This book thoughtfully captures the “heart and soul” of McBride High School. The friendships formed, the virtues instilled and developed, and the responsibility to “give back” are all beautifully described.

–John Marino, Class of 1970I’ll never forget the elation I felt when I received my acceptance letter to McBride, setting me on a path to a successful future. It has been the bond that has kept me connected with dozens of smart, multi-talented guys—with great senses of humor.

We are members of our own version of a “band of brothers. ”–George Venegoni, Class of 1967In reading this book, I am brought back to my four years at McBride .

years [that] truly laid the foundation for how we lived our lives. The book reminds us of the selfless dedication of our teachers and how they equipped us with the values and examples we needed to succeed in our chosen field, our family life, and our community life.

–Mike Milne, Class of 1963I attended McBride and still cherish those values my teachers instilled in me, especially resilience, grit, perseverance, and strong faith in God— values I truly believe allowed me to safely return home from Vietnam and to have a wonderful life. The stories about the McBride heroes should be an inspiration to all, and I strongly recommend this book to, not only McBride alumni, but to anyone interested in personal improvement.

–Joe Laffleur, Class of 1965The distinguished authors of this book have adeptly captured the essence and foundation of all who were fortunate to be associated with McBride High School. The sections on Lies and Truths, backed up by focus on noteworthy Men of McBride, are particularly inspirational and thought-provoking.
