Yes, I think the B.C. High spirit is still strong in me. I always look at the sports page to see how B.C. High did in cross country, soccer, or things like that. To me the experience at B.C. High was a good one, primarily due to the Jesuit faculty. There were some really great Jesuits there: Fr. Ed Donohue, whom I remember, God rest his soul, and Fr. John Chapman. Different characters, yet they sustained a sense that this is our school, we are proud of it.

I was at Columbia Point. There was a lot of violence there. You could not park a car on the side of the road; it would be stolen. But they knew we were going to be there, the Jesuits. And a lot of people asked for tutoring of their kids in English or Math, and we did some of that, too. But you were never really there; you were not one of them. When some of them got hurt or very sick, they had no place to go, but we always had the Society's health insurance, and things like that. And any time it was too hard, we could say, "Well, I'll go back to B.C. High and live there." So we were sort of looked upon as intruders. Even though it was a good plan, but it did not really work.
