I spent 11 years in St Helena. Elementary and HS. (The first grrdae I went o St Pius in the South BX.) When we hit mid school the first home room teacher was Brother Stephen Laurence, a Marist Brother. It was his first year as a teacher. All through the next 6 years I had him as teacher in various subjects. I was always happy to have him as a teacher. Fast forward 50 years, he came to my high school reunion and I gave hima big hug. Fast forward about another 15 years he called me and said he was in the hospital after falliing down a flight of stairs.He was 85. We had a nice friendly chat and I wshed him well and a quick recovery. Two weeks later I heard through a fellow classmate that he passed away. It was our honor and pleasure for this man to have been in our life, class after class over all those years.RIP Larry.
