This month's Alumni Spotlight
In Memorium
Dave Lyons
NC Class of 1962
|
|
The passing of Dave "Lefty" Lyons last month was a shock to his friends, family, and to his former students. Many alumni shared comments and stories about him and his influence on them. Here some of the many that we received.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for North Catholic teachers, there is no doubt that Mr Lyons would occupy a prominent position on that mountain. As the longest tenured teacher in North Catholic history there is no question of his profound influence on his many students as a teacher and coach.
While I never had him as a teacher, Dave's preparation for class demonstrated to me what it takes to be a dedicated educator. I learned that if I wanted to be a good teacher, taking a day off in class was something that just was not good teaching. Having a good sense of humor was a plus for Dave and it showed me that i shouldn't take myself too seriously in the classroom. I also enjoyed Dave's dry wit in our times in the faculty lounge after school. I know he will always be with me, but I miss him dearly." ... Walt Quinn ('65)
"I am so sad to hear about his death. He truly was a great teacher, with an interesting sort of humor and a method of transferring information into unfocused teenage minds. I really admired him for remaining so calm in the midst of occasional disruptions. He never seemed to get rattled, as if he was secretly laughing. " ... Dr Cindy Smetanka ('79)
"One of my favorite history teachers! I remember so clearly learning about WWI and WWII from him and wishing there was more time in the year to cover more recent wars, because he explained things so well. The documentary about Mr. Lyons and other Pgh educators going to Auschwitz was on in the past year. I was so proud of him getting selected for that honor!"
... Noreen Scanlon Danello ('94)
"Coach was a tremendous teacher, coach and friend. I value the time I ran for him on the North Catholic cross country team and the time my wife and I spent with him and Marianne after we moved back to Pittsburgh. His inspiration and guidance are two of the main reasons why I pursued running after high school, and he encouraged me to follow through on my pursuit of journalism as my profession. Generations of North Catholic students are grateful for his insight and professionalism in the classroom, on the basketball court and on the cross country trails. He will never be forgotten by all who knew him. May his memory be a blessing to all of us."
... Joe Koch ('73)
|
|
"Just wanted to say, that Mr. Lyons was a great guy, a terrific basketball coach and a really good teacher. He truly bled red and gold. He had the ability to always think you can do better and you did not want to let him down. He would not let you take a back seat to anyone. And as long as you were part of NC, he always had your back and support. He was able to do all this with a great dry sense of humor, some of his "quips" were legendary. One example, we were playing Ford City at their place in a JV basketball game, we went up there in a snowstorm. Anyway, we were not playing very well to say the least and he told one of our guys at halftime he couldn't cover a toilet seat. And there are so many more like this........Rest in peace Coach" ... Jerry Sestric ('80)
"Truly an NC icon- I feel blessed to have known him as a teacher & coach... the lives he has impacted is amazing!" ... Molly Larkin Rottman ('89)
"Good teacher great guy, 50 years later and still think about the impact he had on my life."
... Bill Cunningham ('73)
"I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. He is who inspired my brother to become a history teacher."
... Jess Hartman ('09)
"So sorry to see this news. He was a great guy. I will always appreciate reading Flag of Our Fathers because of him." ... Rachel Frederick Zimmerman ('05)
|
|
"So sorry for your, and North Catholic’s loss. I think I speak for many of us when I say I learned a lot from him...and not just what he was teaching from the textbook." ... Paul Morris ('88)
"To echo the comments of others, we don’t realize the impact that you all had on us at North until long after we left the halls of Troy. I know for me, the lessons I learned from my teachers in high school, often times the stuff outside of the classroom, is what sticks the most. So for that, I say thank you to all of you! And may Mr. Lyons rest in peace." ... Marty Cardi ('83)
" He was a wonderful teacher. I still remember one of his quotes:
Victory is never final
Nor defeat ever fatal
But courage is everything" ... Madeline Wahl ('93)
"Now, for what it’s worth, Dave Lyons was an incredible man who embodied all that North Catholic is, teaching there for 47 years. He loved his students and we loved him back.
The Dave Lyons method of taking notes was invaluable in college, the basketball stories always riveting, the intimate knowledge of the French Revolution and the succession of the British crown coming in clutch for Jeopardy or any trivia night.
When I first heard the news, I had just turned on Flags of Our Fathers and it was like that’s the way he wanted me to hear. The next 2 hours flew by and every second reminded me of a man who loved history more than anyone I’ve ever met.
I’ll never forget him and the happy memories connected to him. It’s really impossible to forget someone that influential on your life. No book or documentary I read or watch will ever be the same, whether it’s about the Magna Carta or WW1 because that’s how much ground you covered in Lefty Lyon’s Western Civ.
Love you Mr. Lyons, I hope you’re enjoying a cold one with Uncle Colie talking about that perfect state title season." ... Brian Miller ('13)
...And there were so many more.

Military Legacy Scholarship
North Catholic has a Military Legacy Scholarship in honor of all alumni who have served in our nation’s military forces. The goal is to provide a $1,000.00 scholarship annually. To date we have raised over $30,000 to fund this annual scholarship. The scholarship is awarded annually to the student provided certain benchmarks are met. Every 4 years (or sooner) it is awarded to an incoming 9th grade student.
If you wish, you may make a contribution in someone's honor/memory. Donations can be made by sending checks payable to North Catholic, write "North Catholic Military Scholarship" in the memo, and mail to:
North Catholic High School
1617 Route 228
Cranberry Township, PA 16066

The John Latulippe Memorial Scholarship
The John Latuilippe Memorial Scholarship has been awarded to Gabriel Grindstaff - NC class of 2024. Thank you to all who have donated.

Class of 1965 Legacy Scholarship
The Class of 1965 Legacy Scholarship continues to grow. To date, our classmates have raised over $35,000 in donations and pledges. Special shout out goes to ART MURPHY for his donation of $10,000. A big thank you to BILL GUBANIC for his generous donation this month.
The award for the 2020-2021 school year have been made to sophomores Thomas Zizan and Kaitlyn Kenaan. They are children of NC alums Dan Kenaan ('91) and Julie Rogalla ('87) and received $1,000 to help with tuition. Both students were on the first semester high honor roll.
We need the help of our classmates to grow the scholarship fund. If we can get more of our classmates to step up and help keep our legacy scholarship fund growing, there is no end to what the money can do to help a student to get the great education that North provided to us and continues to do so today. No contribution is too small. If you have questions, feel free to contact Bob Colbert (bobcolbert@comcast.net) or Walt Quinn (quinn.walter@comcast.net)
Thanks also to classmateS WAYNE BYERLY and DENNY CRIBBINS for committing to making a monthly donation. They join a number of fellow classmates including Wayne Young, Walt Quinn, and Bob Colbert who have been making a small monthly donation for the past three years that is put on their credit card. As Bob said, "it's less that the cost of a bottle of wine." If you would like to contribute a small monthly amount via your credit card, contact Amber Nicotra Morrison to set it up.
Class of 1969 Scholarship
At the 50th reunion in 2019, the Class of '69 pledged to raise $10,000 to show our support and appreciation for North Catholic's continuing work of educating young men and women.
To date, more than $7,000 has been raised by fifteen (15) classmates who have contributed. The fact that you contribute says that you stand with the Class of '69 and that is more important than the amount. Please help our class meet this very worthy goal and show the NC community that the Class of '69 remains "Forever True."
When you donate (online or check) please indicate Class of 1969 with your gift. If you need more information, please feel free to contact Joe Bradley(812-216-0394) or Amber Morrison at amorrison@northcatholic.org.

Kathy Monti Memorial Scholarship
|
|
Kathy Hickey Monti's limitless love and passion for helping others was apparent to everybody she met. Her pride for North Catholic began in 1973, when her high school closed and she enrolled in the first co-ed class at North as a junior. Kathy led the charge to keep her school's basketball team together. As a standout guard and the very first team captain of North's first women's basketball program, Kathy and her fellow Trojanettes began a women's basketball dynasty that is alive and continues to thrive today. Following her graduation from North in 1975, Kathy played basketball in college and served as team captain and leader. Soon, she was recruited to come back to North and take on the role of Assistant Basketball Coach for the girl's team and with Coach Don Barth, her mentor, friend and former coach, led them to win multiple state championships. When North opened in Cranberry Township, Kathy continued to volunteer her time at the new school that she loved so dearly until her last breath. In 2017, just before her death, Kathy was voted unanimously into the North Catholic Hall of Fame. Kathy will long be remembered for her impact on hundreds of lives as a teacher, an assistant basketball coach and female role model for girls in athletics.
To continue Kathy's legacy and mission in life of helping others, a scholarship has been established in her name. More than $20,000 has already been raised. The purpose of the Kathy Monti Memorial Scholarship is to provide financial support for a young woman who possesses the same leadership qualities that Kathy demonstrated in her life. This year's recipient is Dacia Lewandowski, NC '23. If you'd like to donate to this scholarship, please click here or checks can be sent payable to North Catholic with "Kathy Monti Scholarship Fund" in the Memo and mailed to North Catholic High School, 1617 Route 228, Cranberry Township, PA 16066.

Thanks to many of you, our list of alumni who have served in our nation's military services has grown to almost 1,500. We thank all of you who have taken the time to help us with this endeavor. Perhaps you have noticed that recently an asterisk has been added next to name of more than two dozen individuals on the list. This indicates the individual died while in the military, either Killed in Action or a non-battle death. There may be more alumni who died while serving. If you know of someone that should have the asterisk added next to their name please let us know. We will always appreciate your efforts to help us update this honor roll of our alumni.
Thank you to all of our alumni for their service to our country!

Career Development
Welcome to Jessika Coltz, North Catholic's new Career Development Program Coordinator. Jessika takes over the position previously held by Jennifer Parsons, who left to pursue other interests. We thank Jennifer for her time at North and wish her all the best! Jessika looks forward to working with North Catholic alumni and has this message to share:
"I'm so glad to be here at North taking over the program my predecessor, Jen Parsons worked to build. My name is Jessika Coltz, I'm most recently from the Ellis School, but have been in education as an administrator and teacher for years. As Career Development grows, I look forward to partnering with alumni to provide offerings for our students that help them explore what paths they might take in life. I hope to provide experiences for students that show them what's possible, pique their curiosity, and help them find resources to explore options. I welcome any and all opportunities to partner with alumni in this process. We will be hosting speakers on campus virtually as well as hoping to resume in-person events, field trips, and college visits as COVID protocols allow. Please let me know if you're interested in talking more!"

In the Classroom
Seniors in Mrs Makar's Economics classes participated in a "Shark Tank" project. Students were encouraged to create an original prototype, develop a business plan, and pitch their idea to their classmates who in turn chose which products to invest in. Product ideas included an app called "Pokely" where users could be reminded to contact grandma or touch base with a friend, a toothbrush that dispenses toothpaste, and a tube that shags baseballs.

Planned giving is a wonderful way to prepare for the day we depart this life and enter into God's kingdom. By planning ahead, you can provide opportunities to young men and women by supporting North Catholic. Planned giving allows us to help continue the work of Christ and pass on our traditions and Catholic Marianist values. Gifts can be specified in one's will as either a dollar amount of a stated percentage of one's estate. A growing number of alumni have taken this step and discovered a great sense of joy and satisfaction that they are helping families.
