Following
DHS, I went to Fairfield University (CT). Two weeks after graduating from
there, I took what I expected to be a two or three year romp working for
CIA. Twenty-six years later I found I had had enough of a romp -- took
a year off and then found a real job. At one point I worked for CIA Director
Bill Casey and recall him saying, "When you leave, start your own
business. I have never worked for anyone, and never will." I still
wonder if he ever understood that Reagan was his boss, not just his friend.

MEMORY OF DELEHANTY HIGH

For some reason, Detention springs to mind. Actually, I didn't spend all that much time there, and got plenty of demerits for skipping it. I recall vividly Joe C (last name being protected) exlaiming "This isn't the test", when handed Mrs. Cunningham's Latin-II exam. Joe, your sources let you down. Oh, and I can't fail to remember the athletic center, the dining room, and science lab. Yes, I was delusional then, too. | ||

Favorite

Enjoyed the wit of Cinelli and Mahoney, the intellectual curiousity of Dowling (math & physics), the enthusiasm of Darmento (Latin), the humanity of Gilgannon, and I am still not over the crushes I had on Theresa Reilly and Barbara Bielefeld. | |

The 2001 reunion was a wonderful renewal that I hope to experience again. In the meantime, I plan to stay tuned to this site to catch up on the wanderings of people to whom I have strong attachments. |
