In 1970, she graduated from Emmanuel College with a BA. Sr. Geraldine completed a Masters of Education in Administration in 1983 at Salem State College.

Prior to coming to Bishop Fenwick in 197 4, Sr. Geraldine taught at Julie Country Day School in Leominster, MA and at Our Lady of the Angels in Worcester, MA. At Bishop Fenwick, she taught Mathematics for 9 years and served as the Mathematics Department Chairperson.

Rarely does a school event go by at which Sr. Geraldine is not present to show her undying sup­port of the students, administration and faculty of Bishop Fenwick High School.

As a Sister of Notre Dame, Sr. Geraldine is a person who embraces the dictates of St. Julie Billiart, the foundress, and embodies the Mission Statement of the Sisters ... "Making known God's goodness ... through a Gospel way of life, ... (and) by continuing a strong educational tradition - educating for life."

Father Richard Messina +

Father Richard Messina, or for those who knew him, "Fr. Dick", will always be best identified with the school for his farewell essay of 1983, "I Call the Moment 'Fenwick." Virtually every graduate since then is familiar with the fom1er chaplain's parting tome, which was his way of expressing his love for the school -the Fenwick Family.

"I'd been asked for several months to write something of my Bishop Fenwick experience, since the seniors were dedicating their yearbook to me," Father Messina, in 2009 the pastor of St. Mary's Parish in Winchester, recalled. "I was deeply honored. But I put it off and put it off some more until it was the 11th hour, the night before graduation, and suddenly at 1 a.m. the words just flowed." The result can be read near these; words that resonate with Fenwick Family members a quarter century later.

Fr. Dick had been a priest for seven years and loved parish work, as he noted, when the Archdiocese's personnel office asked him to interview for the chap­lain's post at Fenwick. "I wasn't too interested," he confessed. "When I was asked at the interview why I wanted the job, I said I didn't, but I'd been asked to come up for the interview."

The school's selection committee signed on Fr. Dick anyway, "after they told me I was the happiest priest among the fifteen they interviewed," Fr. said with a chuckle. He proved to be one of the school's finest appointments ever. His eleven-year tenure included his serving as a guidance counselor and reli­gion teacher, as well as his revamping of the religion department. He wrote several subject curriculums and got many of the coaches teaching at least one religion course a year. "I tried to make religion more interest­ing," he said. "I tried making it more real to the stu­dents, so they'd see their religion as part of the daily living experience. I was a crazy workaholic priest/chaplain in those days. I often met with parents in the evenings. There was lots of sharing. The faculty held monthly meetings at someone's house. Sister Mary Louise Burns, a long time member of the staff, was a favorite; a delightful personality. When I served at her funeral, I began my remarks by saying I knew Mary was ready for heaven, but I didn't know if heav­en was ready for her.

"A great Sister Mary Louise story: One night it's 2 a.m., Sister gets out of bed at the adjoining convent and, rather than calling police, confronts two boys breaking into the school. They're maybe in their early 20s. She orders them out of the school and that's the end of it. After she passed, it was believed that Sister was still walking the corridors at 1, 2, 3 a.m."

After departing 99 Margin Street, Fr. Dick served at Immaculate Conception in Revere for nine years, at St. Ann's in Gloucester for eight months, then became pastor in Winchester, where he has served for sixteen years. "I've always missed Bishop Fenwick," he says. "But that experience made all my future assignments that much richer."

BO TIERNEY =

Even though he attended Salem High School, Robert "Bo" Tierney knew there was something unique about Bishop Fenwick. He felt it when he attended older brother Jack's ('63) football games. He felt it when he signed on as an assistant coach for the newly-organ­ized Fenwick hockey team in 1970, and he felt it from conversations he had later with Jack, who'd returned as the athletic director from 1971 to 1973

No wonder that he enjoyed one of the longest stints of any Bishop Fenwick employee before stepping down as athletic director and hockey coach in June 2009. He completed thirty-one years as a full-time employee, thirty-three years as head hockey coach, twenty-seven years as golf coach, twenty years as assistant athletic director, eight years as assistant golf coach, seven years as a social studies teacher, short terms working with alumni and buildings operations and ten years as athletic director.

"All I wanted to be was a teacher-coach, but Bishop Fenwick allowed me to be much more," said Tierney. "I think even before I started coaching at Fenwick, thanks to my brother, I was a Fenwickian deep down. Now, after all these years, I've understood that I'd been honored every day for being able to work for Bishop Fenwick and help our students and athletes along their way."

Tierney, whose brother Dick ('63) was a standout hockey player and golfer, has indeed been a Fenwickian through and through. The confirmed bachelor logged unimaginable hours as athletic director, supervising events, driving team buses and performing a hundred and one behind-the-scenes duties over the last decade.

"My love for sports made coaching a labor of that love," Tierney said. "Serving as an AD was an exten­sion of that labor. Such great memories from such great kids to coach; the strong academic program, the Christian setting, the family atmosphere, the disci­pline, the parental commitment."

The parental commitment went double for Bob, whose late parents, John and Trudy, were still support­ing the school into their 80s before their deaths with­in six weeks of each other in 2008. 'Fenwick was a huge part of their lives," Bob said.

As a coach and athletic director, Tierney considered sports "an extension of the classroom, in which they can learn lessons they can apply to their daily lives. Sports is about setting goals, reaching as many as you can, but knowing how to graciously accept the times you come up short individually or as a team - humility."

Tierney's shining example as a role model was a crowning legacy on his devotion to Bishop Fenwick.

SR. MARIE ROSE JULIE, SND +

(Principal 1966-1972)

Sr. Marie Rose Julie is a North Shore native, born in Beverly, and grad­uated from St. Mary's Elementary and High Schools. After high school, she was interested in a business career and graduated from Lynn Burdett College. She worked in a Law Office initially, and then was employed by the United Shoe Corporation in Beverly.

But the call to become a Sister of Notre Dame presented a different opportunity, and following St. Julie's vision of the need to educate chil­dren, she prepared for the teaching profession. She graduated from Emmanuel College with a degree in English and Education, and from Boston College with a Master's Degree in English.

Her first teaching mission included the distinctive challenge of teaching 42 fifth grade boys at St. Joseph's in Somerville - one of her most enjoyable missions.

From Somerville, she went to South Boston, where she taught at Monsignor Patterson and Cardinal Cushing High. From there she went to St. Mary's Girls' High in Lynn, and during her last year there, served as Principal.

In 1966, she answered the call to become the Principal of Bishop Fen­wick, where she remained until 1972. Sr. Marie Rose Julie led the school during challenging times of the Vietnam War, and the opening and clos­ing of St. Peter's Boys' High in Gloucester and its impact on Fenwick enrollment. While Sr. Marie Rose Julie was Fenwick's leader, Ralph LeDuc was appointed as the Vice-Principal.

Upon leaving Fenwick in 1972, Sr. Marie Rose Julie served as Provincial Secretary for the Sisters of Notre Dame in Ipswich for 16 years. However, the lure of the classroom brought her back to Julie Country Day School in Leominster for 12 years until 2001, when she retired to Ipswich. She cur­rently lives at Ipswich and is engaged in community undertakings, living out St. Julie's maxim, "It's better to wear out, than to rust out!"

For Sr. Marie Rose Julie, the Fenwick years are reminders of the Good God's constant support and love for us, through the people He sends into our lives, especially during times of challenge. She believes Fenwick stu­dents, teachers, parents and friends reflect God's goodness, by helping to build the future.

Kevin's calm, pleasant demeanor and winning smile make him a memory for so many students through the years. Yet, his unassuming nature hides his great contributions to Fenwick.

MRS. RUTH LYNCH +

Mrs. Lynch is one of the earliest supporters of Bishop Fenwick. Her excursion with Fenwick began in 1963. With her late husband Edward, Ruth believed in Catholic education as a strong foundation for the family. And clearly, the Lynches have become one of Fenwick's first families.

Over the years, 12 of the 13 Lynch children attended Fenwick, and sub­sequently, 10 grandchildren have also passed through the hallowed halls. Daughters Ruthanne '66, Mary '71, Laurie '72, and Susan '80 are alum­nae. Sons Edward '67, Arthur '70, John '73, Michael '75, Steven '77, Thomas '79, David '81, and Kenneth '87 are also graduates.

That generation of Fenwick faithful is followed by grandchildren: Matthew '96, Joshua '96, Christopher '98, Katherine '99, Leanne '00, Jes­sica '01, Jennifer '01, Patrisha '02, Timothy '02, and Eileen '05. An amaz­ing 22 family members have belonged to the Fenwick family, all beginning with Ruth.

Through the years, Ruth has had faith in her family and in Fenwick. In the early years when Fenwick struggled, Ruth was known to say, "the spirit is alive and well there," and her premonition and belief have turned out to be true. Certainly the Goodness and Loyalty motto of the Fenwick seal have been exemplified in Ruth over the past 42 years.

Ruth has also been active in the North Shore community at large. Among her favorite events is the Walk for Hunger. Thank you for being a Fenwick Legacy Family.
