Steve (or Hugh as I remember you)
We lost touch over the last two decades, but I want you to
know what a great job you did at Marist College for the young
student Brothers. It was a time of turmoil, and you handled a
difficult situation gracefully.
Knowing you handled that situation so nicely, I don't doubt that
your subsequent activities in education were just as caring and
rewarding to the many persons you touched in vital times of
their lives.

I believe that Stephen Sheridan was Brother Hugh Ephrem. If
so, he was my freshman homeroom teacher at St. Ann's in
1952. As I lived in Jackson Heights the town next to Woodside,
I still recall how excited I was to see my teacher walking with
his parents in my neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon. I
believe he also taught me French. Unfortunately, I am now in
California getting ready to teach my first course at Chapman


University. All the good things that I learned from the Brothers
and as a Brother myself stay with me.
