On Oct 29th I sang Baritone with Symphony Chorus of New Orleans, performing an Argentinian Mass called MASA TANGO - was done at the Vatican in honor of Pope Francis. In the video I am behind the piano, just to the right of the conductor. Enjoy... https://www.facebook.com/100002019902340/videos/pcb.6733359056741358/1524487535042671

Looking around the McBride site, Michael, I noticed you - were you related to bro Dan Otten. I remember having him for Religion class in about 1962 (my Junior year). A really good teacher, who took on a journey studying St. Thomas Aquinas. I remember he was from the Florissant area and sometimes walked there from McBride and I would be walking home too down Kingshighway to Walnut Park.

Joseph, I have been meaning to reach out to you with my deepest admiration for the effort you and your family has made to the McBride Scholarship Fund at Chaminade. I am part of the distinctive class of '63, of which many members are on the Planning Board for this effort and your matching funds. Every day I realize the education quality that I received at McBride and further by being a Marianist Scholastic, my BA at St. Mary's University in San Antonio. When I graduated there in '68 I was assigned to teach math & Physics back at McBride. However, I was reassigned to Fort Worth TX Nolan High. After that year I left SM and taught for another 3 years before going into utility work as an analyst, retiring from Entergy Corp in New Orleans with 35 years and a most comfortable retirement for my wife and I. Have no children to send to Chaminade, but believe in paying-it-forward for what was given to us. If I can be of help, let me know. Yours, Michael Grumich

Happy birthday, Bro. Larry. Are you, by chance, the Novice Master? Are the people of India slowly getting the vaccines now? You are in our thoughts and prayers. Michael Grumich

I saw your name come up on the McBride site - hope you and all you dear ones are doing well. Drop me a line - email is michaelgrummich@yahoo.com (NOTE there ate two-m's in the address...). Last time I saw you was playing 1-on-1 basketball at McBride in the Summer of '63, before you went college & I to the SM Novitiate.

Thanks James, for your kind comments on my first cousin Jack Schniedermeier. He was a fine fellow and I lived in the same house of our grandfather for the first 7 years of my life. Then I followed him to McBride for class of '63. Again Thanks, Michael Grumich

Joseph - thank you for the generous leadership you have provided this month - so many of us are grateful and can recite the names of friends & classmates & key teachers at McBride.

Well....! bro Larry - you seem to remember everyone else's birthdays, so we cannot let this day pass without poking you about your advancing age! Have a blessed day, Larry - good news that we got a good offer on our 100 year old carriage house (on Dominican St - was near the old Dominican College in NOLA, now part of Loyola Univ). Take care, my friend and brother...!

Hi Dennis- glad to see you join the website. Hope you and family are safe with this COVID-19 and stay-at-home orders. Wher did you teach - for me I taught for the first 4 years out of St. Mary's University. And now it has been only 5 years when I ended 35 years as an analyst with Entergy, a large 4-state electric utility in LA-TX-AR-MS. Take care...
