The growing costs of maintaining a top grade institution, combined
with the very significant need for financial aid by so many of our
students, underscores the importance of our Annual Fund. I am most
grateful for your charitable support of our mission … to become
Men for Others.
Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends of Fairfield Prep,
T
he “Grad at Grad” is a central concept that
inspires our daily life at Prep. It refers to The
Graduate at Graduation, and what we, as a
Jesuit school, aim to create in our graduates.
Cura personalis, “care for the whole person,” is a central
goal of our Ignatian pedagogy. The characteristics of a
Fairfield Prep graduate include being open to growth,
intellectually competent, religious, loving and committed
to doing justice. This “whole person” aspiration is cleverly
illustrated on our magazine cover with a new poster,
which is also hung in classrooms and offices at Prep. This
project, directed by Academic Dean Dr. Donna Andrade,
is meant to remind us daily of our multi-faceted goals as
students, faculty and staff.
Throughout this issue, you will read articulate
reflections and speeches by both our teachers and
students, revealing their daily work and actions to
produce the ultimate “Grad at Grad.” You will also learn
about Alumni who demonstrate their leadership with
dedicated careers and community service projects. I think
you will be quite edified in reading how they continue the
important Jesuit traditions in their daily lives. I would like
to invite you, therefore, to nominate an exemplary Prep
Alumnus for our annual St. Ignatius of Loyola Alumni
Award (read description below). The online nomination
form for this award will be available on our website
during the month of March, and the award recipient
will be honored at the annual Mass of the Holy Spirit in
September.
You will also see highlights of our vibrant school
community, busy with academic achievement,
involvement in the arts and co-curricular activities, and
strong performance by our dynamic Prep sports teams,
who apply the inspiration of Men for Others to build
brotherhood and reach for athletic triumph.
Our Annual Report 2010-11 shows the reality of the
size of our budget and the generous donations by our
benefactors. The growing costs of maintaining a top grade
institution, combined with the very significant need for
financial aid by so many of our students, underscores
the importance of our Annual Fund. Fairfield Prep strives
to keep a Jesuit education financially attainable by our
students. I am most grateful for your charitable support of
our mission, which provides us the means to continue to
educate our boys to become Men for Others. You are indeed
investing in our future graduates, who will receive the
important moral foundation to shape our ever-changing
world.
May you and your loved ones enjoy a peaceful and
happy 2012, filled with God’s blessings!
Rev. John J. Hanwell, S.J.
President

A Jesuit, Catholic School of Excellence
On the Cover: All Jesuit high schools throughout the nation
share a common philosophy, common goals, and common
vocabulary which defines the ministry of Jesuit secondary
education in the United States as articulated in The Profile of
the Graduate-at-Graduation. Jesuit education is, has been, and
always will be focused on whole person education: mind, spirit,
and body. Jesuit schools accomplish this through cura personalis
(personalized care and concern for the individual) and through
a holistic curriculum. Thus, Jesuit education aims to graduate
students who possess the desire and the personal resources
to be “men and women for and with others.” The poster shown
here is a visual representation of The Profile of the Graduateat-Graduation. This poster was designed by Dr. Donna Andrade,
Academic Dean, who adapted it from a similar poster created by
DeSmet Jesuit High School in St. Louis. Dr. Andrade collaborated
with graphic design consultant, Margaret Galeano, of gr8pg.com
(Great Page), and Colleen Adams, Director of Communications
at Prep, to execute this project. This poster hangs in all Prep
classrooms to remind students and teachers of Fairfield Prep’s
mission. Special thanks to our models, pictured from left: Dean
Duffy ’11, Tony Fox ’14 and Matt Connelly ’12. Thanks also to Ray
Boudiette ’12, hockey model.

Becoming the
Grad at Grad
Taken from a speech given to the incoming Senior Class of 2012 at
Senior Orientation Retreat, August 24, 2011
I
was first exposed to the Graduate at Graduation when I
was fourteen years old. It was my first day as a freshman at
Boston College High School in Dorchester, Massachusetts.
I remember a biology teacher at BC High, Mr. John Sullivan,
talking about these concepts: open to growth; intellectually
competent; religious; loving; and committed to doing justice. To
be honest, they all were just words to me. I was starting a new
school, I had soccer practice that day, and my fourteen-year-old
mind was telling me that this was not very important.
Fast forward four years later. At the BC High Senior Awards
Night I received an award for — shocking as it may seem —
Calculus. As the night drew to a close, I noticed an award was
going to be given to a senior who “best exemplified the ideals of
the Graduate at Graduation.” I began to think of the many guys
who I had spent the last four years with who were deserving of
this award. When I heard my name announced as the recipient
of the award, I was shocked. At BC High I had been taught the
ideals of the Grad at Grad, but never once had I gone out and
done something because it was religious, or because it was
loving, or because it made me intellectually competent. I just
did what felt right. I began to realize that the education and
experiences that the school had provided me, as well as the
teachers and the friends I had made there, all influenced the
decisions I had made in my life...
When my guidance counselor encouraged me to develop
a passion I had for writing and to meet students who were
not normally math-focused, she gave me the opportunity to
become open to growth. When my physics teacher made me
solve so many problems that I didn’t care how far that stupid
rocket flew, but I ended up scoring a 5 on the AP Exam, he gave
me the opportunity to become intellectually competent. When
my theology teacher challenged our class to write reflections
on the weekly gospels to encourage us to think more critically
2
Prep Today
and reflectively about our faith, he gave us the opportunity to
become religious. When my friend called me because he had
gotten into trouble and his parents had kicked him out of his
house, he gave me the opportunity to become loving. When the
campus minister encouraged me to tutor at the local Boston
public middle schools, he gave me the opportunity to become
committed to doing justice.
As Prep students, you act out the five ideals through your
community service and other requirements. But to truly call
yourself a Prep grad you need to live out these ideals without
thinking about them — to become a “Man for Others.” Take some
time each day and say a quick hi to someone in the hall and
have a conversation with them. Put in an extra fifteen minutes
of study and feel more confident going into that quiz. Hold
a door open for someone. Make the moral choice in a tough
situation. If you start with small actions every day and take
advantage of the opportunities that you have, you will turn into
a person who best exemplifies a Prep Graduate at Graduation.
I want to leave you with two challenges:
Number One: Take a few minutes each night, whether it’s
when you are driving home from school or before you go to bed,
and think about the things you did during your day …these do
not have to be heroic acts, but acts that were genuine actions …
it is my hope that by taking the time to acknowledge these acts
they will become part of your daily routine.
Number Two: Give each other the opportunity to become
open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving,
or committed to doing justice. Have a conversation with an
acquaintance or a friend, and allow him the opportunity to hear
your story so he can appreciate the uniqueness we all have
and become more open to growth. Invite some guys that are
struggling into your study groups to give them an opportunity
to become intellectually competent. Grab a friend and head
to morning mass to give him an opportunity to become more
religious. When you get knocked down, allow a friend the
opportunity to love and pick you back up. Grab a few friends and
do that community service event you’ve always wanted to do,
and give each other the opportunity to become committed to
doing justice. As Prep brothers, opportunity is a great gift we can
give to one another.
This senior year will bring about tremendous change in your
life. As you journey through your final year on campus together
as Prep brothers, think about the ideals of the Grad at Grad often.
You know what they are, but the question is — how well will you
live them? I wish you nothing but the best for your senior year,
and I hope that you all continue to go forth and set
the world on fire.
By Tim Dee, Math Teacher, Soccer and Basketball Coach
A great place to teach, learn, and stay forever
I
am amazed by the energy and the excellence of the boys
I’ve taught here for 32 years. I really enjoy long-lost voices
who take the time to email me about their lives. Most are
married and have boys who are dreaming of coming to Prep.
The Jesuits have a simple description for this cycle of
spirit, dedication and achievement. It is called Cura Personalis,
meaning we care about the whole person. There are many
things in our formation that go beyond the extraordinary
academics we offer. We reach into the soul. We challenge
them to go beyond the safe and the obvious with community
work and world-wide involvement. We launch them on an
intellectual, moral and compassionate adventure as Prep
graduates. Sure, it’s a tall order, but I am hardly exaggerating
the results I see.
I couldn’t name the thousands of boys whom I have
taught; each remains special for me. But I want to mention a
few with no less affection for the others.
I still think of Damian Long ’94 as the best student I ever
taught. Damian was busy writing novels and plays during
his sophomore year. I let him take over the teaching of Moby
Dick, because he seemed to know that complex allegorical
novel better than I did. Such students are a rare gift that
enrich the classroom. All three Long brothers were bitten by
the theater bug.
Another outstanding boy I had in my creative writing
class was crazy about the idea of becoming a writer. Jeff
Davis ’93 was one of the most self-directed kids I ever met. I
couldn’t keep up reading all that he wrote — blood splashed
stories specializing in gory murder cases. What a fiendish
imagination! But it served him well as he became the creator,
producer and chief writer for “Criminal Minds,” the smash TV
hit which features a group of criminologists hunting down
serial killers. When he emailed me to thank me years later I
was as proud as his father.
My most cherished note came from a young man who
wasn’t an academic star, but in many ways he represented
the kind of boy who is the heart and soul of Prep. Pete Patton
’90 was a disciplined and serious student who wanted to
make the best of his Prep education. I watched as he took a
rough talent and through hard work and dedication improved
enormously. This is a small excerpt of Peter’s email. “The
Ignatian vision and the Prep way didn’t hit me until I left and
entered college. Again, I never led the league in GPA, but it
was the lessons imparted underneath that stone cross that
gave me the belief that I could compete.” Pete is a writer
and research specialist working for the New York Police
Department.
The last boy I will mention is featured on this edition’s
cover. Dean Duffy ’11 is on the left morphing from athlete
to chemistry student to a blue-jean-clad social activist on a
mission trip. I was impressed with his energy on the sports
field, his dedication to studies and his participation in the
greater life of the school.
Guys like Dean Duffy come to us already formed from
great families, churches and communities but it is their
openness to continued growth that makes them so easy
to teach and so much a part of the Jesuit vision. I liked
Dean immediately but grew to admire him as I watched his
strength and courage dealing with his mother’s illness and
death last year. I saw the other boys rally around him, too.
What a great place to teach! What a great place to be a
student! It’s not a cliché to say that we are all Prepsters for
life. The many faces and voices of Prep are one. If I knew high
school could be this good, I might have stayed in it forever;
come to think of it, I have…

Cross Country Jesuits Become…

Individual Awards
he 2010 season was a good one for Prep Cross Country,
but with only a fourth place finish in Connecticut, it was
not what it could have been. When the two of us (Patrick
Corona, and Michael Whelan) first found out that we would be
captains alongside seniors Billy Schloth and Connor Rog, we
promised ourselves that Prep would be first in the state this
time around. It was hard not to be optimistic. In the preseason
coaches’ poll, the Jesuits were ranked above everyone else.
Unfortunately, this also put a target on our backs from day one.
With a state championship as our goal, the bar was set high and
the competition knew it. Connor Rog led the pack, but to win, we
needed all of our top five runners to race their best.

We learned this the hard way at the Bethel Invitational, an
early-season race that we were supposed to dominate. Only a
couple guys in that top five didn’t do well, and we placed third.
This was a blow to our confidence, and was closely followed
by an even worse dilemma. Billy Schloth, one of our fellow
captains, developed a knee injury that sidelined him for the
rest of the season. Billy was All-SCC as a junior and his absence
hurt the team greatly. Without him, the pack behind Connor
suddenly became weaker. We needed someone to fill Billy’s
shoes, and sophomore Christian Alvarado did just that.
In the summer, Coaches Bob Ford, Jr. and Bob Ford, Sr.,
had hoped that Christian would be varsity after a successful
freshman year. But nobody could have expected the
tremendous leaps and bounds he made, not even the coaches.
Christian emerged as one of the top three runners on the team
and kept improving as the season progressed, finishing all-state.
But even with Chris in Billy’s place, we
still needed that critical fifth man in
order to round out the team. Scott Ball
(pictured left) claimed that spot and
proved to be the difference maker for
us. His times improved as much as 30
seconds, which gave us a lower team
score, and resulted in a state title.
Seniors Patrick Corona and Michael
Whelan also had great championship
seasons, posting many personal best times, and continuing
their rivalry for key places in the front pack.
Finally, Connor Rog led our team the entire season, wire
to wire, going undefeated in Connecticut finishing in first by
a landslide at the State Open. He had an unbelievable season
which ended with a trip to San Diego for the Footlocker
National Championships where he placed 18th in the nation.
FPXC finished 1st in the state in convincing fashion with
a 41 point win over rival Xavier. All of the success that we
experienced was the result of unceasing team effort and
inspiring coaching. Each and every varsity runner was crucial,
whether it was Connor Rog finishing 1st in the state, or
Scott Ball rounding out the team score as the 5th man. In an
undisputable fashion, our team persevered through adversity,
and proved to everyone that we were true State Champions.

Admissions Excitement
Hundreds of prospective students and their families attended the Open House held on October 2 to learn about
Fairfield Prep’s many offerings. Here are some reactions from prospective students and parents.
Excerpts from the Applicants:
I
O
went onto YouTube to check out some of the highlight videos from the sports
teams, and it’s very impressive.
n my shadow day three weeks ago, I noticed that the teachers don’t baby
the students; they push them to the best that they can be. I really enjoyed
the learning environment at Prep. It seemed challenging and there was total
class participation. I also noticed on my shadow day, that there were students
from all different backgrounds and everyone got along with each other which I
really enjoyed. Many teachers began their classes with a prayer, which I think
is a great idea. The combination of education and spiritual growth will prepare
me for challenges in the years to come. I look forward to wearing my Jesuit
Cap with honor beginning next fall.
I
watched your video and I asked many of your students about Fairfield Prep
and they told me your education and curriculum is very challenging. From my
previous experiences, elementary school and middle school were a breeze. I
am looking for a challenge so I can find out where my natural talents are.
O
ut of the many things that I heard and saw at the Open House, one thing
kept reappearing. Everyone was talking about the bonds that people build
at the Prep, and when I heard about this I was very excited. Visiting the school
during my Shadow Day only reinforced this idea. Friendship is a very important
thing for me and I could see it radiating out of this school.
Excerpts from the Parents:
I
n addition to the strong academic and sports programs, we are particularly
impressed by Fairfield Prep’s four-year community service program. We
believe that this will help to develop our son into a compassionate young man.
While our local public high school does have a program of community service,
it does not match the depth and breadth of the Fairfield Prep offering.
W
e toured the campus and spoke to a number of faculty members. Our
experience began with a lasting impression made by the students. They
were all well mannered and informed about the specific subject or activity
that they volunteered to present. They also appeared to have a genuine
enthusiasm for their school. The faculty members that we spoke to were
knowledgeable and seemed to have a strong connection with the students. I
believe this successful partnership between students and faculty creates a rich
environment for students to succeed academically.
G
od comes first and it is hard to raise a God-fearing young man in today’s
world, especially during the high school years. The fact that Fairfield
Prep has a strong curriculum and also strengthens the relationship students
have with God is just remarkable. Another part of your mission statement that
stood out to us was where it speaks about challenging its students to live as
men of conscience, compassion and action. Climbing the corporate ladder
means nothing if you have to step on everyone’s toes in order to be successful.
We want our son to be successful in life and be a good, positive contributor
to society and we know Fairfield Prep will work hand and hand with us in
preparing our son for college and life.
M
en for Others — I was first introduced to this Jesuit concept at [my
Jesuit high school] and it has played an instrumental role in my life ever
since. In both my personal and professional life this mindset has been my moral
compass; a gift from the Jesuits at [my Jesuit high school] and [my Jesuit
college] who provided me with the tools to make the right choices in life. Simply
stated, I want my son to be exposed to the same quality education and life
teachings as I received as a young man. The positive impact the Jesuits have
had on my life has been and continues to be invaluable.

An Olympic-Sized Welcome for Freshmen
F
or the past two years,
the Office of Student
Activities has sponsored
the Freshman Olympics at
Freshman Orientation days.
Activities include: Tug of War;
Home Run Derby; Basketball
Foul Shooting; and Dodge Ball.
This experience has afforded
Fairfield Prep’s newest students
an opportunity to bond with
each other and experience the Prep community. Freshmen also
meet their homeroom teacher, get their class schedule and
their locker.
The Campus Ministry Office also sees this as an opportunity
for the upperclassmen who will lead both Freshman Rally Day
(in October) and the Freshman Retreat (in March) to get to know
the freshman class.
Six years ago, Rally Day began as an effort to introduce retreat
leaders to the freshmen in small groups. This day includes prayer,
conversation and games including Capture the Flag on Grauert
Field. All of these activities help our freshmen get acclimated
to Prep and get them acquainted with the upperclassmen who
will be there to help them along the way like big brothers. These
events have been extremely well received and we
intend to continue them into the future.

elow you will find reflections written by two of our students who have recently attended
one of our newest trips and one of our oldest trips. The Ignatian Family Teach-In is a
conference open to Jesuit high schools and universities throughout the world that Prep has
participated in for many years. This conference, which moved from Columbus, GA to Washington,
D.C. in 2010, focuses on social justice issues nationwide and worldwide.
Our trip to Jamaica, which ran for the third time in July, 2011, is another opportunity that we
offer our students each year. Students who attend this trip stay on the outskirts of Montego Bay,
Jamaica with the Mustard Seed Communities and help out in the local orphanages. Mustard Seed
Communities began in 1978 and have grown throughout Jamaica. Please contact me
if you would like to learn more about Prep’s Christian Service opportunities.

Teach-In
Washington, D.C

.
2011
would like to start off by
explaining that the Teach-In
is an annual Jesuit conference
promoting social justice. This year’s
Teach-In theme, from Jesuit Fr. Peter
Kolvenbach, S.J.’s, 2000 Santa Clara
address, was “Gritty Reality.” He said,
“Students, in the course of their
formation, must let the gritty reality
of this world into their lives so they
can learn to feel it, think about it
critically, respond to its suffering
and engage it constructively.” What
does gritty reality mean? It is the low depths in society where we
would not normally go. Where injustice is present and the poor
are oppressed. It is a place where people do not have the same
benefits we do. We may not even be aware that it can be found
right around the corner.
Through my days at the Teach-In I learned to go through
those three steps — of feeling it, thinking about it, and engaging
in it. To feel the presence of the gritty reality — not to ignore
it. To think about it and to contemplate how you can help. And
lastly to engage in it constructively — and make a difference in
those places. To step out of your comfort zone to help others and
bring justice for the greater good. Even the slightest help can
bring change.
I challenge you to go into your local communities and see
if there is any “grit” in the area. Try to feel it, think about it,
and engage in it. Our Prep community provides us with many
opportunities to go out into the gritty realities of the world and
make a difference. Some students have really accomplished
this through service and mission trips such as Urban Plunge,
Appalachia, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Jamaica. But for those
who have yet to experience any of these, I urge you to go and
to see for yourself. I myself take up this challenge in my local
community of Bridgeport and make a step towards wiping out
the grit of the community. One conference speaker said, “Direct
experience will be able to change a person’s mind.” This is true.
Without literally going out into these places you
will never know the gritty reality of today’s society.

2011
F
airfield Prep’s service
trip to the Mustard
Seed Community at
Blessed Assurance in Montego
Bay, Jamaica is one that I
will definitely never forget.
Writing this reflection on the
plane ride home, I feel like a
changed person. Having been
to Jamaica once before, I was
aware of the extreme poverty
and the rough conditions. Now
I have a better understanding
of what it means to live in
those conditions and am very
proud to say that I experienced
Jamaica in a way that no
vacation can deliver.
A typical day at Blessed
Assurance begins around 6:30
am with 20 minutes to shower
and get dressed. The group
then heads down to breakfast
where a prayer is said before
we consume the delicious food
cooked by the chefs of the
Mustard Seed Community.
Around 8:15 am we head
to the gazebo where the
disabled children are waiting.
Devotions soon begin with an
announcement by one of the
caregivers and then we begin
to sing, dance, and clap to
praise the Lord. Worship ends
with a Bible reading, a prayer,
and thanks for another day.
Work varies at Blessed
Assurance depending on the
need. My group was assigned
to paint and landscape. Each
day groups of six would
alternate assignments. We
were asked to landscape
the trenches. We cleared an
immense amount of weeds
so the draining system could
handle the common short and
hard rainstorms that occur.
We also painted many of the
buildings at Blessed Assurance
to upgrade their appearance.
Around 12:15 pm we gather
again in the gazebo for more
devotions. From there we eat
lunch, help feed the children
and rest before the next work
shift.
At 2 pm we put in another
two hours and then clean up
our sites. Being very hot and
tired, we head to our cabin to
rest, shower and change. Most
of our clothes are donated to
the project, so we leave with a
lot less than we arrived with.
Around 6 pm we pray and
eat dinner which is very good.
Typically there is rice, beef,
chicken and plantains. The
cooks do a good job.
The rest of the night is
usually spent with the children
playing games, reading to
them, taking them on walks,
feeding them and helping
the nurses with whatever
they need. This time can also
be spent relaxing, napping,
throwing the Frisbee around,
or just “kickin’ it” as the
Jamaicans say.
As it starts to get dark, we
settle down and reflect on the
day. Reflections usually last
from 30 to 45 minutes and
each student is given a chance
to talk about the day or share
his feelings with the group.
We sing songs and pray during
this time as well.
By 10 pm lights are out
and everyone is usually sound
asleep. The boys sleep in a
room full of bunk beds where
the sleeping conditions are
decent.
One of our days was spent
at Widow’s Mite, another
Mustard Seed community,
approximately a two-hour
drive away. The last day was
spent at a beautiful beach
where we swam and played
games the whole day. A good
amount of time is spent
driving around and it is very
interesting to see the Jamaican
countryside. Overall, our time
in Jamaica was very rewarding
and filled with laughter.

White, healthy hands,
That feed,
That clap,
That hold and care for,
That pull fierce weeds,
And paint boards and eaves,
Reaching for water in thirst,
Held upward, outstretched,
Heavenward.
Black hands, gnarled,
Clutched and pressed like
Thick vines against little chests
Waving, grasping
Covered in drool and cornmeal,
But just as much,
Held upward, outstretched
Even touching heaven
And earth —
God’s delight.

Tony Fox ’14 Shares an Attitude of Gratitude
Taken from a speech by Tony Fox ’14, a S.E.E.D. financial aid recipient,
given at the President’s Dinner which is held annually to honor Prep
benefactors who contribute $2,500 or more annually.
M
y name is Tony Fox and I am currently a sophomore
at Fairfield Prep. I am from Bridgeport, Connecticut
and I am currently a member of the MSG Varsity club,
stock market club, the Varsity football team, S.E.E.D., and Student
Government officer for the sophomore class. Ultimately, my goal
is to study biochemistry at Georgia Tech after I graduate Prep.
Let me start by telling you why I chose to attend Fairfield
Prep. One thing that every freshman does at Prep is participate
in the Freshmen Field Day. During this day, we host a younger
child from one of the inner city Catholic grammar schools in
Bridgeport. We take part in games, take pictures and have lunch
with the child we host. Well, I was one of those students who
came to Prep when I was in the 3rd grade at St. Augustine’s
School in 2006. This was my first experience with Prep. I
remember pulling into Prep, thinking that I was entering a
castle. Everyone was smiling and seemed so welcoming and
happy at Prep. Even though I was too young to realize it then,
I had experienced what I would come to know as the Prep
Brotherhood. I saw people of all colors and races together
happily working as one. Once you are a member of the Prep
family, your Prep brothers have your back. Knowing that the
person sitting next to me, behind me, or in front of me is looking
out for me, is a great feeling to have. Ever since I experienced
Freshman Field Day as a 3rd grader, my mind was focused on
going to Prep.
Once I was accepted to Fairfield Prep, I made sure that I took
advantage of the many opportunities that arise for the students.
Prep offers a wide range of clubs, teams, and social and diversity
aspects. In addition to this, Prep offers a few other things that I
cherish: a great education, moral values, and everyday skills that
I will need toward my next step in life.
One of the major programs at Prep that I am a part of is
S.E.E.D. which stands for “Students for Educational Excellence
through Diversity.” Diversity is not only defined by one’s race,
but also by religious, geographical and socio-economic diversity.
Therefore, it is because of you that I am here at Prep. One in
four freshmen at Prep… would not be here if it were not for the
generosity of all of you. My mom is a single mother with limited
income, who would never be able to send me to this school by
herself. I thank you on our behalf.
Finally, let me tell you about the ways in which Fairfield Prep
has challenged and encouraged me to grow. One of the things
that Prep teaches its students is the Jesuit mission and motto,
“Being a man for others.” …Being a man for others starts by
becoming a leader; another value that Prep teaches. Fairfield
Prep allows and wants each young man to go through his high
school career being a leader in the classroom, on the field, and in
his own communities. Being a man for others challenges each of
us to not give into peer pressure; this concept challenges us to be
leaders, not followers.
Fairfield Prep has also challenged me to excel both in and
outside of the classroom. The Prep staff and coaches… challenge
and push us to reach our full potential on and off the field.
Portia Fox with her son Tony Fox ’14 and Fr. Jack Hanwell, S.J.
Nothing is handed to you at Prep without working hard and
overcoming obstacles, doing the magis, doing the more in your
life. On the football field or in any sport, our coaches look to see
who will be that person to step up and do something or make
something happen. The Prep faculty is willing to do what it
takes to help me be successful. I am not ashamed to say that
math challenges me … staying afterschool or coming into school
early for extra help, has helped me to stay on top of my studies.
Lastly, and most importantly, my spiritual life has greatly
developed. Having a theology class everyday helps me to be
more aware of God and how blessed I am in life, how blessed I
am to be at Prep. I did nothing to deserve this life that I have,
just as a child in Pakistan did nothing to deserve life in fear from
war. Therefore, I am blessed and Prep helps all of its students to
realize this. We are the future; those leaders that Fairfield Prep
produces. We will and want to be those men making the right
decisions for ourselves, for others, and for our communities.
Every student comes into Fairfield Prep as a boy. Then Prep
molds and shapes its students in the traditions of the Jesuit
mission, and teaches us to develop a social conscience, to live
morally and ethically, and to be a man for others.
It Takes a Community of Brotherhood
For these gifts and for many other things, I give thanks.
First, to my mother, who also inspires me and who is behind
me one hundred percent, my love and thanks for your support
in encouraging me… I thank you because you have realized
that as a single mother, even with all you have given me, that
you simply cannot provide all that I need to grow into the best
young man I can be. You understand that it takes a community
of brotherhood — something that you cannot give me. A lot of
single mothers don’t get that! But you do! I love you for that!
Second, I give thanks to all of you. I am fortunate to stand before
you today, a product of your generosity. Through all of you, I
have been indirectly placed into the spirit of “Paying It Forward.”
I, too, hope to sit where you are sitting one day and reflect on
my own past while listening to a well-groomed, soul-shaped and
inspired young man for others, like myself. Lastly, I thank you,
Father Hanwell, for affording me the opportunity to express the
impact that Prep has made on my life.

A Thrilling End to a Dramatic Crew Season
P
rep Crew began the 2011 Fall
season with high hopes and great
energy. Crews across the spectrum
from Varsity to Novice medaled and
signaled that the 2012 spring will be
one filled with success.
The Tail of the Fish regatta in
Saratoga Springs, NY, was a great
success as the V8 placed 3rd overall
and first among schools. The JV8
was second and first among schools.
Two novice 8’s placed 3rd and 4th
beating out perennial powerhouse
Chaminade in the Novice 8 event.
At the Head of the Housatonic the
Novice 8 had fine showings finishing
7th and 12th out of 21 crews. V8 held
their position from last year’s race
finishing 10th out of 37 other crews.
The JV8 A, B and C boats all raced
with vigor letting all the other crews
know that they were a force to be
reckoned with.
A freak October snowstorm
was not enough to stop Prep Crew
from attempting to get to the Head
of the Fish in Saratoga Springs,
NY. A handful of hearty men and
their dedicated parents managed
to navigate the storm and reach
the regatta. In a true display of
leadership, members such as Captain
Dan Boyle ’12, Michael Osborne
’12, Joe Grosso ’13, Nick Martucci
’13 and a slew of Novice rowers
borrowed boats and raced for their
missing teammates in a show of
fidelity and pride.
The team traveled to Philadelphia
for a weekend of racing November
12-13. First timers at the Philly
Frostbite regatta proved to be a
charm for the V8 as they finished 1st
and took Prep’s first-ever medals
at the event. The next day saw
even more success as the team
raced in the late season favorite Bill
Braxton Memorial Regatta. The V8
made the semi-finals. Coming back
from a rough row the day before,
the JV8 blew away the field with a
commanding win and set the bar
high for the rest of the team. The 2nd
and 3rd JV boats had a fine showing
placing 3rd and 5th respectively.
Novice boats raced extremely well
with the 1st 8 finishing 3rd and the
2nd 8 destroying the competition
in their race finishing 1st nearly 10
seconds ahead of the 2nd place boat.
A fantastic end to a dramatic
season left the team hungry to get
back on the racecourse in the spring.
The team will hold open tryouts in
March and will look to set a course
for the future. Go Prep!
Football Shows Grit and Growth
T
he 2011 Prep football team made
great improvements in the recent
season posting a 5-5 record. After a
tough start on the road, at the alwaystough Hand of Madison Tigers, Prep
took a two hour trip and rallied to beat
Griswold in the rain 20-14. Prep then
won the four of five at home, featuring
a thrilling 39-32 come-from-behind
victory over Amity. Prep could not
catch lightning in a bottle when they
hit the road again, but excitedly rallied
from a 20-0 deficit, only to lose a close
one to Shelton 20-13. Thanksgiving
was a thriller for a crowd of nearly
3,000 fans who saw Prep lose a heartbreaker to arch-rival West Haven,
42-39. What a difference an on-side
kick makes!
Senior quarterback Tom Brewster
led the team with nearly 800 passing
yards and 650 yards rushing. He
threw for 7 TDs, but perhaps the
most important completion was on
3-25 to Senior Charlie Keady for a
first down with a minute to go on the
winning drive against Griswold for
14
Prep Today
our first victory. Tom himself broke
six tackles on a scintillating TD run
of 65 yards in the same game. Junior
Dillon Ryan stepped in at running
back, after an injury to junior Joe
McBride and rushed for nearly 700
yards in just 5 games. Senior Mike
Niche made a huge contribution on
Thanksgiving when he caught two
77 yard TD passes from Brewster
on successive series. The offensive
line, led by seniors: Co-Captain Serge
Jean-Baptiste, Connor Cunningham,
Joe Herlihy and Pat Sheeran enabled
Prep to rush for over 200 yards per
game. Senior Conor Barr kept Prep’s
special teams dangerous, highlighted
by an electric 60 yard punt return
against Amity.
Co-Captains Shane Dempsey,
Justin Haley and Michael Seelye and
senior Colin Morris led the defense.
Senior Mike Trotta led the team in
tackles and, along with Sophomore
Nick Crowle, each returned
interceptions for touchdowns.
At the annual awards ceremony,
Tom Brewster was presented
with the Mark Massiello award
for the best offensive player
and Mike Trotta earned the Fr.
Eugene Brissette, S.J., award for
the best defensive player. Shane
Dempsey earned the Chris Boyle
Memorial Coaches Award for
his perseverance, loyalty and
determination and Joe Herlihy
was recognized as the team’s most
improved player.
Post season honors went to
Xavier Frey ’12, who played tight
end, H-back, defensive tackle
and end and punter. He made the
All-SCC team as the punter joining
Serge Jean-Baptiste who made AllSCC as an offensive lineman and
also made the Coaches All-State
team in Class LL.
After great improvement and
five hard-earned victories, the offseason weightlifting is in full swing
and next year’s team is already
preparing hard for the future.
2011 Team Makes Soccer History
P
rep’s 2011 Varsity Soccer Team
made history this past fall,
becoming the first Prep soccer
team to finish the regular season
undefeated and finished with a 14-1-7
record. En route to capturing their
second Quinnipiac Division title in as
many years under Coach Ryan Lyddy
’93, the Jesuits also were crowned as
the Southern Connecticut Conference
Champions and advanced to the
Quarterfinals in the State Tournament
before falling to eventual state
champion Pomperaug 1-0.
Prep battled through the regular
season with a 9-0-7. The Jesuits,
lead by Co-Captains Will Steiner ’13
and Mike Matera ’12 started off the
year with a strong 1-0 victory over
Cheshire with a goal from Kieran
Bracken ’13. Playing most of the
season without Co-Captain Davie
Bruton ’13, the Jesuits gained strong
victories over Notre Dame WH,
Xavier, Shelton, and North Haven lead
by the midfield presence of Matera
and Robbie MacKay ’12 and the
electrifying play of forwards Steve
Tortora ’14, Austin Sims ’14, and Jack
Grella ’12. In the SCC Tournament,
Prep drew the second seed, went on
to defeat Shelton 2-0 and Guilford 3-0,
earning them a date with the Green
Knights of Notre Dame WH in the
finals. Late in the second half, Bruton
nailed a left footer off the inside post
to win the game for the Jesuits 1-0.
Prep drew the ninth seed in the state
tournament and defeated Crosby 2-0
in the first round before traveling to
defeat Newtown in a penalty kick
shootout after a scoreless regulation
period. Grella stepped into goal
after Steiner was injured during the
second overtime period and stopped
3 penalty kicks in what was one of
the greatest moments in recent Prep
soccer history.
Prep’s defensive effort was what
kept them going all season. Steiner
anchored a group led by Pat Connolly
’13, Tim Frassetto ’13, Darragh Kelly
’14, Joe Cullina ’12 and Tim Hagan ’12
that allowed only six goals in twenty
one games.
As a result of their strong effort
and success on the field during the
season, Matera, Sims, and Steiner
were named to the All-SCC Team and
Connecticut Post All-Star Team. Sims
and Steiner were also named to the
New Haven Register All-Star Team.
Connolly and Ryan Orvis ’13 were
awarded with Coach’s Awards for the
season, Grella was named the team’s
most improved player, and along with
being named the team’s MVP, Steiner
was also selected to the Connecticut
All-State team, following in the
footsteps of his brother, Brendan
Steiner ’06.

Alumni Donors by Class
Golden Gift The Class of 1961 returned to campus on the weekend of June 3-5, 2011 to celebrate their Golden Anniversary Reunion. In addition to a
weekend full of great fun, great memories and great friends, the Class of ’61 also presented Prep with a five year gift commitment of $90,560.00! The funds raised
by the class will be used in two ways: to support the Class of 1961 Scholarship for student financial aid and for support of the Annual Fund. Fairfield Prep is most
appreciative of the efforts of the 50th Reunion Committee (see page 27) and all those in the class who came back to Prep to celebrate their legacy!

Alumni Donors by Class
Prep’s silver sons Having experienced three different Headmasters in their four years at Prep, the Class of 1986 built a special
bond as classmates that was still evident as they returned to campus to celebrate their Silver Anniversary Reunion on the weekend of
June 17-18, 2011. In addition to the nearly 60 members of the class in attendance, the class of ’86 raised $148,275 in gift commitments over the
next five years to support the Rev. Laurence D. Ryan, S.J., Scholarship for student financial aid and the Annual Fund. Prep is most grateful for
the efforts of the 25th Reunion Committee (see page 27) and for all who participated in strengthening the already tight bond of this class!

By Greg Canuel ’05, TheDailyFairfield.com
T
hough he stepped down as head football coach at Prep three
years ago, Rich Magdon is still a presence at the school,
as a housemaster and director of facilities. This season,
the school decided to make sure Magdon never leaves the Jesuits’
football program.
Prep inducted Magdon into the Coaches’ Corner. A plaque with
his name adorns a rock in a corner of Alumni Field, joining those
celebrating three of Prep’s other coaching legends: Joseph Brosley,
Earl Lavery and Fr. Eugene Brissette, S.J.
“To just be considered in the same breath as those three
individuals right there is extremely humbling and rewarding,”
Magdon said.
Magdon started his coaching career at Fairfield Prep in 1970 as
an assistant under Lavery. He took over the head coaching job in
1993 and racked up a 96-69-2 record before retiring in 2008. During
his 15-year tenure he led the Jesuits to three Southern Connecticut
Conference division titles and two state semifinal appearances.
Prep revealed the plaque in a ceremony during halftime of a
rain-delayed home opener against Wilbur Cross. The Jesuits’ fans
showed their appreciation long before that, however, erupting in
chants of “Win for Richie” during the first half. “Rich was a great
teacher of the game,” said school president Fr. Jack Hanwell, S.J.,
quoting former player Greg Zielinski ’01. “His knowledge of football
and skills in managing the football team, coaching staff and parents
were very impressive. More importantly, however, Rich Magdon
taught us about life. He had a plethora of quotations, anecdotes and
wisdom.”

best exemplifies her spirit and life
principles.
The award was created in memory
of Maura Marden, an inspirational
cancer survivor, who died last year at
53. She was an active parent at Prep
and a participant in the SWIM Across
the Sound event. Her three sons Dave
Platow ’05, Danny Platow ’07 and Bart
Platow ’09 were Prep swimmers, and
all attended University of the Pacific in
California as Division I athletes.
The Maura F. Marden Memorial
Scholarship has been established in
Maura’s memory. Donations to this
scholarship may be made to the Prep
Development office.
35 swimmers over 5 years
The Prep teams were organized
by Joe Benz ’08 in 2007. In the past
five years they gained 12 corporate
sponsors, plus support by a
Fathers’ Club event and escort boat

We Will Never Forget…
S
eptember 11th, 2001 started out as a typical day. The sky
was clear and the temperature was quite moderate. At
8:46 am, just six minutes into first period at Fairfield Prep,
American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the
World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. First reports, though
sketchy, suggested that a small plane had hit the structure in a
terrible accident.
But at 9:03, United Airlines flight 175 cut into the second
tower. It was clear that a terrorist attack was under way. There
followed a report of an explosion at the Pentagon at 9:37 as a
third jet, American Airlines flight 77, careened into the side of
the structure. By the time first period ended at 9:40 most at Prep
were aware of the assault on our country. A fourth plane, United
Airlines flight 93 crashed into a rural section of Shanksville,
Pennsylvania at 10:03.
As the extent of the tragedy became clear, many members of
the Prep community made frantic calls to check on loved ones
who were working in the area that became known as “Ground
Zero.”
The Prep administrative offices were deluged with requests
from anxious parents who wished to take their sons home early.
Throughout the day the terrorist attacks became the topic of
discussion in class. Rumors of greater attacks yet to come were
whispered. Yet, despite the fears, the entire Prep community
drew together, as it has always done in times of suffering and
need.
In the aftermath a special assembly was held in Alumni Hall.
Various members of the Prep community spoke about how the
tragedy touched their lives. Mr. John Brennan, Dean of Students,
brought the entire congregation to tears as he discussed the toll
that 9/11 had on the N.Y.C. firefighters. Mr. Brennan related that
a sizeable number of firefighters and their families live in the
Rockaway Beach area, and he had come to know them very well
in his summer job as chief lifeguard at the beach.
Fairfield Prep alumni who perished in the World Trade Center (l-r):
Michael G. Jacobs ’64, Gary Lasko ’69 and Seth Morris ’83.
It seemed as though practically every member of the Prep
community knew someone who perished in the Trade Towers.
Among those lost on 9/11 were three Prep alums. One was
Michael G. Jacobs ’64. Michael worked on the 90th floor of Tower
Two for Fiduciary Trust. Also perishing in the towers were Gary
Lasko ’69 and Seth Morris ’83. Our community mourned their
loss and extended sincere condolences to their families. Senior
faculty members who had the privilege of teaching these men
fondly remembered them with personal anecdotes.
Back at Prep, the
chaplaincy team
and the guidance
department did an
incredible job of
facilitating the healing
process at the school.
Priests and counselors
were made available
for students who
needed to discuss
their anxieties.
Serious attempts
were made to repair
Greg Zielinski ’01 (center)
the psychological
wounds suffered
by so many. Yet, while the wounds might heal, the scars would
remain forever.
While the situations were quite different, for the students
at Prep the event would evoke a similar feeling of those of an
older generation who still can vividly recall exactly where they
were when they learned of the assassination of President John
Kennedy on November 22, 1963.
All of us at Prep and throughout America realize that our lives
would be forever changed as a result of the terrorist attacks on
our country. Terms such as “pre” and “post” 9/11 became part of
our vocabulary. The United States launched what have become
decade-long wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan in order to capture
and/or kill terrorists and to preempt future threats to American
interests. At home the U.S.A. Patriot Act was passed and the
Department of Homeland Security was created. All of this
spurred vigorous debates within the Political Awareness Society
as to the necessity and legality of such actions.
In the days and weeks following the tragedy alterations
were made in Prep procedures and policies. For one thing, all
academic and extracurricular travel trips were canceled for
the next few years. Administrators and faculty met in special
sessions to plan emergency policies in case of a future crisis on
campus, and building security was greatly upgraded.
Four years subsequent to the 9/11 emergency Time Magazine
featured an article on graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at
West Point. These were the young men and women who entered
the Academy in September of 2001. The article was entitled The
Class of 9/11. Featured in the article was Fairfield Prep grad Greg
Zielinski ’01. At Prep Greg was an outstanding student-athlete.
After graduating from West Point Greg went on to serve tours of
duty in the conflicts in the Middle East, as did a number of other
Prep alums.
Yes, it is difficult to believe that ten years have passed since
the terrorist attacks on our country. So much has changed during
that decade. Yet, one thing is certain — we will never forget that
terrible day.

Awareness Society of which he is the moderator.

Pediatrician’s House Calls Are 1,500 Miles Away
By Dr. Denise S. Walsh PhD, RN, P’98
“D
r. Jerry, look how big my son is!” Pediatrician
Jerry Hemenway, MD ’61, has heard these words
hundreds of times during his years of private
practice in Fairfield. On that day, Dr. Jerry’s young patient and his
proud mother were not from Southport but from the inner city
of Kingston, Jamaica.
For the past 12 years, Dr. Hemenway has traveled to Kingston,
an area known for drug and gang violence, to care for hundreds
of children living in these dangerous surroundings. Twice a
year, the communities in Kingston wait for Dr. Jerry and his
team from PRN Relief International to arrive, delivering medical
care, drugs and supplies to a population unable to afford these
services.
PRN Relief International: Physicians, Residents and Nurses As
Needed was founded in 2005 by Hemenway, Denise Walsh PhD,
RN (parent of Ian Walsh ’98), Steve Rosenman MD, and Eileen
Callahan BSN, RN, with the mission of delivering medical care
while simultaneously building a trusting relationship with
communities. In Jamaica the growing PRN team—currently
made up of over 50 volunteers—includes not only local
physicians from Connecticut, New York and Arizona, but also
students from Yale School of Medicine, Sacred Heart University,
and Molloy College. These professionals and students follow the
St. Ignatius call to action, firmly believing in the importance of
men and women for service.
Volunteers are physicians and nurses from all specialties who
use a week of their vacation time to work alongside Hemenway,
Walsh, Rosenman and Callahan. Although the trip itself
lasts one week, the preparation proves to be year-round. Dr.
Hemenway contacts pharmaceutical companies and colleagues
to give medications or donations to cover the cost of each trip.
Twice a year, he receives and organizes enough medication to fill
up to 30 suitcases.
Each trip to Jamaica brings a new challenge. Dr. Hemenway
has examined children under trees, in community centers,

occurrence for a chicken to walk across an exam table or
for an entire elementary school to send their students to Dr.
Hemenway for an afternoon full of examinations. The days are
long and the weather is hot, but Dr. Hemenway takes his time
with every patient and mother, tending to both the physical and
emotional needs of every family.
On several occasions, it was Dr. Hemenway who diagnosed
life-threatening cardiac irregularities in his young patients.
One afternoon while Dr. Hemenway stabilized an infant, Eileen
Callahan paid for a taxi to drive the mother and baby directly to

of younger baseball players into mature men. Realizing the value of a strong
education transcends onto the diamond, he knows that colleges are looking
for smart baseball players who are disciplined and have good grades. Mike
uses his knowledge and experience in the big leagues to help younger kids
play to their highest level of ability.
Mike played 15 years of professional baseball. He played in three major
league seasons with the Chicago White Sox and Colorado Rockies.
“You are very capable, and just because you have a bad day does not
mean you are worthless,” he says to young players. He knows that realizing
the achievements of others is a quality of successful people. “Stay away
from the negative people and stay focused on your hopes and dreams, and
chip away at it,” says Mike. He wants to help build confidence in younger
baseball players and he knows that the best effort combined with the best
education makes any goal achievable. Injuries brought his career to an
end, but he continues to use the values and lessons he learned from Prep in
helping young men succeed.

“Why Wasn’t I Succeeding in Class?”
Taken from a speech by Vin O’Hara ’01 as a
representative of the teaching staff at Eagle
Hill-Southport.
I
n 1988 — believe it or not — I was
first in my class in all subjects. I
knew my address, phone number,
and how to spell Manhattan. Coloring
in the lines was something I could
handle, and I was fully in control of my
bladder. I was riding high at the top of my class in Mrs. Starks’
Kindergarten. It was first grade that was my fall from grace.
“You’re holding the pencil wrong,” said Sister Ana in disgust.
Apparently, Satan used his left hand too! At the time, I was so
disheartened by her reaction I took her advice and have been
writing with my right hand ever since. Seemingly from that
moment forward school was difficult for me. I trudged on.
In the third grade, my lifelong struggle with reading began,
and it began as a secret. It was embarrassing and frustrating to
know that all of my peers were able to complete assignments I
couldn’t. At eight years old, it was glaringly obvious to me that
there was something wrong. However, I kept my head down and
refused to acknowledge my shortcoming.
By the time I reached middle school my aspirations to please
teachers seemed futile. I distinctly remember the incredulous
look upon my sixth-grade science teacher’s face when I told
her, “I did not know I was supposed to save all of my previous
assignments for future study.” This was the first of many
indications of my lack of organizational ability and attention
issues. Thank goodness I was one of twenty-five and could
be overlooked most of the time. Was school supposed to feel
as if you were treading water for seven hours a day? I worked
tirelessly into the night to complete homework assignments. My
parents couldn’t understand. My teachers couldn’t understand.
Above all, I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t succeeding when I
knew I was as intelligent as my fellow classmates.
After a successful stint in summer school, I was accepted
to Fairfield Prep as a freshman. It had always been a dream of
mine to play hockey for their team, but I had to keep my grades
up in order to play. Only one month into the fall, and I could no
longer tread the water. I was drowning in long-term projects,
daily assignments, and could no longer conceal my deficiencies.
It was suggested that I be tested for learning disabilities. As it
turned out, my math teacher noticed I repeatedly transposed the
digits on math problems mixing up their order. If I were asked
what six times six was, I’d answer sixty-three. After ten years
of school, it was the first time anyone had noticed a dyslexic
tendency. I was diagnosed with severe Attention Deficit Disorder
with Dyslexic and Dyscalculia tendencies. While I agree that I
was excitable, I felt the “severe” part of the diagnosis was a bit
severe. Anyway, prescriptions were written, hands were shaken,
and stigmas ensued. School remained difficult for me, but I was
able to focus. My reading efficiency increased dramatically, and

Porco ’81 Dedicates
Foundation to His Son
By Peter Brawley ’70, friend and colleague
O
n February
16, 2011,
Jordan Porco,
the 18-year-old son of
Ernie Porco (Class of
1981), took his own
life in his dormitory
room at St. Michael’s
College where he was a
freshman. In the midst
of their grief, Ernie
and his wife, Marisa and daughter, Taylor have established the
Jordan Matthew Porco Memorial Foundation with the aim to
help prevent suicide among college-age students by increasing
awareness, identifying resources, and publicizing warning signs.
Of Jordan, Ernie says, “He was a happy-go-lucky young man,
loved by everyone, never displaying a sign of depression. If
this could happen to Jordan, it can happen to anyone’s child or
grandchild, or friend. Our son acted impulsively and took his life
for reasons we do not know. We searched for answers. We are
still searching. There was nothing that put this puzzle together.
Jordan was with his friends the night before. He went to his
classes on that Wednesday morning, and was looking forward to
skiing with our family and a friend on Friday.”
As their world collapsed, Marisa and Ernie researched the
statistics on suicides that take place on college campuses. Two
things overwhelmed them. First, was the prevalence of collegestudent suicide. Second, was how most universities do not talk
about suicide before or even after it happens. These statistics are
rarely shared with students or parents during orientation or the
college preparatory process.
• Suicide is the second-most common cause of death among
college students (first is auto accidents).
• 1 in 10 college students has made a suicide plan.
• 1.5 out of every 100 has actually attempted suicide.
• 66% of college students feel overwhelmed by all the
responsibilities of college life.
Ernie explained, “People ask our family how we get the
energy to move on? Our answer is: 1) We believe, if we had
known the facts that we know now, maybe Jordan would be
alive today; and 2) By bringing these staggering statistics to the
surface for parents, students and faculty, as well as creating
awareness of the available resources, we can prevent this
from happening to another student, another family. The most
important way to get involved is to TALK, to tell the truth, to
learn and to recite the horrific statistics. Suicide doesn’t just
happen to the person who committed the act. It happens to his/
her family, friends, teachers, and community. We need your help
to reach the NINE who can help the ONE – over and over again.”
The Foundation is organizing a Gala on March 10, 2012 at
Connecticut’s Science Center in Hartford to promote awareness
of teen suicide. Anyone interested in more information is invited
to visit the Foundation’s website, www.rememberingjordan.org.

The Latin Scholars Serve Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam
I
t all began when a group of Prep grads got together for
lunch one day in December of 1976. They were John Ford
’46, Emil Garofalo ’45, Frank Kennelly ’45, John Connelly
’45 and Stanton Kennedy ’45. The guest of honor was
Fr. Thomas Murphy, S.J.
Fr. Murphy had been everyone’s Latin teacher from 1942 to
1946. At his tallest, he stood about 5’6" – OK, maybe 5’6½". Ergo,
he maintained order the old fashioned way — lots of homework
and plenty of JUG. It wasn’t long before the students nicknamed
him “Little Caesar,” a moniker he smilingly carried to his grave.
That 1976 lunch was a couple of hours of reminiscence and
laughter about those first years of Fairfield Prep, and it was
decided that it should be an annual event. The following year,
Mickey McBride, Dick Shea, Bob Walsh and Ed Dailey (all ’46)
joined the fun. As time went by, the group began to refer to
themselves as “Fr. Murphy’s Latin Scholars” (there has been
a rumor afloat that one could only claim the title if he had
flunked Latin at least once… this vicious gossip has been denied
vociferously by the intelligentsia of the original gathering!).
As the beloved priest advanced in age, the group wanted to
honor his many years of service to the Prep and its students. A
huge boulder was located on the Prep campus. It was cleaned,
polished, inscribed and — with much fanfare — placed on a
knoll overlooking the school. The inscription reads “In loving
gratitude from all who derived comfort, joy and inspiration from
his piety and his music.” It is dated August 28, 1984. The boulder
was subsequently moved, and now sits at the entrance to the
Prep, where it greets the young men as they arrive each morning.
The group’s next modest plan was to place a plaque on
the door of the music room bearing the name “Rev. Thomas A.
Murphy, S.J.” What a shock it was to learn that a $10,000 donation
to the school would be required! Where to amass such a sum…
why not open the December luncheon to all Prep grads, and
charge a small fee? The official “Latin Scholars” was born. John
Connelly assumed the presidency, and the first Latin Scholars
luncheon took place in 1981.
Attendance and receipts that first year were modest,
but in succeeding years the growth has been impressive.
Approximately $100,000 has been raised, and all proceeds have
been donated to Prep-related charities. Emil Garofalo succeeded
John Connelly as president, followed by John Ford. John was
followed by Paul Connelly and, since Paul’s death, Emil Garofalo
has again assumed leadership.
The 2011 gathering was attended by 140 Prep grads and
raised $6,600. The money was dispersed as follows:
Fairfield Prep Music Maintenance Fund............................... $900
Rev. Thomas A. Murphy, S.J., Scholarship Fund................ $1,100
Rev. James H. Barry, S.J., Scholarship Fund....................... $1,100
Msgr. Joseph Potter (Class of ’46) Brazilian Mission........ $1,750
Rev. Edward McCall (Class of ’47) Brazilian Mission........ $1,750
The occasion began as a
simple get together of old
friends, and the low-key theme
continues. There are no paid
employees, no red tape, no
perks, no graft, no fraud. A
bank account exists to
cover postage, etc. and
the balance never
exceeds $100. Just
the way Fr. Murphy
would like it!

Charitable Giving:
Leave A Legacy For Prep
F
or millions of Americans, “charity begins at home.” That’s
where they’ve decided to make a difference by donating
money to local religious, educational, social or cultural
organizations. In addition to the immense satisfaction that
comes from giving to others, when done as part of an overall
estate plan, charitable giving can provide tax benefits for the
donor and his or her estate.
Charitable Gifts of Life Insurance
Gifts of life insurance have some unique advantages:
• Life insurance is a contract and passes outside the will by
beneficiary designation, so it generally cannot be contested in
probate proceedings.
• Since the payment of a life insurance policy death benefit to
a named beneficiary is not part of the probate process, it is
private, not a matter of public record like assets passing by will.
• Donor is eligible for an income tax charitable deduction when
he/she transfers an existing life insurance policy to charity.
• Ability to leverage a charitable donation through the death
benefit.
• There are no probate delays.
• Other assets are kept intact for the donor’s family.
Gifts of life insurance can be made in essentially two ways.
Under the first, the insured is the owner of the policy and the
charity is the BENEFICIARY. This arrangement is used when an
insured/donor desires to retain control over the insurance policy.
Under this arrangement, the premiums paid are not eligible
for an income tax charitable deduction. Additionally, since
the insured owns the policy at death, the death benefit will be
includable in his or her gross estate, but it will be 100% deductible
from the estate, since it is payable to a charity.
Under the second, the charity is OWNER AND BENEFICIARY.
Unlike the situation where the insured retains ownership, the
premium may be income tax-deductible within IRS guidelines.
State “insurable interest” laws must be checked to determine if a
charity can be the initial applicant of life insurance on the life of
a donor.
If the donor gives an existing policy to charity, the lesser of
the fair market value of the policy (generally, its cash surrender
value plus any unearned premium) or the policyholder’s basis
(normally the premiums paid) is eligible for an income tax
charitable deduction. Additionally, future gifts of cash to the
charity for premium payment purposes are also eligible for an
income tax charitable deduction within IRS guidelines.

Close Ties Never Fade Away
By Donald Eng ’90, Editor of the
Trumbull Times, holding his yearbook
W
hen you work as a local
news editor, being cold
and damp is part of
the job. For whatever reason, news
hardly ever happens on 78-degree
afternoons in May.
On this particular day, I was
covering a flag-raising ceremony
on a blustery January morning. The
temperature was in the high 20s and it wasn’t quite raining, but
it also wasn’t quite not, if you know what I mean.
Normally, an assignment like this is a drive-by. Leave the car
running, snap a couple photos and run. But that day I stayed.
And stayed. For 40 minutes I stood with the president of the local
historical society and two state legislators on a traffic island,
next to a flagpole as cars whipped by. Why on earth would we do
such a thing? Fairfield Prep.
All four of us were graduates, though our years at the school
never overlapped. We had made the connection as the ceremony
was ending, and the guests were heading for their cars. Someone
said good-bye to the historical society president, and had added
“Tell your son good luck in his game tomorrow.”
I asked what sport his son played, and he answered, “He’s on
the Fairfield Prep hockey team.” Just that quickly, the relationship
between the four of us changed. No longer reporter and news
sources, we were now four alumni talking about the school we
still loved. It didn’t matter that we had graduated between 20
and 40 years ago. It didn’t matter what the weather was. What
mattered was Fairfield Prep.
Stories like that are familiar to most of my fellow alumni,
and probably to a good amount of current students, too. There is
something about this place that is special.
About 10 years ago, I was running a small business, and we
used a delivery service. One of the drivers was an older man,
who had retired from his career and taken a job as a courier
three days a week to stay active.
For two years we exchanged hellos, and that was about it.
Then came the day we learned we both were Prep grads. My
alumni magazine had arrived in the mail, and for two days I
hadn’t had time to read it. Finally I took it to work with me, and
was flipping through the pages when a parts delivery arrived.
He looked at my magazine, and asked if I was a graduate.
When I said I was, he held out his hand and said simply, “Class
of ’55.” Incredibly, I actually learned he was a fellow alum before
I learned his name.
As more years pass (21 since I graduated) I have come to
realize that, for me at least, these chance meetings are what
makes the school special and are, for me, the most cherished
part of being a Fairfield Prep graduate. Sure, there are the topnotch academics, but people don’t stand in the cold to talk about
SAT scores.
As a final thought, I am reminded of my work on the
Hearthstone yearbook my junior year. The staff could not decide
on a theme, being split between “Close Ties” and “Not Fade
Away.” We finally voted to combine the two, and the theme
became “Close Ties Never Fade Away.”
At the time I hated the compromise theme, but now I think it
captured the spirit of the school perfectly. Quite the opposite of
fading away, the ties that I and my fellow graduates feel for our
alma mater grows as we come to realize that we were then, and
continue to be, part of something special.

T
he late Robert J. Brennan Jr. was unanimously named 2011’s
Fairfielder of the Year. Brennan, former chair of Fairfield’s
Zoning Board of Appeals, died on Oct. 19 at the age of 68. “He was
a giant among men in this community,” said Selectman James
Walsh, who co-nominated Brennan for the award. “My only regret
is that we could not give this award to him himself.”
Brennan’s daughter, Katie O’Leary, accepted the award. Brennan’s wife
Alyson was there along with some of Brennan’s six children, four grandchildren
and friends. Brennan was involved with many local groups, including the
Fairfield University Alumni Association Board of Directors, Fairfield University
Board of Trustees, and Fairfield Prep Advancement Council. He was the uncle of
the late Ryan Brennan, class of 2011.

“Kiki” Marcus Dormevil ’09
Plays Lehigh Football
A
t the season opener at Monmouth, Lehigh football
coach Andy Coen singled out Marcus Dormevil’s 47-yard
touchdown run that closed out Lehigh’s 49-24 win as the “feel
good story of the day.”
That’s because Dormevil is a testament to what hard work,
dedication and determination — all stuff that sports are
supposed to be all about — can do for a young man.
Dormevil came to Lehigh for the education. “I wasn’t
recruited by anybody,” the 5-foot-6, 170-pound Dormevil said.
“I started playing football in my sophomore year of high school
[Fairfield Prep in Connecticut], and back then I was about 5-4,
140 and played receiver. Not too many guys built like me are
playing receiver. I wasn’t expecting too many colleges to come
looking at me.
“I always wanted to be an
engineer and Lehigh has a
great program. I knew they
also had a great football
program. I only played three
years of football and I didn’t
want to give it up.”
So Dormevil, now a junior,
introduced himself to the
staff and told them of his
interest. They gave him a
tryout and the rest is history.
“It’s difficult to work your way up from the bottom,” Dormevil
said. “But it has been worth it. The last two years have really
been great. I’ve really appreciated and enjoyed the opportunity
and I am looking forward to continue it over these next two
years.”

Jack Roche, former teacher, dies at 82
J
ohn (Jack) Roche, beloved former Prep
teacher, passed away with his family by his
side October 14, 2011. He was a loving father,
committed teacher, supportive mentor, and
cherished friend to many. He graduated from St. Patrick’s
School in Bridgeport in 1943 and Central High School in
1947, and was a member of the inaugural graduating class of
Fairfield University, which launched a lifelong relationship
with the school. He received a BS in Chemistry in 1951, and a
Masters in Secondary Education in 1952. From 1952-1954, he
served in the US Army during the Korean War.
Jack began his career in education in 1955 as a science
teacher at Harding High School. In 1969, he began teaching
chemistry and physics at Trumbull High School, and in 1976
was named Chairman of the Science Department. In 1984, he
started a ten-year career at Fairfield Prep, where he taught
physics and chemistry. He became Chairman of the Science
Department there in 1989, and he was instrumental in the
design and construction of new science labs and classrooms.
While raising his nine children, Jack often had to work
more than one job. He spent eight years at Upward Bound
at Fairfield University, taught part-time at Sacred Heart
University for 22 years, and taught evenings at Housatonic
Community College and the University of New Haven. For
his commitment to education, he was honored with the
Outstanding Science Teacher Award by Sigma Xi Chemical
Research Society of Quinnipiac University in 1991, the
Presidential Award for Excellence in 1992, and was named
Educator of the Year at Fairfield Prep in 1993. He coached the
Prep bowling team to a 1987 State Championship.
Why Wasn’t I Succeeding in Class?
Continued from page 39
while it everyday remained a struggle, the effort necessary was
always worth it to be able to play hockey for Prep. After four
years, I graduated with my classmates from a school I could not
have without my diagnosis. My confidence restored, I went on
to graduate from Fairfield University while studying Philosophy
and Neuropsychology. All of this would have been unattainable
without the strong love and support of friends, mentors, and my
family who had always believed in my ability.
As children we are told to dream unabashedly. In our
bedroom mirrors we are astronauts, firefighters, and the shapers
of a future generation. It is the societal role of a school to
create an atmosphere that helps guide its children to succeed.
However, education often follows a standard which for the
majority is to succeed.
The exceptions to a rule are never convenient to recall.
Moreover, they require more time, effort, and attention. Yet,
they are essential for a more comprehensive understanding
of the rule. As a student, I was the exception to the rule. I
required more time, effort, and attention in order to complete
assignments. As one of twenty-five, I needed to be noticed. I
needed one-on-one tutorials, visual aids for math, and above all
I needed teachers with patience, compassion, and belief that I

worked closely with Dr. Richard Garvey
MD to perform the surgeries at no cost.
Caring for the children in these
communities can change your life in various
ways. A 6-year-old boy was having a birthday the week that PRN
was visiting the Kingston community. After his birthday, the
child returned to the clinic and tugged on Dr. Jerry’s arm, “do
you remember me?” Dr. Jerry asked how his birthday was and
the child excitedly replied that he received his first ever birthday
present. Dr. Jerry was so happy, “what did you get?” The child held
out his hand and showed everyone the little matchbox car that
all the children received after their examinations with PRN. His
first birthday present was the free giveaway that Dr. Hemenway
had given to him.
The imprint of a Fairfield Prep education is evident in his
service to all. This past October, as Dr. Hemenway was cleaning
up his exam table in a clinic, one of the mothers told him, “You
know, Dr. Jerry, you are our family doctor.” “I know,” smiled Dr.
Hemenway and he climbed into the waiting bus to get ready
for the next group of children, putting into action his Jesuit
education to thousands of children and adults.
In addition to Jamaica, PRN Relief has supported relief efforts
in Sri Lanka post-tsunami, Liberia post-war, Dominican Republic,
Haiti and post-Katrina. Donations are gratefully accepted to
continue the mission of service to all.

could succeed. What I needed was Eagle Hill.
As a long-time friend of the Sylvestro family, I inquired about
the possibility of working here. It has been a perfect match. On a
daily basis I see children who, like me, struggled to fit the mold
of the traditional classroom. These children are exceptions to
the rule. Whatever their obstacle, I know it is my duty to support
their efforts to better themselves. It is my job to be the teacher
I never had and stand as a role model that has overcome a
similar circumstance. Eagle Hill represents a reminder to our
society to recognize that exceptions to the rule occasionally do
exceptional things. For our world would be drastically different
without the historical impact made by those who did not let a
learning disability deter them. Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison,
Pablo Picasso, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Winston Churchill, Walt Disney,
and John F. Kennedy overcame their struggles with learning. I
leave you with a quote by Albert Einstein. “Once we accept our
limits, we go beyond them.” At this school we do that everyday,
and instill the confidence that just might change the world for a
student.
Editor’s Note: Regarding Fairfield Prep, Vin adds, “I have one request:
Please thank all of my previous teachers for their patience and
willingness to help me. I was a very difficult student, and in this speech,
I didn’t give them the credit they deserve. Their guidance and support
was monumental, and for it I cannot be more grateful.”
