Joe Pender's Old Emails -- About Mark P. Fusco SJ

 



(click to enlarge)

So I was going through my old emails from Joe Pender (RIP) and I came across one where he had attended a funeral of an acquaintance of his, a Mrs. Fusco, and was amazed to discover her son, Mark Fusco, a Dwyer grad celebrating the Mass. Joe was surprised to learn that Mark had been ordained a Jesuit priest ... at age 46, I might add.

Of course, this was no surprise to me, as Mark was a boyhood, lifelong friend of my brother George. So Joe sent along these pics from the 1984 year book. 

I was amazed to see that boys football team had a female manager named Bridgette Griggs. I bet it was enjoyable for both her and team. This would never had happened ten years earlier.

If you are wondering what happened to Mark Fusco, SJ, he looks something like the pic below and he teaches religious studies at a California university.
