Iowa State football players credited with saving woman's life while on spring break
Published April 02, 2016 FoxNews.com
*** begin quote ***
Iowa State current and former football players are being credited with saving a woman’s life last month after her car plunged into a canal during spring break on South Padre Island in Texas last month.

"Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world. And whoever saves a life, it is considered as if he saved an entire world.” — Talmud
“If you save a life, you are responsible for that life forever.” — A Chinese proverb
Not sure which it is,
But these men, clearly risking their own lives, are “life savers”.
It’s a big deal and I hope we all can get the chance to be “heroic”.

COMMENT: Twomey, John J. (MC1969) agrees with Keyes choices

Keyes has no regrets after …
John, Re: Buster Keyes decision to join the Army instead of graduating from Manhattan, I would say that after 38 years in the Army serving his country and his continued service in helping his military brothers and sisters that he made choices in life that are second to none.

[JR: That’s interesting speculation, but we will never know what was possible? As equally as possible that he finishes Manhattan, goes to medical school, selects to research cancer or athletes foot, and finds a cure. IMHO that is the hard part of “human action”, we can never rewind the clock, try something else, and see the results. Heck, the first day of his second year, he might have gotten hit with the proverbial Mack truck. It confounds the human experience because we just don’t know. That’s why “The broken window fallacy” — Frédéric Bastiat Ce u’on void et ce u’on ne void pas (That Which Is Seen and That Which Is Unseen) 1850 — is so insightful in Economics. We don’t see the unseen effects. So to, we can’t see the unseen possibilities. All we can say was “he did good” and wonder what might have been.]

John Cahill
STATE ROAD — John James Cahill, a resident of State Road, 73, died peacefully on April 17, 2016.
He was born in Manhattan, New York, on Oct. 1, 1942, the son of John Joseph and Elizabeth Vaugh Cahill. He graduated St Joseph's High School in Barrytown, New York, a novitiate for the Christian Brothers, and from Manhattan College as a member of the class of 1964 with a Bachelor of Arts in English literature. John married his wife of 51 years, Aileen, in October of 1964.
John then joined the Bank of New York where he worked for five years and entered the technology industry as a computer programmer before moving to ITT Sheraton and starting his 37-year career in the hospitality industry. John and Aileen moved with their five children from New Jersey to the Boston area to work with ITT Sheraton for the next 13 years. During his time at Sheraton, John traveled to over 70 countries, whilst moving through the ranks and eventually becoming Sheraton's first ever director of hotel computer systems. John's long career continued as CIO at InterContinental Hotels and then Denihan Hospitality Group, from which he retired in 2009.
John was renowned in the hospitality industry and his depth of knowledge earned him a multitude of industry awards and accolades including a place in HFTP's International Hospitality Technology Hall of Fame in 1993. He is a published author, enjoyed teaching aspiring hospitality industry students, and was a favored speaker at hospitality conferences worldwide.
After retiring, John and Aileen moved to the home they built in North Carolina, near nine of their 17 grandchildren. During retirement, John became active in his new community, becoming a true local. He was heavily involved with the Yadkin Valley Rotary including serving as president and treasurer, and became a Paul Harris fellow in 2015. John and Aileen were avid supporters of the Elkin Valley Trails Association and were often seen walking their labrador, Dixie, along the trail.
At St. Stephen parish, John was a lector, eucharistic minister, the finance director, and Confirmation sponsor to his son-in-law, Barry. He is survived by his wife, Aileen; his three daughters, Mary Blackburn and her husband Barry of Elkin, Aileen Blass and her husband Brett of Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, and Margaret Rogan and her husband Frank of Sammamish, Washington; two sons, John and his wife Vanessa of Kingsport, Tennessee, and Paul and his wife Lesley of Portage, Michigan; three sisters, Mary Mooney, Anne Ryan, and Margaret Tripptree; brother, Neil and his wife Lorraine; his 18 grandchildren, Andrew Cahill, Erin Cahill, Rose Forest, Vincent Cahill, Wagner Forest, Jarett Blackburn, Samantha Cahill, Theresa Cahill, Claire Blass, Carolyn Blackburn, Allison Cahill, Jamie Cahill, Julia Blass, Matthew Rogan, Charles Rogan, Caleb Cahill, Violet Cahill and Nora Cahill; and 25 nieces and nephews. John was also preceded in death by his sixth and youngest child, Denis William, who died at age 5 in 1979.

PRAYERSREQUESTED: Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) prays for Jeanne
2016-Apr-23Good Afternoon All,
Our Prayers are needed for Jeanne. Tom McCarthy shared the following regarding Jeanne. John and Jeanne returned from Florida on Thursday.
"Unfortunately Jeanne ended up in the hospital yesterday after having some respiratory problems, trouble breathing, and other issues (she has pulmonary hypertension, but blood levels were low so possibly anemia, possibly internal bleeding) and they're planning to keep her at least overnight again and likely a few more days.
They only got back from FL late Thursday night and they were at the hospital (Mercy) by noon Friday. They're exhausted and still reeling from the travel up from FL but Jeanne's in good spirits and was making it clear to hospital staff that she's in charge.
So keep them in your prayers. John said he'd get back with an update soon, as he would be spending the afternoon/evening with her."
Tom
Thomas A. McCarthy
Please keep Jeanne in your prayers and keep the volume up as we pray that the MDs are quickly able to find the problem and resolve it quickly. Please keep Jeanne and John in your prayers. Thank you. God Bless.

EXECUTIVE
EXCLUSIVE: Obama vows no influence in Clinton email probe, defends terror fight
Published April 10, 2016 FoxNews.com
*** begin quote ***
President Obama repeatedly vowed there would be no political influence over the Justice Department’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state -- in a wide-ranging interview with “Fox News Sunday” in which he also ardently defended his efforts to defeat the Islamic State and other terror groups amid criticism about his perceived indifference.
“I guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the Justice Department, or the FBI, not just in this case, but in any case,” Obama said.” “Nobody is above the law. How many times do I have to say it?”
*** end quote ***
There’s a Jasper connection to all this.
One can only hope that there is extra courage to go around to all involved.
This issue has the possibility fracture the nation into the elite, who don’t have to obey the rules, and the rest of us.
Regardless of politics, there has to be honesty in the “law”.
“No justice; no peace” will be confirmed in the minds of many if this process isn’t honest.
