Another interesting feature of the new law was the “elimination of the federal estate tax.” Upon Terry Keating (’56) closer reading of the law we find Director, Planned Giving that there are a few interesting timeframes included in this piece of legislation. First, there is a phase-in of the amount that is excluded from the federal estate tax, i.e. for 2002-2003 the credit is $1,000,000 and then escalates each year to 2010 when there is no estate tax. However, as many of you have read, effective January 1, 2011 we are back to the 2001 rates. This creates very interesting scenarios – funeral directors can look for a very slow year in 2009 with a boom year in 2010. Choose your friends carefully and watch what you eat and drink in 2010. (Just joking!) Another observation is that we will have four different Congresses between now and 2010, which means other changes may occur. In addition, we are already hearing rumblings that the surplus is disappearing and maybe Congress will have to make changes in the provisions regarding the estate tax. Stay tuned. What does all this mean for estate planning? You are advised to keep in contact with your financial planners (attorney, CPA, financial consultant, etc.) to insure that your plan meets your objectives. Making provisions for charitable organizations is still an important part of an estate plan. As we complete Phase II of the “Reclaiming Our Future” campaign it has become clear to all of us at U of D Jesuit what a significant role planned giving is to the future of the High during the course of the campaign. A number of alumni indicated that in addition to their annual gifts, that they have included UDJ in their estate plans. These gifts have a current value in excess of $5,000,000 and bring our total planned gifts to more than $12,000,000. As Fr.

Walking into an empty classroom, he looked to his right and said hello to the teacher standing behind a podium. Without the skip of a beat, Mr. Saam glanced up from his papers and said, “Hello, Mr. Kruse,” even though it had been ten years since he had last seen John. Although Mr. Saam admits that his memory does not have such reliability on a regular basis, the incident testifies to the fact that he truly cares for and remembers his students. Mr. Saam cares greatly for U of D Jesuit as an institution, as well. The High has seen many ups and downs during the past 30 years, but teachers like Saam who rode out all the storms and stayed at 8400 South Cambridge helped the school remain consistent in its philosophies and atmosphere. Mr. Saam feels there is “something special about U of D High. Whether we’ve got 500 kids or 1,000 kids, it doesn’t make any difference. I don’t think it can be summed up as simply as ‘men for others’. I think there is much more to it than that.” He cannot pinpoint its cause, but he has most certainly witnessed its positive effects. For instance, he applauds the fact that there exists very little distinction between class levels. “I’m very gratified,” he says, “by the amount of time, effort, and friendship upper classmen show lower classmen.” He also recognizes the warmth with which most faculty members now welcome new teachers into the community. Support and guidance systems in place help newcomers adjust to the environment at U of D Jesuit. When Mr. Saam came in 1968, incoming faculty did not receive much peer mentoring. “The faculty was practically all male,” Mr. Saam recalls, “and I think that was almost the right of passage for male teachers, your ability to survive in the classroom. You had the job, they put you in the classroom, and it was sink or swim.” “One of the big advantages that I had - and I think Mr. Carl Saam circa 1971.

And the support of parents teachers might hope to model their careers. Saam believes and administration, those are big factors.” Plus, as he says, that once he retires, the school will pick up and move on. “I love teaching.” “I’ve seen some great people retire, and U of D High goes on without skipping a beat,” he says. “So you really can’t get too
