Old St. Joseph's Church
Philadelphia, PA
I had the pleasure of enjoying some time with two of my classmates from Prep 1959, Al Chinappi (left) and Jesuit Ed Dougherty (right). Next to Ed is one of our high school teachers, Jerry McAndrews.
I will always remember Mister McAndrews, S.J. one day after class calling a self-conscious 17-year-old to his desk in the front of the room and asking me why I wasn't doing better work in his class. I thought I was working as hard as I could but he knew that I wasn't working smart. To this day I remember that lesson though I find it difficult to put it into action.
