Celebrating Catholic Education with
Chicago’s New Archbishop
C
Chicago Archishop Blase J. Cupich shared an evening of faith and
friendship with the Loyola community on January 30 as he wrapped
up his tour of Chicago-area Catholic schools during National
Catholic Schools Week.
As we welcomed Chicago’s ninth archbishop to Loyola, we
also honored our Ignatian educators with a skybox dinner at the
Loyola vs. St. Ignatius Jesuit Cup basketball game. Archbishop
Cupich joined our teachers, staff and board members at the
catered dinner, which marked the culmination of our Faculty and
Staff Appreciation activities held in conjunction with National
Catholic Schools Week.
After sharing food and thoughts about faith with his

crowd in St. Ignatius’s Prayer for

rivals from St. Ignatius College Prep and the fans joined in—–filling
the gym with a profound sense of spiritual harmony and Catholic
faith experienced in community.
Although our basketball team played an inspired game,
St. Ignatius won out by a single point and brought the Jesuit
Cup back to Roosevelt Road with a 43-42 victory.

‘‘
I am fueled by

our alumni who
have hit the road
after graduating
from Loyola and
have moved to
the frontiers.
The mission of Jesuits is to reach out to the frontiers. We are
called to be at the places where cultures meet and dividing
lines seem to be drawn. To go to the frontiers means that we
feel comfortable asking questions at those intersections where
faith meets science or where one culture meets another. We
don’t fear these places, but rather we enter into them with the
confidence that God can be found in the midst of these places of
contrast and conflict. And so all of us who are a part of the Jesuit
mission have a role to play on the road in the pilgrimage of life.
We seek to find God and to serve God wherever we might be
sent, wherever the road might take us.
days, in conversations with Rambler alumni and friends all over the world, it has been confirmed for
me how significant and how important our mission is here at the corner of Lake and Laramie. As we
continue to live out the great vision of St. Ignatius of Loyola, I am fueled by the stories of our alumni
who have hit the road after graduating from Loyola and moved to the frontiers. They have brought
their unique talents and gifts to the great questions, struggles and dreams of our world today.
I invite you to peruse this magazine, which highlights Loyola alumni in many parts of the
world—–alumni who have gone on to do interesting, creative, thought-provoking and generous
things. Like them, all of you who are Ramblers have moved on from this place into the next best
steps of your lives. I hope that you have made those moves with a confidence that has been instilled
in you by the education that you received at Loyola. Our task here is not simply to provide an
outstanding college preparatory education. Our mission is to equip young people to take that step
off of our campus onto the highways and byways of thought and intellectual curiosity. We challenge
Ramblers to hit the road and find their passions. We are called to seek out those places where the
world’s needs speak to us most profoundly and then to give of ourselves—–to be women and men
for others who have learned the great wisdom that to find yourself you have to give yourself away.
I thank you for all that you are and all that you do. I am inspired by all of the ways that you have
followed the path of your pilgrimage, applied your gifts and talents and shared yourselves with
a world so desperately in need of hope and light. As always, I invite you to consider supporting
the ongoing mission of Loyola Academy. You can make an extraordinary impact in our world by
investing in the Ramblers of today and tomorrow. By supporting us with your prayers, with your
good words and with your financial contributions, you make our mission possible and help fuel
future generations of Ramblers for the journey ahead.
Know that you and your families are in our prayers here on campus.
Go! Ramblers!

Reaching for
J
With environmentally friendly aviation fuels made from algae and
cornhusks, 21st-century customer service innovations and elements of
hospitality borrowed from the hotel industry, United Airlines Vice President
Jimmy Samartzis ’94 is transforming air travel as we know it.
Jimmy Samartzis ’94 has always
been fascinated by airplanes. As a
kid growing up in Chicago, he loved the
high whine of their revving engines as
they gained speed on the O’Hare Airport
runways near his family’s Northwest Side
home. He loved the ear-numbing roar just
before takeoff—–and the spine-tingling
thrill of watching those giant silver birds
ascending into the Midwestern sky.
“Every couple of months, my dad
would drive us to the spot where one
of the airport runways went right over
the road,” Samartzis recalls. “I remember standing outside of the car near
Mannheim Road with my brother, Dino,
and my sister, Kelly, and being completely
awed by the mechanical feat of such large
pieces of equipment becoming airborne.”
Looking back from the vantage point
of 2015, those plane-spotting excursions
seem almost prescient. But, at the time,
4

LOYO L A M AG A Z I N E
no one could have predicted that the
awestruck boy standing open-mouthed
on Mannheim Road would mature into one
of United Airline’s most successful leaders
and innovators.
Not even Samartzis himself. His path
to United was a circuitous one—–a path
that goes back to his Rambler years, when
Doc Aiello’s Honors U.S. History course
and Mike Barry’s A.P. Political Science
course sparked his interest in government
and politics.
After graduating from Loyola, he
headed to the University of Chicago with
plans to get an undergraduate degree
in political science and apply to law
school. But when fellow Rambler Steven R. Dagdigian ’94, who was
studying at Georgetown University,
encouraged him to apply for a summer
internship at the White House, Samartzis
jumped at the chance to pursue his
growing interest in politics. He mailed off
an application and wrote personal letters to
White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta and
Senior Advisor George Stephanopoulos.
Although his application was rejected,
a Stephanopoulos staffer contacted him
two days later with an internship offer—–and
the 19-year-old headed to D.C. to serve
as an intern in the Executive Office of the
President. At summer’s end, when he was
preparing to head back to Hyde Park and
his undergraduate studies, he was invited to
stay on in the West Wing instead.
“I realized that this was an opportunity
of a lifetime,” says Samartzis. “I was seeing
the President and his staff on a frequent basis, and I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t have
an opportunity like that again, so I decided
to put my studies on hold.”
When he returned to the University of
Chicago a year later, he was so inspired to
serve in government and politics that he
the Sky
applied for an internship in Mayor Daley’s
office, where he was involved with Neighborhoods Alive, an initiative launched to
revitalize inner-city neighborhoods. The
internship led to a part-time position in
the mayor’s office, which he held while
completing his undergraduate degree.
Meanwhile, he’d begun to interview with
consulting firms and investment banks, including the New York City-based Goldman
Sachs, but his heart wasn’t in the game.
“I realized that I wanted to have an impact in government and politics, so I shifted
my focus to Washington, D.C., where I got
involved with an initiative called The March:
Coming Together to Conquer Cancer.
That time in D.C. gave me a chance to get
reacquainted with my Clinton administration contacts, which led to an opportunity
to work for the U.S. Secretary of Labor.”
Between 1999 and 2000, Samartzis
went into hyperdrive, pursuing a master’s
degree in government at Johns Hopkins
University by night while working during
the day as a security consultant for SRA
International, where he was involved in the
development of a Y2K national preparedness program for the White House, as well
as the first national plan to protect critical
U.S. banking, finance, transportation and
power infrastructures from cyber attacks.
By 2001, he’d moved on to the Washington, D.C.-based global strategy consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton. As he
moved deeper into the field of international
business, he decided to take a year’s leave
to earn an MBA at Oxford University’s Said
Business School. In 2002, Oxford degree
in hand, he proposed to his girlfriend,
Elizabeth, during a well-deserved vacation
on the southern coast of Spain and then
returned to Booz Allen to spend the next
five years building a successful consulting
practice.
He loved the work that he was doing at
Booz Allen, which ranged from the development of an international strategy for the U.S.
missile defense system to the development
of critically needed medical interventions
for U.S. troops at risk of exposure to chemical and biological weapons.
But he and Elizabeth had married in
2003—–and his priorities had begun to shift.
“My son, Stephen, was born in Virginia in 2005,” he recalls. “Elizabeth and I
didn’t have the sense of community that we
wanted in D.C., so I began to think about
moving back to the Chicago area.”
A United Airlines posting for a director
of integrated planning solidified his resolve.

terminal in 2014.
He landed the job and, by 2007, the family
had relocated to Wilmette, a community he
remembered fondly from his Loyola years.
“United was just coming out of
bankruptcy, and I was energized by the
transformation that the company was going through,” explains Samartzis, who has
played the role of change agent consistently throughout his career. “I’m not a guy who
is interested in maintaining the status quo.”

did a nice job of managing what was probably, in retrospect, a pretty challenging group
of smart, ambitious kids. We set a high bar for
a good product and put together a yearbook
that won national awards.”
While his leadership skills may have been
innate, Samartzis’s formidable work ethic was
forged during years of watching his father
(who left his Greek homeland with $200 to his
name) labor long hours to build a new
life in the U.S.
“I remember accompanying my
dad, who serviced and installed HVAC
systems for Chicago-area restaurants, to
his job sites,” Samartzis confides. “I have
vivid memories of the times when his truck
was broken into and his tools and equipment were stolen. Every time it happened,
we’d head over to Maxwell Street to buy
everything back. Those years taught me
a lot about life and what it takes to
get ahead.”
His father’s early hardships also made
Samartzis keenly aware of the need to help
others who were struggling. As a Rambler,
he tutored children from a nearby trailer park
and served the developmentally disabled
residents at Misericordia. Most recently, he
has pursued his passion for serving others
as a board member for Urban Initiatives—–a
nonprofit led by James W. Dower ’98 to empower underserved children to adopt healthy
lifestyles, improve their academic performance and build strong character through
sports-based youth development programs.
“My brother, Dino, and I often talk
about how Loyola inspired us and helped
us become who we are today,” reflects
Samartzis. “I look up to Dino as he improves
people’s lives through innovations in spine
medicine—–truly making a difference in
communities throughout Asia, Europe and
here in the U.S. Our careers are very different,
but the core principles that have shaped both
of our lives are rooted in our upbringing and
in our Loyola experience: never settle, never
give up and push for the change that you
want to see.” 4

of our President’s Dinner, serving in his new role as secretary for higher education for the
Society of Jesus. Although he was an ocean away—–convening a gathering of Jesuit scholars
at the request of His Holiness Pope Francis and Superior General of the Society of Jesus Rev. Adolfo Nicolás, SJ—–we are sure that Fr. Garanzini was with us in spirit as we celebrated
his service to youth through higher education.

Q
Q&A
In 2014, Loyola Academy Athletic Director Patrick M. Mahoney ’90 was
voted in as president of the venerable Chicago Catholic League (CCL),
which has served Catholic high school athletes in the Chicago area for more
than a century. We caught up with Mahoney in early 2015 to find out more
about his growing influence in the Catholic athletic arena, his commitment
to Catholic education and the Jesuit values that will guide him as he leads
the Chicago Catholic League through its 102nd year.
1 Why are you so committed to leading the Chicago Catholic League?
I believe in Catholic education, and I appreciate and respect the Chicago
Catholic League’s longstanding tradition of excellence in Catholic
high school athletics. I had served on the league’s executive
board for several years, and I felt that the time was right to
step up and expand my involvement. I also thought it was
important for Loyola Academy to have a strong voice and a leadership role in the league.
2 How does your service as CCL president align with
your commitment to Jesuit education?
As a Jesuit educator, I’m strongly influenced by the
Ignatian imperative to be a leader in service. This
position enables me to achieve that goal by serving
Chicago-area Catholic schools and the studentathletes who attend these schools.
3 What are your goals as CCL president?
4
My goals are to continue to run the league in a
positive fashion, update the league’s constitution
and bylaws, evaluate the league’s financial
operations and create a stronger presence in
social media.
As a Loyola alumnus, do you have any enduring
memories of the CCL from your days as a Rambler
athlete?
I remember people talking about the Chicago
Catholic League. Everybody knew somebody from
the league or had a great story about someone who
attended a school in the league. I’ll never forget what
a great feeling it was to win the Lawless Award for
most outstanding senior baseball player in the CCL.
I felt a huge sense of pride and accomplishment. The
award, which is presented annually to an outstanding
coach and athlete in each sport, was named after Tony
Lawless, who helped found and develop the Chicago
Catholic League. The CCL played a pivotal role in my
life and in the lives of generations of other Catholic high
school athletes. It is an honor to be able to give back to
the CCL and support its mission to promote excellence
in athletics and academics. 4

In January 2015, the Robert R.
RIP
McCormick Foundation made a
$500,000 gift to Loyola Academy to establish the
James
C. Dowdle ’52 Memorial Scholarship.
Spearheaded by Loyola graduate parent, retired Tribune Company CEO and
McCormick Foundation Board Chair Dennis J. FitzSimons, the scholarship honors
James C. Dowdle ’52 RIP, who played a key role in the transformation of the Tribune
Company into a major media conglomerate and served on the boards of numerous
schools, charities and foundations, including Loyola Academy and the Robert R.
McCormick Foundation, as well as Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, Junior Achievement of
Chicago, Loyola University Medical Center, Mundelein Seminary and the Big Shoulders
Fund, which supports Catholic schools in the neediest areas of inner-city Chicago.
The James C. Dowdle ’52 Memorial Scholarship will carry on Jim’s legacy of philanthropy and service by providing tuition assistance for Loyola Academy students from
Catholic schools supported by the Big Shoulders Fund. The scholarship will also cover
academic expenses, transportation costs and summer enrichment programs.
“This scholarship is especially meaningful for a number of reasons,” says Loyola
Academy President Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, SJ. “It pays homage to a revered alumnus,
parent and former member of our Board of Trustees, while assisting students who
matriculate to Loyola Academy from Big Shoulders Fund schools. The mission of the
Big Shoulders Fund was near and dear to Jim’s heart, just as it remains a priority for
Loyola Academy and the McCormick Foundation. It is our hope that the McCormick
Foundation’s exceptionally generous gift will inspire others to follow the foundation’s
lead by providing additional funding for this scholarship. Nothing would please me
more than to witness Jim’s wide circle of friends and admirers honoring him by making
additional contributions to increase the impact of this scholarship in his name.”
To contribute to the James C. Dowdle ’52 Memorial Scholarship, please contact
Vice President of Advancement Robert O. Miller at 847.920.2421 or bmiller@loy.org.

Commemorating a 50-Year Milestone
with a Record-Breaking Gift
H
Half a century after graduating from Loyola Academy, nearly
100 members of our Class of 1964 reconvened for a weekend of reminiscing
and reconnecting at our Wilmette campus.
The reunion, which took place on the weekend of September 19-21,
“exceeded all expectations,” according to a post-reunion report issued by the
reunion committee, and offered a welcome opportunity to “share stories,
renew relationships and develop new friendships.” It was a weekend defined
by superlatives: a spectacular turnout, glorious September weather—–and an
extraordinary act of collective generosity as class members commemorated
their 50-year milestone with contributions totaling more than $358,000—–the
largest class gift in Loyola history.
We are deeply grateful to reunion committee chairs E. Paul Dunn
and Gerald F. Waldron and their committee members for organizing this
memorable weekend, as well as the members of the Class of 1964 for giving so
generously to provide tuition assistance for today’s Ramblers in need.

Opening Doors to the Arts
P
Peter G. Leemputte ’75 and his wife, Ellen,
contributed $1 million to Loyola Academy’s Fine Arts
Initiative in July 2014.
Their extraordinary gift will
support the development of a
comprehensive fine and performing
arts center at Loyola, as well as
expanded programming in art,
design, photography, filmmaking,
architecture, theatrical performance
and production, music and dance.
“Loyola Academy has always
stood for the development of
Ellen and
the whole individual, integrating
Peter G. Le
empu tte
‘75
the religious, intellectual, artistic
and athletic abilities of a diverse group of men and
women,” says Peter Leemputte. “Ellen and I want to contribute to that mission
by ensuring that the school’s fine arts facilities are enhanced to a high level
of excellence.”
“The Leemputtes are loyal and longtime champions of Jesuit education,”
notes Principal Gifts Officer Les Seitzinger ’88. “Although their children—–Mary
’04, Peter ’08, John ’10 and Daniel ’12—–have all graduated from Loyola
Academy, their passionate support continues through their scholarships for
students in need, their ongoing participation in events such as our Ramble and
President’s Dinner and their most recent gift to our Fine Arts Initiative.”
“Since the first Jesuit school opened nearly five centuries ago, the Jesuits
have understood that the arts play an important role in the enrichment of the
human spirit and the development of creative thinkers with the potential to
transform society in positive ways,” comments Fr. McGrath. “We are deeply
grateful to Peter and Ellen for their continued generosity, which will give Rambler
artists and non-artists alike the facilities they need to explore the world’s diverse
cultures, the beauty of nature and the presence of God in all things through the
fine and performing arts.”

The sun was shining, the mood was congenial and the golf clubs were
swinging on September 8 as 128 Loyola alumni, parents and friends convened at the North
Shore Country Club for our 20th annual Ramblers Golf Outing.
The event, which was organized by Ronald E. “Reb” Banas ‘81 and his committee members,
raised more than $14,775 to cover a full year of tuition for a Rambler in need, including books, uniforms
and travel expenses.
These golfers for others also raised $17,500 for the Loyola Academy Needy Family Fund.
The funds will be used to provide nursing care for Patrick Stein ’11, who is suffering from lockedin syndrome, a form of paralysis caused by a brain aneurysm. Patrick is an inspiration to us all as he
continues to face his physical challenges with resilience, humor, faith and courage. We are grateful to
our alumni golfers for giving generously to support Patrick and his family.
Congratulations to our low-gross winners (above, left to right): James R. Sullivan ’88, Timothy
J. Haggerty ’81, Charles K. “Chas” Stevens ’85 and Ronald E. “Reb” Banas ’81. The Peoria scoring
winners were Daniel P. O’Brien ’89, Timothy D. O’Brien ’84, Loyola parent Douglas P. Boersma and
Mark P. Nugent ’80. John J. Waris ’08 won closest to the pin, and John D. Nimesheim ’91 won the
longest drive.
for our 21st annual Ramblers Golf Outing on September 14, 2015.
