I started at USF with the class of 1956. At that
time I was working two jobs as well as being involved with school
activities. My grades were coming in third place. So I decided to join
the Army in order to get the G.I. bill. It was during that process of
deciding that the professors were very supportive and encouraging. That
made a great impression on me and that is part of the reason I support
USF today. After my military service I went back to USF and graduated
with the class of 1959 and went on to become a CPA. I feel very
strongly about the importance of Catholic education. In our world today
you need the spiritual guidance that a Catholic education offers. I
hope my contributions to the university help USF give more students the
gift of a Jesuit education.
