Two Dallas Jesuit seniors turned a childhood dream into a state title just weeks before graduation and heading off to college.

Gents, missed some birthdays, will catch up on that ASAP...In the meantime, took these sh*tty photos in the last month or so. Anybody remember their relation/connection to the Class of 1988?

Looking for "Man/Men for Others" candidates ( for the year, the week, the month, whatevs) S**t, I don't care, but trying to assist '88 towards being better than the rest of those classes around us. 88' is great ( if not "underrated") and has more talent and "Man For Otherness" than most JCP classes. Send me nominees if you have a minute!

Hey Blazers of '88, classmate Rich Hull, who is dabbling in robotics ( as CEO of MISO Robotics) was just interviewed here: Cool stuff. Congrats Rich!

Hey dudes. Later in the week I'm going to have some fun and announce a "Man for Others" of the month, but have something else real quick.

A fellow 88er classmate is having some difficulty. Relatively minor stuff, but has suffered a bout with cancer, is on Disability, and had a few setbacks recently. He could use a bit of temporary financial support ( Under $100) If you'd like to be a "Man For Others" quickly and easily, shoot me an email, phone call, or text, to [email protected] 469-394-8890 and I'd be glad to explain.

Cave' Discipulae, Blazer Boys of 88!

So, some JCP 84+ 4 Birthdays this weekend! ( latent and catching up still) If you can, read through this whole post as I'm gonna switch things up a bit.

First, I wanted to add Dee Henderson and Mark Duval if they are not here already. Dee, lives in South Carolina, was on our wrestling team, works for a company "NauticEd" based in Austin, and doing great things with the "Sea Scouts" ( a relative of the Boy Scouts/Scouting America) We'll hear more from De soon. Condolences on the recent loss of his doggie, "Kali" RIP "Kali"

Secondly, as our JCP "Man for Others" of the Month, wanted to single out Mark Duval ( Lake Highlands). Mark works in the private sector as a Health and Safety Exec, but his passion is as the Director of Box4.org. Box4 is a non-profit that supports local fire departments, police, FBI and so on when they are on a "scene" or a "fire" and need help with logistics, food/hydration, cleanup etc. More on Box4.org in a separate post or newsletter. Thank you Mark, by being a "Man for Others" for our communities. ( He can be reached [email protected] ) More on that great org later.

Birthdays!

First,we have Bennett "Ben" Cloud. ( March 29th_Former operator of the "Just for Brakes" chain/brad. owner of a roofing/reconstruction company, Bennett is local to Dallas, can be seen often at the tables in Las Vegas, a proud father to a daughter and fur baby (ies)? Bennett was also a key piece in helping a Fellow Jebbie in a critical situation, and I can't thank him enough for that.

Secondly, the fabulous Chris Butler on April 1. 88's "Michael Stipe" with all the girls and so on, Chris is in North Carolina, in the software business, and still plies his trade in the musical wonderlands of the Carolina's. Chris, its not " The End of the World as we know it" ( hopefully)

Happiest of Birthdays guys, stay in touch!

Happy 56th birthday (yesterday) to our fellow 100 minus 12 JCP BlueBlazered Classmate, Tim Trevino!

I believe Tim lives in (my hood) Carrollton, TX happily married to wife Kara along with a few boys in the Trevino Clan. I believe Tim can be found pal'in around with 88 classmate, Todd Wallace, (also in the Dallas area)

If you maybe forgot, Tim was a leader of that historic '88 Soccer team that won the TCIL Championship and beat the crap out of most schools ( public or private) I think Tim went to Oklahoma City Univ, and played professionally, notching himself into the vaunted Jesuit Sports Hall of Fame. https://jesuitrangers.org/honors/hall-of-fame/tim-trevino/23

Think Tim is still involved with soccer, as a founder/Director
of the Dutch Football Club. (Send your kids, or grandkids? over!--(this was not a paid advertisement LOL) https://www.dutchfc.com/

Welp, Happy Birthday Tim! We all hope to see ya around.

Men for Others of '88 Blue-Blazerness (and ties, other uniforms, etc)

'88 leaves no man behind, so I'm trying to catch up on recent birthdays in a kinder, more loving, and hopefully awkward way.

First, I missed Charles "Chuckles" Ganc, with a bday of Feb 26th. Chuck is a special guy to me and others. A CPA, cancer survivor, and a brave man amongst us, surviving and thriving despite a number of curve-balls thrown his way. Lives in Dallas, always a loyal friend to JCP and his classmates. Much respect for that man. Happy Birthday Chuck! ( he is not related to "Chuck" Norris, also of Dallas fame. RIP, that-Chuck)

I did a crap job earlier, but re-Happy Birthday to Mark Kelly ( March 10) Mark served for the U.S. Navy for some time straight outta 12345 Inwood ( thank you sir for your service, seriously) Lives in Oklahoma City with his bride Carrie, and the father of a number of happy children. Stay in touch and keep us posted Mark!

( lastly, in my pic-collage, I included a former faculty-member. First one to name him/her, wins a special prize! ( not really) Have a great week guys.
