JEMAIL: Flynn, Bro. Gregory (MC1957) -- hunger doesn't mean 'late for dinner'2015-Nov-23ADDIS HOPE DESTITUTE CHILDRENS PROGRAM Dear Donor Partner of Addis Hope, November 26th, Thanksgiving Day in the States, is a happy day of feasting and gratitude. We in Addis Hope are grateful that our destitute, marginalized children will have at least one hot meal every school day thanks to our generous donor partners. Explaining this is no mean feat, since it is dificult to explain being hungry to some who may think that means being late for dinner. We are thankful that the Good Lord has inspired our partners to give generously without counting the cost; that their hearts are open to our children who can do nothing material for them in return except remembering them in daily prayer – a great return on any investment. We hope that you will set a place at your table for one of them this Thanksgiving. Enjoy the blessings of the day!

I don’t understand the context of Hugh being used by young women for “career advancement” is anything other that just sad for all involved. And, while I hate “the sin”, it’s not my job to judge the sinner. At the end of the road for Hefner and Sheen is the sad loneliness of a wasted life.] # - # - # - # - # 2015-Dec-01 @ 09:54 |

JFACEBOOK: Trynosky, Stephen K. (MC1968) donates to Incarnation School2015-Dec-01Stephen K. Trynosky 49 mins · So, now we have a giving Tuesday after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Well, Manhattan College just asked for money, again. This is my reply . # - # - # Dear Gabrielle, I have thought long and hard over the past few years about “giving” to Manhattan. As a graduate of the Prep and the College, I realize the wonderful, affordable education I received from 1960 through 1968. Manhattan was the “step up” for myself and my classmates from the Prep. We, the children of predominantly blue collar low to moderate income workers broke free with that education and it is appreciated. Over the past decades, I have seen Manhattan’s tuition skyrocket. If I, an old Washington Heights boy were suddenly transported from 1965 to 2015, in the same circumstances with a mother working part time and a father working as a bartender for a major hotel in the city . Manhattan would have been out of my reach, far out of my reach. I have re- evaluated things. I am a product of the Catholic School system and proud of it. Over the years I have watched the grammar schools struggle and die while places like Manhattan just keep on building new buildings for less students than they had in my era. The schools that got us off the streets and drilled us to become successful disappear, one after another year after year while Manhattan doubles and then triples the size of its administrative staff. The memories of the good nuns and brothers who educated us are with me as if it were yesterday yet I see those who are left struggle in retirement as the cost of a four year education at a “Catholic” college or University goes north of $ 200,000. This year as I have for the past three, I will give the gift of education. I intend to bundle every educational gift I have made in the past to Manhattan, St. Joseph’s, St. Peters, Don Bosco High School, St. Peters Prep into one gift, then double it and send it off to somewhere it is needed, badly. In this case, Incarnation School at 175th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue in Washington Heights. There, they continue to educate the children of low and moderate income predominantly Dominican families who have replaced my generation. Perhaps someday, those very children will be able to compete for the few available, affordable spaces at places like Manhattan. Cardinal Dolan, who said Mass at our 50th Grammar School reunion a few years back told an anecdote about being accosted at a building dedication on a college campus (Manhattan?). An alum, badgered him first about the huge donation (millions and millions) he had made to build this edifice. Then about the Cardinal closing his former grammar school. The Cardinal turned and said, “Had you taken one of those millions and given it to the school that gave you a start in life, it never would have closed.” That story was an eye opener for me. I only wish that I had a million to give. So, it is with some regret that I decline the offer to contribute to Manhattan. There are places, more important, that need it much more. Sincerely, Stephen K. Trynosky ‘68 # - # - # - # - # 2015-Dec-01 @ 13:03 |

I think I had the assignment because it was deadline day and no one else could be spared. When I arrived back at the office, I was told that they needed my story right away rather than next week to fill an unexpected hole. I had 90 minutes. For a cub reporter that was the equivalent of being down by one run with two outs and the bases loaded. I wrote faster than I ever have and my editor pulled me aside and told me it was my best writing all summer, "From now on," she said, "you always have 90 minutes to write your stories."
