goes,
‘A rose is a rose is a rose’; but I don’t
agree, take it from me, there’s one rose
sweeter than any that grows…”
“Use what talents you possess: the
woods would be very silent if no
birds sang there except those that
sang best.” — Henry Van Dyke

n the last edition of
The Ready Report, we
were pleased to share
the news that Jim Schaefer, ’82, had been awarded
the 2008 Worth Bingham Prize for Investigative
Journalism for a series of articles written for the
Detroit Free Press. Now we are happy to report that
Jim, along with his fellow newspaper journalist M.L.
Elrick, has been awarded the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for
Local Reporting.
The Pulitzer Prizes have been honoring excellence in
journalism and the arts since 1917 and the 2009 Prizes
were awarded at a luncheon ceremony at Columbia
University in May.
To quote from the Pulitzer web site, the Local
Reporting award is given “For a distinguished example
of reporting on significant issues of local concern,
demonstrating originality and community expertise, in
print or online or both” and carries a monetary prize of
$10,000.
This year’s prize was “awarded to Detroit Free Press
Staff, and notably Jim Schaefer and M.L. Elrick, for
their uncovering of a pattern of lies by Mayor Kwame
Kilpatrick that included denial of a sexual relationship
with his female chief of staff, prompting an
investigation of perjury that eventually led to jail terms
for the two officials.”
In Jim’s words: “I got started in journalism during
my time at Bishop Ready. I got in a bit of trouble (too
many detentions!) early on at Ready, but by junior
year, I settled down a bit. As a junior, in 1981, an
English teacher asked if anyone in the class wanted to
work for The Catholic Times, the Diocesan newspaper.
I
“Education is not the filling of a
pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
— William Butler Yeats
I didn’t know much about working for a newspaper,
but I kind of liked writing and she was pushing me to
give it a shot. So I became the high school editor for
The Catholic Times. I ended up doing it for two years,
longer than any previous high school editor. I loved it.
It was empowering to write about the happenings at
our school and the others in our Catholic league. I
give lots of credit to Bishop Ready for providing me
the opportunity to get into journalism.”
Jim continues: “After Ready, I went to Ohio State,
where I took six years to get my undergrad degree. I
wasn’t just lazy, I was heavily involved in the school
newspaper there, The Lantern. Plus, I wanted to get
some real-world experience before graduating, so I got
a few internships in newspapers that really helped me
get a good job after college. I got hired at the Detroit
Free Press in 1988, right after Ohio State. I was an
editor at first, but became a reporter about a year later.
I’ve been one ever since. And I still fly the Buckeye
flag in Michigan, even though I’ve had at least one
stolen from the front of my house!”
In 2007, Jim led a year-long investigation into a
national overdose epidemic involving a synthetic
heroin. The drug, clandestinely made in Mexico,
killed more than 1,000 people in the United States,
including nearly 300 in metropolitan Detroit. The
newspaper’s investigation, published as a one-day
special section, earned the Nancy Dickerson
Whitehead Award for Excellence in Reporting on Drug
and Alcohol Problems.
Jim and M.L. Elrick have also earned the Clark
Mollenhoff Award for Investigative Reporting in 2005
and six national awards in 2008-09, including the
George Polk Award for Local Reporting and the
Associated Press Managing Editors Public Service Award.
In addition to his newspaper work with the Free
Press, Jim was an investigative producer for more than
three years at Detroit’s ABC affiliate, WXYZ-TV.
As well as doing investigative reporting for the paper,
Jim has worked as a page designer, video game critic,
and he is the author of a Sunday feature interview
of quirky people.
Jim and his wife, Sue (a graduate of Hilliard High
School), are the parents of three: Sean, Abigail, and
Reilly. Both Jim and Sue still have family in the
Columbus area.
Congratulations to Jim and his partner M.L. Elrick
and to the Detroit Free Press! We wish them much
continued success.

Keynote Speaker:
Ms Michele Poly-Brown ’89
Michele Poly-Brown, Class of 1989, is a graduate of the University
of Pennsylvania, receiving a B.A. degree in English. While at Bishop
Ready, Ms Poly-Brown was president of the National Honor Society her
senior year and captain of the volleyball, basketball, and track teams,
also in her senior year. At Penn, Ms Poly-Brown continued her athletic
activities, spending four years on the varsity track and field teams. She is
currently Manager of Donor Relations and Communications at
University Hospitals in Cleveland. She began her career as a news
producer/writer for television, working at stations in Columbus,
Chicago, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C. She transitioned from the
TV newsroom to marketing communications, working at John Carroll
University prior to joining University Hospitals.
Ms Poly-Brown is married to her college sweetheart Matthew; they
are the proud parents of two children, Calvin and Chloe, and reside in
Shaker Heights, Ohio.
The following are excerpts from her keynote address.
“Success doesn’t happen by luck or chance. There’s
always a story behind it, some struggle that was overcome.
Embrace the struggles that come your way; learn from
them, and be a better person for them.”
“I have high hopes for your class as I know your
teachers and families do. However, your challenge is
much greater than living up to our hopes, it will be living
up to your own. Expect more from yourself than others
think is possible and be the best your generation has to
offer this world.”
“My Catholic education instilled the value of service
in me and a sense that I should be making a difference in
the lives of others.”
“Over the past 20 years, there have been so many
challenges and unexpected struggles… And with every
challenge, I fall back on the values I learned from my
parents and my Catholic education here at Ready.”

Salutatorian, Class of 2009
“Ready has been a life-changing experience for me. I
came from public schools. I never felt as welcome at those
schools as I have here.
“When Ready says that it is preparing us for the
future, it’s not just educational experience that will help
us. The life lessons and maturity grown here will be a big
part of the coming years.
“Our class as a whole has accomplished academic
and athletic goals. We’ve had state finalists, regional semifinalists, district champions, CCL champions, national
merit scholars, and scholarships exceeding millions of
dollars in total offerings. Looking back on the past four
years at Ready is really a story of growth and success. I’m
sure that we have surprised ourselves, our peers, our
teachers, and some division one teams.
“To wrap this up, don’t ever let yourself think that
your time here at Bishop Ready was less than worthwhile.
Everyone here has achieved something that deserves
praise. What has happened here is going to change all of
our futures…”

Valedictorian, Class of 2009
“Our education…will serve as a foundation for
much of our lives. Bishop Ready has contributed to our
growth in the Catholic faith throughout our time here.
We have learned about it in our theology classes, and lived
it through our service projects.
“I call upon all of you who are graduating to look
upon your graduation as a milestone rather than an
ending. It is certainly true that your time here at Ready
has come to an end. However, your education in some
form will never come to an end…Today, we
commemorate this phase in our lives but we also
acknowledge that it is more importantly a transition.
“This transition is one of growth for all of us. We will
continue to grow in knowledge, our faith, and our maturity.
Our responsibilities will increase but so will our potential.
“Let us remember the potential that Bishop Ready
has given us, and let us look forward to our future… Our
faith must remain important to us, and we must allow
ourselves to be guided by it. Unless we maintain our
relationship with God, we cannot hope to succeed.”

Looking Back...
Looking Forward
Y
ou may have noticed, there has been a certain
theme that has emerged over the past several
issues of The Ready Report.
We’ve taken the opportunity, in looking forward to
our Golden Anniversary, to spotlight the various
components of a Bishop Ready education through our
Ready Report covers. The Ready student and alum has
had the opportunity to partake of a full educational
experience.
Our Spring 2007 sports cover highlighted the various
accomplishments of those who continued the Ready
sports experience in a collegiate and professional
environment.
The Fall 2007 arts cover showed the diversified talents
of our students and brought updates from alums who
have gone on to work professionally in art fields. It
focused on the correlation between the arts and service
to others.
The beloved Spring 2008 St. Michael Chapel cover led
to an article that explained the importance of our
Catholic heritage and the “Faith, Tradition, and Virtues”
that play such prominent roles at Bishop Ready.
Our previous issue spotlighted two Ready associates,
one a student and the other an alum, who are
passionate about helping others and the environment.
Both see a commitment to service as a viable and
honorable way to live.
In this issue, we look at theatre—at Bishop Ready and
as a component of a well-informed life.
In a future issue, we will spotlight the Band and how
it incorporates our feeder-schools into its programs and
the Liturgical Choir. If you would like to see another
aspect of Bishop Ready life highlighted, just let us know!
In these issues, we have also taken a stroll down
memory lane, with an emphasis on each decade of
Bishop Ready’s existence in each issue.
When the cornerstone was laid, when the building
was opened, when the first class graduated, who could
have foreseen: fax machines, several televisions (in
color/in HD) in each home, portable music in a devise
little larger than a credit card, the ubiquity of credit
cards, missions to a space station that are commonplace,
women in the workplace—in whatever career they
choose to pursue, an African-American president, handheld calculators, the fall of the Soviet Union, a Polish
Pope, portable/cordless/cell phones, the Internet,
20
microwave ovens, corresponding via e-mail or twitter or
texting, the failure of Pan Am or TWA, digital cameras,
hybrid cars, the demise of railroad travel, open-heart
surgery, personal computers, football overtaking
baseball as the nation’s sport, “casual” wear for work,
and a professional hockey team in Columbus.
As we look ahead, one has to wonder what the next
50 years will bring. Will the Jetsons’ lifestyle truly be
realized? Will we travel by individual jet pack? Will all
learning be done online? Gaze into your crystal ball and
let us know what you think the year 2060-61 will be like!
Just send your thoughts/hopes to us, either via regular
mail or e-mail, and we’ll “foretell the future” in an
upcoming issue. Send to: Michelle Kelly, The Ready
Report, Bishop Ready High School, 707 Salisbury Road,
Columbus, OH 43204 or mkelly@cdeducation.org.
We see a bright future for our
students and alums…
and a fun issue with your input!
21
The Challenge Continues…
Annual Fund
Challenge Grant
The Annual Fund Challenge Grant has been extended! With the continued generosity of our
“Challenger,” we are able to double the amount that you, our generous benefactors, give to us…up to a
total of $200,000. That means that for every dollar that you donate, your donation is doubled…so that
$50 becomes $100, $250 becomes $500, $15 becomes $30—until $200,000 becomes $400,000!
I don’t need to tell you that, in today’s economy, every dollar counts! Our students value their
education; nothing makes us prouder than hearing them talk about their years at Ready, whether at our
Open House for potential students, at Grandparents’ Day, in the hallways (when they think that no one is
listening!), or at Commencement.
Your dollars allow these students to continue their Catholic education at Bishop Ready when
unforeseen circumstances cause financial burdens in their families. Sometimes, it’s an unexpected illness in
the family; sometimes it’s a job loss. A death or a divorce not only can be emotionally wrenching but also
can have financial ramifications.
Trust me when I tell you that your generosity goes a long way to helping a student maintain a
semblance of order when disorder threatens!
Please give as generously as you can. If you can forego that “grande” latte or one evening at the
movies; if you can do without the pizza once a month or “save your change for Ready,” those sacrifices
on your part will make a tremendous difference in the lives of our students.
Catholic education is not free and many families struggle to insure that their children receive a Bishop
Ready education. We appreciate their commitment and we know that those families are very grateful when
we are able to provide some financial assistance, when needed.
Without your help, our task is that much more difficult. With your help, more students can benefit from
a Bishop Ready education.
As always, we keep you in our prayers and we sincerely appreciate your loyalty to Bishop Ready!
“Every charitable act is a stepping stone towards heaven.” —Henry Ward Beecher

fund, or would like to sponsor a student, please call Celene A. Seamen, principal, at 614-276-5263.

SIGNINGS:
READY GRAD / NFL PLAYER
HOLDS CAMP AT BRHS
Antoine Harris, Ready Class of 2000, was among the four NFL players who
participated in the first Antoine Harris Football Camp & Skills Clinic, held on the Ready
grounds on Saturday, July 18. The camp, sponsored by the NFL and Antoine Harris, was
broken into two sessions: for ages 8 to 13, from 9 to noon and for ages 14-17, from noon
to 3 p.m. Approximately 125 students from various levels took part in the camp,
including over 40 Bishop Ready students.
Mr. Harris, who is a safety for the Atlanta Falcons, was joined by fellow Falcons Brent
Grimes and Von Hutchins, and by Tennessee Titan Reynaldo Hill, cornerbacks all. Awards
and prizes, ranging from autographed jerseys and balls to cleats and gloves, were given
out, with almost every participant receiving something to remember the day by.
As Athletic Director Ralph Locke noted: “It was a great success. Kids will be smiling
for months and the NFL players probably had more fun than the kids!”
Mr. Harris hopes to return and make this camp an annual event. While the camp was
free of charge, a donation was accepted for the Foundation for Diabetes.
Brianna Gatley, Samantha Macioce, and Amanda Barch, all Class of 2009,
at their signing ceremony with principal Celene A. Seamen and athletic
director Ralph C. Locke III. Brianna and Samantha will be playing softball
at Wheeling Jesuit University and Amanda will be playing soccer at
Youngstown State University.

NEWS
The Detroit Free Press staff, notably Jim Schaefer (’82),
received the Pulitzer Prize for uncovering a pattern of lies by
Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, prompting an investigation of
perjury that eventually led to jail terms for two officials.
(See separate story in this issue on page 10.)
■ Anna Shailer (’02) received a master’s degree in French
literature from Indiana University on May 9, 2009. She
remains at IU as an associate instructor in French, pursuing her
Ph.D. Anna received a B.A. degree from Wittenberg
University in 2006 in French and International Relations.
■ Kelly Sandberg (’02) graduated from Bowling Green State
University in 2006 with a B.S. degree in Criminal Justice.
She recently joined the Franklin County Coroner’s Office as a
forensic investigator.
■
John Burkley, ’69, was Bishop Ready’s second Joyce Scholar.
He graduated from the University of Notre Dame in ’73,
summa cum laude, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in the
General Program of Liberal Studies and was a member of Phi
Beta Kappa. John then received his law degree, cum laude,
from the University of Michigan Law School in ’76.
Following six years of private practice in Columbus, John
then served for 13 years as in-house Assistant General
Counsel with OCLC Online Computer Library Center, a nonprofit, tax-exempt computer database company in Dublin,
OH. From there, John joined MasterCard where he has been
an in-house lawyer for the company in St. Louis, Singapore,
and currently in Westchester County, NY.
John and his wife, Nancy, are the proud parents of
daughter Julia and they happily share their home with Kiki, a
Welsh springer spaniel. John still plays guitar and is teaching
guitar to Julia, who also plays violin and piano.
In John’s words: “I am the world’s most fanatic Notre Dame
fan, love rooting for Michigan against Ohio State, but
otherwise remember growing up a fan of the Buckeyes, who
still rate a close third to the Blue. I’m looking forward to our
40th anniversary reunion this year…with as many of our
teachers as can come.”

BISHOP READY REUNION
Classes of 1968 and 1969
Mark your calendars for this year’s class reunion
Saturday, October 3, 2009, 7:00 p.m.
The reunion committee has reserved for our private use the Ohio State University Golf
Club for this year’s get together. The setting is extremely relaxed and offers stunning
views of this historic course from the outdoor balcony patios, MacKenzie’s pub and the
comfortable restaurant. This cozy, unique venue begs for a party and will stimulate
entertaining conversations as you sip drinks overlooking this beautiful setting. We’re
into making this event stress-free for everyone so we’ve thumbed down a formal dinner
for trays of tasty appetizers and a cash bar for a reasonable cost of $25 per person.
And for those who would like to try their game out on the Scarlet or Gray Course we’ve
even arranged that! If you’re interested in playing golf Saturday afternoon before the
reunion, e-mail Mike O’Grady for golf reservations at: mike@k-olaw
The cost of a round is $70 if you’re walking. Add $17 for cart rental. A deposit is not
required for golf but we do want to know if you intend to play as tee times are at a
premium. You will pay when you arrive.
If you have questions, contact any of us via e-mail and check out the
reunion website at: www.ready68and69reunion.myevent.com

See you in October!
