Vincent deBaun reports that “Hillary and I
are now pretty well settled in our retirement
community in Virginia. I am continuing to
give Lifelong Learning classes in English Lit
to what are tactfully called "seniors" and am
glad to keep my brain from ossifying. Subjects
over the years have included Great
Expectations, Hamlet, Gulliver, Jane Eyre and
other classics. Like Tennyson’s Ulysses, I do
my best “to strive, too seek, to find, and not
to yield.” Onward!
Over the past 33 years, Michael has served Fordham Prep with extraordinary
dedication and care for his students. In addition to his long tenure as a
Physical Education and Health teacher, Michael also taught a course on The
Vietnam War. As a teacher, coach and mentor, Michael has shared his gifts
and life experience with thousands of Prep students, alumni, colleagues
and friends. His constant presence at many alumni events and reunions is a
testament to his love for the Prep. He has and will continue to embody the
spirit of magis and cura personalis with kindness and generosity in the
service of our mission. For that, the Prep community is extremely grateful
and wishes him the best in his retirement.
