Your generosity is of consequence

t is said, “What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little
consequence. The only consequence is what we do.” And, you, Saint Thomas Academy’s
benefactors, do it.
You provide the essential support that maintains and strengthens this enterprise we
value and that is of consequence. With the start of the new school year, we have taken
possession of the new building you have provided, Flynn Hall. And, that is of consequence.
Much needed classrooms, band and choir rooms adequate to the number of students
enrolled, art studios, remodeled science rooms, athletic facilities and gathering spaces are
the result of your generosity. Your participation in the Defining Moment Capital Campaign
made it all possible. Thank you for sharing the dream and making it happen.
Your annual support to the Aquinas Fund is essential to the Academy’s daily operation.
This past year, you donated more than $1.3 million that allowed us to provide financial
assistance to 40 percent of our student body. Two hundred and seventy students
could access an Academy education as a result. And that is a living and breathing
consequence of your generosity. That, indeed, is doing it. And, it is a long

tradition of support that you have followed and strengthened.
Archbishop John Ireland, our founder, knew what it took financially to start
and operate a school. He, in fact, was the first benefactor, giving the land for the
school and personally donating most of the money for the first building. Hence he
founded both the school and the long tradition of financial support. He wisely
knew that it would take regular contributions to maintain the reality of his
new school.
On behalf of the students and the entire Academy community,
thank you for your generosity and for keeping the tradition of
support alive.

He was 19 years old.
Indeed, the Academy became like a home to the young
man. “It gave me continuity and camaraderie and lifelong
friends,” he said.
But the Academy’s greatest gift, Garberg says, has
been his Catholic faith. Having grown up a Protestant, the
cadet flourished in the Academy’s Catholic environment, and
the seeds were sown.
After graduating in 1941, Garberg went into the U.S.
Army Reserve, and in 1942, was called to active duty in the
7th Infantry Division at Fort Ord, CA. There the young 2nd
lieutenant met a regimental priest who gave him instruction

Edward G. Hames ’36
Alumni Honors Award
Since 1969, the Saint Thomas Academy Alumni Association
has honored a leader in our community with the Alumni
Honors Award, which was later renamed the Hames Alumni
Honors Award in 1971. The award is named for Edward
G. Hames ’36. During his days as a student at the
Academy, Hames was Cadet Colonel, an Eagle Award Winner
and a leader in school activities. He was a teacher and also
presided over the STA Alumni Association in 1967-68 and was
serving on the STA Board of Directors in 1970 at the time of
his death.
The Hames Award seeks to give due recognition to those
alumni who have exemplified the ideals of the Academy, and in
doing so have distinguished themselves in their communities.
Such alumni enrich the lives of those about them through their
personal and family lives, their occupations or professions,
their civic leadership or human welfare activities, their
intellectual or cultural pursuits or their efforts to advance the
goals of the Academy.

1992 – William Foussard ’72

(Top) Family members joined Garberg at the naming of the
Garberg Wing at Saint Thomas Academy. (Bottom) At the
naming event, Garberg was congratulated by Headmaster
Thomas MIch and Archbishop John Nienstadt.
“A true American hero, James Garberg is the epitome
of the ‘Greatest Generation.’ He answered his nation’s call
and served with uncommon valor. His gallantry in action
and service to men under his command demonstrates
foundational leadership at its finest,” said Commandant
of Cadets Michael DePuglio, Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.),
U.S. Army.
“Along with his family and his Catholic faith, his
greatest source of pride is being an Academy graduate,”
DePuglio said. “For more than 70 years, he has given of
himself to ensure the Academy remains strong and we are
the better for it.”

arlier this year, the Rev. Dennis Dease stepped down after 22 years as president of the
University of St. Thomas (UST). During his tenure, UST grew to become the largest private
university in Minnesota.
While he is best known in his role as a college president, Fr. Dease is a priest who has
shared his talents in many ways, over many years — as a parish pastor, classroom teacher,
seminary counselor, academician, community leader and a humble humanitarian bringing
health care to rural Ugandans.
His long-time friend and colleague Fr. Michael O’Connell ’59 summed it up
this way: “Fr. Dease has served the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis in a
remarkable and gifted way.”

Fr. Dennis Dease
D
ennis Dease was born in Minneapolis to devout
Catholic parents, but spent most of his youth on
family farms west of the Twin Cities. One of eight
children, he loved working in the fields, caring for farm
animals and the freedom of the farming life.
As a boy, he had thought of becoming a priest, but by
high school, his thoughts were elsewhere. In his senior year,
he applied to St. Thomas College to study business.
That’s when a priest at his school took him aside. “He
told me he thought I had qualities for the priesthood and that
I should consider enrolling in seminary,” Fr. Dease recalled.
“He set up an interview for me at Nazareth Hall Preparatory
Seminary. I decided to try it for a semester and see.”

helping them discern their calling. Three years later, he went
on to earn his Ph.D. in systematic theology at the Catholic
University of America in Washington D.C., where he studied
under the late Cardinal Avery Dulles, who became his advisor,
mentor and friend. He returned to the classroom but this time
at the college level as a faculty member in the UST theology
department. “I came to love the give and take of the college
classroom, and the interaction with students,” he said.
Fr. Dease next served as spiritual director and dean of
formation at Saint Paul Seminary for six years. During that
period, he reconnected with the Academy as a member of
STA’s Board of Trustees. He remembers “being pretty young
and more of a learner among some very talented people on
that board.” He served on the search committee that selected
Pat Casey as headmaster in 1978.
In 1970, Fr. Dease taught at
Saint Thomas Academy.

Fr. Dease’s career took a turn in 1985, when he returned
to the pastorate as rector of the Basilica of Saint Mary in
Minneapolis.

presidency of UST. At the time, he had served on the
school’s board of trustees for a number of years while also
teaching on a part-time basis.
Out of a national search of 54 priests from around the
country, Fr. Dease was selected to succeed Monsignor
Terrence Murphy, and in July 1991, he became the college’s
14th president.
Over the next 22 years, under Fr. Dease’s leadership,
the university flourished, adding six major buildings to the
St. Paul campus and establishing a Minneapolis campus
of four buildings to house the Opus College of Business,
Schulze School of Entrepreneurship, School of Education,
Graduate School of Professional Psychology, and School
of Law.
Among the many developments during his tenure
were the following:
• Establishment of the nationally recognized
Centers for Catholic Studies and Irish Studies.
• Opening of a residential campus in Rome and
semester-abroad programs there for Catholic
Studies students as well as programs in London
for business majors, in Paris for liberal arts
majors, and in Glasgow for English majors.
• Establishment of a number of faculty and student
exchange programs with universities around the
world, including a covenant with the University of
Havana in 2000.
Now as president emeritus, Fr. Dease eschews
taking credit for all that has been accomplished during
his presidential years, stating that running a university
“is really a team sport.”

The Opus Sancti Thomae Award was established in 1992 to honor friends and affiliates of Saint Thomas Academy. This award
recognizes both men and women who have made outstanding contributions to business, civic, church, educational and professional
communities. We honor their respective characters and achievements with this medal, designed by the Reverend Thomas Kolar,
deceased faculty member. Its centerpiece is an encircled Jerusalem cross. Embedded sapphires grace each bar of the cross and
representations of the two Academy logos denote its place of origin.

First Teaching Job
Roncalli Catholic high school, Manitowoc, WI, in 1985. “Since
then, my career has taken me to positions in public schools of western Wisconsin and
suburban Twin Cities.”
Hobby
“After a protracted absence from fitness, healthy eating and exercise of any kind,
I completed my first marathon in 2006. In 2010, I was fortunate to qualify for, and complete, my
first Boston Marathon. This October I will run my eighth Twin Cities Marathon. I’m hoping to
qualify again and return to Boston.”
Fact of Interest
“I’m an unapologetic Wisconsin Badger and Green Bay Packer fan
(I’m also an ‘owner’…a claim that no Viking fan can make!!!).”
A Teaching Moment
“I enjoy the ‘Aha!!!’ moments. It’s always satisfying when you
assist a student in overcoming a musical challenge.”
Brush with Fame
“I’m dating myself, but in my youth, I once met game show host
Allen Ludden (Google him students) and his wife Betty White. She was old then too…”
Favorite Experience
“I really enjoyed our recent tour to Austria and Germany.
I never tire of watching students experiencing a new culture, currency, food and language,
and then realizing that people, the world over, are really all the same.”
Why I teach at STA
“I have been fortunate to work in communities that value and
support education. It is always gratifying to work in a place where students, staff and parents
are partners, all committed to the education of our students.”

“We are new cabin owners and are lucky to be able to
spend a fair amount of our free time on the waters of the Chippewa Flowage in northwest
Wisconsin. A close second would be enjoying a pretzel and cold beer in any number of small
Bavarian villages looking at the Alps.”

In Memoriam
John “Jack” William Zahr
December 18, 1954 – September 10, 2013
STA 1977 – 2013
[Editor’s note]
There is a T-shirt in the school bookstore that states, “Bleed Cadet Blue.”
This statement aptly applies to Jack Zahr. The STA students never had a greater
fan — he celebrated their wins and commiserated their losses. He wore his heart on
his sleeve and always wanted the best for the students.
Jack’s family always came first in his life. Even so, his wife Jan and daughters
Laura (Visitation ’11) and Becky (Visitation ’13) missed many hours of husband/dad time
because his role as Director of Athletics and Activities meant many long hours away
from home.
On these pages, colleagues remember our friend. We were not able to fit all
tributes and invite you to visit cadets.com /magazine for everyone’s remarks.
Also, we invite you to visit http ://www.caringbridge.org /visit/jackzahr to read
the hundreds of comments people shared about Jack.
He will be missed…
Tributes to Jack...
“Jack was a true mentor for me personally as a coach and as a person.
He also impacted so many young men positively as a coach and athletic
director.” — Tony Kinzley
“He came to see me shortly after his flight in the F-18 Hornet with the Navy’s
Blue Angels. Jack, sitting in my office, was describing his flight...twisting and
turning his hands and body as if he was actually flying again. He interrupted
himself several times by saying: ‘I should have gone into the military...wow,
what a thrill!’ His smile was ear to ear and he told the story with the swagger
of an experienced fighter pilot.” — LTC Michael DePuglio
This page, top to bottom:
“Jack is ‘old school,’ a positive phrase because he was a gentleman in the
true sense of the word. He always listened, shared stories about his family,
took the time to chat, and loved decorum and tradition. I really enjoyed
listening to his tales about the early days at STA. One always knows that,
when things are running smoothly, the right person is in charge, and so it
was with Jack and the athletic program.” — Donna Isaac
“May I always remember the genuine sense of loyalty, care, fairness and
justice, that I have observed in Jack for these treasured years.”
— Julius Tangwe
“I’ve coached Middle School sports for a long time at STA and have needed
help from Jack on many occasions. He always treated me as if 7th and 8th
grade sports were just as important as any varsity sport. He was one of the
kindest gentleman I have ever worked with.” — Kevin Zenner
“Jack was a tireless and passionate advocate for Saint Thomas Academy.
His contributions and accomplishments will stand the test of time.”
— Pat Callahan

Tributes to Jack...
“For more than three decades Jack Zahr dedicated himself to
the physical health of the STA student body. His legacy is the
students he taught in P.E. and health, the athletes he coached
in cross country, track, hockey and soccer, the coaches he
mentored and supported, and the sports facilities he helped
build and manage as athletic director. His students, athletes,
coaches, and this community all owe Jack Zahr our admiration,
our respect, and our thanks.” — Tom Weber
“Working with, and knowing Jack, these last 25 years has been
a joy. Since Jack’s daughter, Laura, and my son, Todd, were the
same age, we shared the pain and joy of sending our children off
to kindergarten and, later, to college together. We laughed and,
at times, held back tears as we shared with each other that mix
of emotions that comes with watching your children grow up.”
— Wendy Fox
“Integrity, honesty, loyalty, moral, kind, caring, faith — these are
just a few of the words I would use to describe Jack. He was a
man small in stature but he had the heart of a giant.
His family was his number one concern — his love for Jan
and the girls was unending. He would spend about ten minutes
every Monday, and sometimes longer, telling me about a great
weekend he had with Jan, or how proud he was of Laura being
accepted to Pharmacy school at Drake University, or how excited
he was that Becky decided to stay close and attend St. Kate’s.
He would absolutely glow whenever he spoke about any one of
them. And, as anxious as he was to tell me about his family he
never failed to inquire about mine.
Jack had always asked me to finish out the next six years
with him until he retired — ‘Oh, how I wish we could have!’”
— Julie Marks
“Jack wore many ‘hats’ and wore all of them well. He will be
remembered as a son and brother, a dedicated family man,
an effective teacher, an outstanding track and cross country
coach, an excellent activities director, a tireless advocate for the
coaches and cadets, and a loyal friend to many.” — Bill Culbertson
“As a coach, Jack enjoyed winning. But the most important thing
was to win the right way. Whether it was his distance runners or
STA fans in the stands, he held high standards for performance
and behavior. The reputation of STA in the state was deeply
important to him, and he was as proud of compliments about
student behavior as we were about performance in competition.”
— Doug Hoverson
“It was easy to like Jack. His kind and gentle manner made it
easy to be around him. The last few years Jack and I would carve
out a few minutes towards the end of each day to just sit and
talk. We talked all the time about the ‘brotherhood’ here at STA.
Jack lived that. I miss Jack every time I walk by his office on the
way to my classroom. I miss his gentle and kind manner, and his
willingness to help others. STA is a much better place because
Jack was here.” — Dave Ziebarth

Though Jack’s presence will not soon be
forgotten on Saint Thomas Academy’s campus,
many people have suggested that “something”
in the new Vincent J. Flynn Hall should be
named in Jack’s honor. To date, almost $5,000
has been received as memorial gifts in Jack’s
name. This is an inspiring outpouring of respect
and affection for our friend, teacher, mentor and
colleague from many generous benefactors.
Recently an anonymous couple asked what
it would take to name the Director of Athletics
and Activities office in Jack’s name. When told
that naming opportunities in Flynn Hall are
$25,000 and $5,000 had already been donated
in Jack’s name, they immediately offered a
challenge to the STA community: They will
donate up to $10,000 as a challenge match.
Beginning October 1, if $10,000 is donated
in Jack’s memory by December 31, this couple
will match up to $10,000, for a total of $20,000.
With the $5,000 already donated, that would
be at least $25,000 and the Director of
Athletics and Activities office would be
named in Jack’s honor.
If you haven’t already done so, please
consider making a gift in Jack’s name. Your gift
will help complete the funding of Vincent J. Flynn
Hall and forever memorialize the 36 years of
dedication, commitment and love that Jack Zahr
gave to Saint Thomas Academy. Thank you.

a gift — Chris Ritten ’80 at 651-683-1594

Prof. LeRoy “Buster” Brown is 100!
On September 5, more than 200 people celebrated the 100th birthday of Prof. LeRoy “Buster” Brown, who taught
physics at STMA from 1943 to 1963. Pete Ritten ’51, George Schnell and Dr. Chris Knoedler honored Brown
before he shared with guests memories of his Academy days and his work advancing Catholic education. The festive
event was held in the new Flynn Hall. Please visit our Shutterfly account to see 300+ photos of the party —
