McCartney, age 53, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Friday, February 7, 2014 after a long and valiant battle with cancer. Pat was born in New York City on September 14, 1960 to Dorothy and the late Patrick E. McCartney. He grew up in Hempstead, NY with his five younger brothers and sisters, Liz, Joe, Paul, Mary Ellen and Deirdre and a large close extended family. After graduating Chaminade High School (1978) and Manhattan College (1981), Pat attended Hofstra University School of Law (1984) where he met his wife Terri. He joined the law firm of Emmet Marvin and Martin in 1986 and became a partner in 1992. Pat was a Solicitor of England and Wales. He served on the board of Domus in Stamford for 14 years and was the president of Trailblazers Academy for more than 10 years. Pat was a charismatic guy. He had the rare gift of truly being able to listen to and care about all those around him - everyone who met him felt special. Family, faith and friends were most important to him. Pat loved to golf, was an avid skier, enjoyed traveling and sports. Music was a large part of Pat's life. He listened to a broad range of musical styles and loved nothing more than hearing live bands. In addition to his loving wife Terri of 28 years, Patrick is survived by his three children, Lauren, Patrick and Thomas, his mother Dorothy, five siblings, four brothers-in-law, five sisters in law, nineteen nieces and nephews, three uncles, thirty-seven first cousins and countless colleagues and friends.

JFACEBOOK: 2014 Manhattan Track & Field and Cross Country reunion2014-Feb-09FOUND ON FACEBOOK Daniel Loughney Al Novell sent this out the other day. Last reunion was a great event. Looking forward to getting together again. Hi fellow Jaspers, In 2011, we had our first ever Manhattan Track & Field and Cross Country reunion. We packed Smith Auditorium that day in October...and everyone had a great time! I have gotten many requests recently from former teammates wanting to have another reunion. So on Saturday, September 27, 2014, we will have another chance at seeing our old friends. A core team (currently Tom Donahue '71, Mark Codd '71, Jim Kenny '69 and myself '70), has put together a preliminary agenda for the day that hopes to have a Manhattan Cross-Country dual meet (new coach, Pat Slevin, will advise) down at Van Cordtlandt Park, a possible 5K fun-run over the same course for ourselves, a tour of the new Ray Kelly Student center, and a 5 pm to 11 pm reunion event ...again in Smith Auditorium. We are in the beginning stages of putting this together so many details will take shape later......but the date is set for September 27th. Why this early notice ? We want to get the first shot at getting on your calendar. Also, this will give you a long lead time to track down your old teammates and get them to join us. This is YOUR reunion. The more Jasper teammates you get to come, the better time you will have. The Class of 1971 led the way last time with 11 people and had a blast ! I don't have everyone's email address, so please reach out to those teammates that you keep in touch with and let them know about the 2014 reunion. I also ask you to let me know if you plan to come as soon as possible. This is not a commitment ....money won't be collected until August... but a tool for letting others see who is planning to be there (barring unknown events). As before, spouses and family are welcome. Best wishes, Al Novell - Class of 1970 # - # - # Loughney, Daniel [MC1988] # - # - # - # - # 2014-Feb-09 @ 11:27 |

JEMAIL: Toner, Mike (MC1972) has a gentler judgment of Seeger2014-Feb-09Dear f. John, Don't forget that our beloved Christian Brothers are (small "c") communists. AFAIK, Pete Seeger never advocated for the violent overthrow of our government, but simply thought, for awhile that a different economic system might be more fair and just. Also, AFAIK, once he later saw the unfortunate political and human rights situation, that he renounced his membership in the Communist Party. We have to rid ourselves of the 1950’s - "are you now, or have you ever been..." mentality. What do you think you might have done before the kangaroo court of the HUAC in the 50’s? I hope - but am not always confident - that I would have taken the risk of non-cooperation that Pete did. I am sure Pete had the clay feet that all of us do - but I don’t think that being part of the Communist movement - before the details of the brutality that the Stalinist government attached to it became known - is a great indictment. Thanks, as always, for your good work as CIC. If you decide that a paid distribution service is needed, I’ll be happy to sign-up for a subscription that shares the cost -- kind or a communist thing... :-)... mike toner Buffalo, NY BEE '72 # - # - # Toner, Mike (MC1972) [JR: I just think that everyone goes nuts without remembering the complete picture. As we all do. I have no problem with anyone who choses freely. Like the Brothers. Unfortunately, we don’t get that with all the “Kings” and their diktats! Who knows what we’ll do when the time comes. That’s why I only want small temptations. To match my character and ability. Stalin, Communism, Fascism, and even “democracy” all seem to force folks to do stuff they don’t want to do. As a little L libertarian, if something is a great idea, then people won’t need to be forced to do it. The distribution should remain free, just moving to “paid service”. Where I should have put it originally. Right now it looks like zero. But might be 120$ / year. If a lot of people sign up. You can be an alpha tester. Laff! Always a dangerous assignment. Thanks for the kind words. Nice to know someone reads this stuff.] # - # - # - # - # 2014-Feb-09 @ 19:07 |

JFOUND: Boivin, Ben [MC2009] NOLA visit2014-Feb-14http://edmundinnola.blogspot.com/ The first is from Ben Boivin, an Admissions and Financial Aide Counselor at Manhattan College, the home of the “Jaspers”. Himself a 2009 graduate of Manhattan College, this was his second time heading a team of 11 students in a Lasallian group doing service in New Orleans. They came to us Friday evening at the end of their time in NOLA to have a meal and meet our long-term volunteers [all Iona “Gaels”] and reflect on their experience of Christian service in New Orleans. [See the previous blog post.] Br. John For the second year in a row, my visit to NOLA has been the most powerful experience of my life. On the flight home I thought about our reflection on Friday night. It is difficult to get 11 college students together on any given Friday night, but that particular evening was maybe the best one they will have in their college career. Our group was buzzing with excitement and energy and that is due to you Brothers and the incredible volunteers. I am so glad that through Marita Keane, we were able to share thoughts and emotions once again. Your hospitality means a lot to the Jaspers.

PRAYERSREQUESTED: Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) has another request2014-Feb-15Good Morning All, I just heard from Bill Harkins and we need to raise the volume for a dear friend, Jim Smith. Bill spoke with Kathleen, Jim's Wife, on Friday. Jim and Kathleen have been on vacation in Stuart, Florida. Jim was taken to the Emergency Room in Stuart. His initial problem was serious pain in his ankle but it seems to be more than that. He has a Virus running through his body causing high fever and disorientation. It is not yet clear what the problem is but it is worrisome. Please keep Jim and Kathleen in your prayers as we pray that the MDs diagnose the problem and solution quickly and get Jim back on his feet. Thank you. God Bless. Phil Colon # - # - # Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) # - # - # Phil, We need to add Jim Smith to our prayer list.

Often referred to as the "City of Love," we thought it only fitting to save this one for Valentine's Day. Kevin was a History major at Manhattan College and Pat studied English and French at the University of Pittsburgh. They chose Paris mainly because, well, it's Paris! Their story is special in that it's told from both perspectives. *** end quote *** Fox, Kevin [MC????] # - # - # - # - # 2014-Feb-15 @ 10:42 Dear John, I believe that Kevin is a member of the Class of 1967.

ENDNOTE: Liberal versus conservativehttp://www.acton.org/pub/religion-liberty/volume-5-number-1/time-has-come-reevaluate-strategy-change*** begin quote *** R&L: In the past, you have noted that some religious leaders fail to uphold this vision. Higgins: There is a problem of late, particularly with the mainline denominations, and certainly with some of the Catholic bishops. The problem lies in their calls for social action. I am left with the distinct feeling that these clergy have abandoned one of religion’s most important roles: to act as an agent for change and improvement within a community. But they refuse to do it themselves, and instead become goads for government action. Thus, in essence, they lose their moral authority and we lose one of the primary institutions for affecting responsible change. R&L: Could you speculate as to why this has become the trend? What sort of forces have caused the leadership of the established churches to behave in this way? Higgins: Government solutions are very tempting. If you think about it, who wouldn’t want to go to a central entity which has the power to immediately affect the entire country with vast resources? It’s much more satisfying to feel you have done something on a national level rather than merely in your own back yard; though in reality it is more effective to pursue the latter. It seems to me that many people became uncomfortable with religion, particularly in the ’60s with its secular trends. Even the religious people bought into the idea that one shouldn’t impose one’s values on someone else. They wanted to do good without any strings attached. So if you asked the government to do it, your personal sense of good would remain intact and you would be less criticized. Also, the churches use government more and more because the reasons for doing good have changed. The question is–What needs to change? The individual or society? You used to do good because you wanted to help the person in need have a better life by helping themselves. Later thinkers amend society, rather than the individual. Government policies were thus pursued because they made us feel good about ourselves; we were “doing something” by calling for a government program. Considerably less care was paid to whether something actually worked and benefited its intended beneficiaries. It was also a cheap and easy way out. When the government tackles a problem, you have a lot more leisure time because you don’t have to volunteer yourself. Someone else solves the problem for you while you feel morally virtuous for making grand statements about what the government ought to be doing about it. *** end quote *** So there we have it. The leaders take the easy way out and let the Gooferment assume their role. I'd add that the pedophilia scandals have blunted the Church standing against the King. # - # - # - # - # |
