  • Giant of a Man: Jack Lummus
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 9, No. 5 (1987) GIANT OF A MAN: JACK LUMMUS By John Gunn Reprinted from the Orange County Register, July 27, 1986 The Marine Corps lieutenant, after relentlessly leading his platoon against Japanese positions on Iwo Jima for two days and nights and almost single-handedly wiping out three fortifications, stepped on a land mine just before the unit reached its objective in the bitter World War II campaign. His legs were blown off. But after Lt. Jack Lummus, 29, of the 27th Marine Division, was carried on a stretcher to an aid station, he told a surprised surgeon, "I guess the New York Giants have lost the services of a damn good end." His stamina enabled him to remain conscious and he raised himself briefly on an elbow. Through the ordeal, he often smiled. But despite the transfusion of 18 pints of blood, he died from the land-mine blast and earlier wounds on D plus 17 (17 days after D-Day), March 8, 1945. He was among the 1,101 Marine officers and 22,056 enlisted personnel killed or wounded in capturing the 7-square-mile, pork-chop- shaped island and its 1,500 caves and 30 miles of tunnels. "His dauntless leadership and unwavering devotion to duty throughout sustain and enhance the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life in the service of his country," said the Medal of Honor citation signed by President Truman. From such accounts are legends born. But Lummus, an end with the Eastern Division champion New York Giants of 1941 and one of two National Football League players to win the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for heroism, largely had been forgotten.

  • Committee's Cover Letter to Fr. Jenkins
    July 25, 2019 Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C. President University of Notre Dame 400 Main Building Notre Dame, IN 46556 Dear Fr. Jenkins, We are happy to communicate to you the enclosed unanimous recommendations of the Columbus Murals Committee that you convened during the spring semester of the 2018-19 academic year. You charged our committee with addressing three key questions in the wake of your letter to the University community on the feast of Rev. Basil Moreau, C.S.C., founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, (January 20, 2019), in which you communicated the University’s decision to no longer display the Columbus murals regularly in their current location. These questions were as follows: 1. How shall the University provide a place for the thoughtful consideration of the Luigi Gregori Columbus murals and the context of their composition in a setting other than their current location? 2. What will the coverings of the murals look like? 3. When and how should the original murals be displayed? The committee arrived at a consensus regarding responses to these three questions, as detailed in the attached document. In brief, the committee recommends that the University should: 1. Undertake to create an exhibition about the early history of the University in the spaces on the second floor of the Main building that will be vacated by Admissions in 2022. The proposed exhibition would include, together with high-quality reproductions, a history and discussion of the Luigi Gregori Columbus murals in their rich and varied historical contexts, as outlined in the committee’s recommendations below; 2.

  • Al Blozis: Jersey City Giant
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 8, No. 6 (1986) AL BLOZIS: JERSEY CITY GIANT By Victor Mastro, Frank Alkyer, and others You can't help but notice in Jersey City. There's the Al Blozis Hospital, the Al Blozis Little League, Blozis Hall, a senior citizen's apartment house, and several other memorials. If you didn't know, you might think Blozis was a wealthy philanthropist. Instead, he was a rugged football player. And a legitimate American hero. Al died over forty years ago while serving his country. His grave in St. Avold Cemetary in France is marked by a plain white cross. The simple inscription reads "Alfred C. Blozis 2 lt 110 inf 28 div New Jersey Jan 31 1945." Similar crosses stand over the graves of thousands of Allied soldiers who died in World War II, and America recalls their sacrifice each Memorial Day. In Jersey City, they still remember Al Blozis daily. Of the 638 National Football League players who served in World War II, 355 were commissioned as officers, 66 were decorated, and 21 lost their lives. "Blozis died during the battle of Black Mountain, near Colmar (France)," said Joseph Scott, who served in the same regiment as Blozis and now is president of Hudson County (New Jersey) Community College. Scott said he knew Blozis was in his regiment, but they never saw each other. "It (the fighting) was pretty fierce for a couple of days, considering it was cleanup duty. The war was practically over by that time." On January 31, six weeks after he'd played in the 1944 NFL championship game, Lt.

Saint Vincent's College and Theological Education John E. Rybolt, C.M Saint Vincent's College has played a role in the life of Cape Girardeau since 1838. Its faculty taught the sons of Mississippi Valley settlers, and also provided education for the priesthood from 1859 to 1893. In this 34 year period, the seminary department rose, declined, and rose again. It endured threats from post-Civil War bigotry against Catholics, and abandonment by the sponsoring bishops. Surviving rumors of an unhealthy climate, Saint Vincent's went nearly bankrupt, but managed to prepare its graduates for the priesthood where they served the West with dis- tinction-1 The Vincentian Community, established since 1818 at Perryville, began to send Missionaries to Cape around 1825.
