Boy did we let him have it for the next six weeks until he got his casts off.

Some of my other favorite teachers there were Pat Manzi, Jim Greene, Father Erbrick and his Kamikaze Flag hanging on test day; Fran Dougherty's Accounting package that took up the whole second half of the year.

But my fondest memories most definitely occurred as a member of North's soccer teams.
LOL. Sorry I missed that! Jim MacNew was a deacon at my parish (St Joachim's) right before he was ordained. I worked in the rectory at the time. I saw recently that he celebrated the 25th anniversary of his ordination. Boy that makes me feel old.
