MISSION
Bishop O’Dowd High School is a Catholic, coeducational,
college preparatory high school administered by the Diocese
of Oakland. The school affirms the teachings, moral values,
and ethical standards of the Catholic Church. It is a unique
and diverse community. The faculty and administration strive
to develop young men and women of competence, conscience,
and compassion through an integrated academic, spiritual, and
extracurricular program. Bishop O’Dowd High School seeks to
develop persons of influence who are loving, open to growth,
religious, intellectually competent, and skilled leaders committed
to justice and peace.
From the President
We often hear that today’s high school graduates
are not prepared for the challenges of the future. At
O’Dowd we know differently. The moral, academic
and personal strengths we witnessed in our
recent graduates ensure they will be tomorrow’s
inspirational, innovative leaders. Take a moment
to review the great colleges our 2013 graduates are
attending (page 4). Then consider that more than
70 graduates will be the first in their families to attend
college, that many received millions of dollars
in grants for academic promise, and still others were awarded athletic
scholarships. We have much to celebrate.
Despite the fact that during the past 50 years the world has experienced
a number of environmental and social crises, civilization as we
know it continues to thrive.
Not all of the dire predictions of the past have materialized. The pessimists
have always neglected to account for the insuppressible innovation
and strength of humankind. O’Dowd graduates have the skills to
utilize our exponentially growing technologies and knowledge, and a
deep appreciation for moral wisdom, to build a more just, sustainable
and prosperous world.
The foundations of today’s O’Dowd, academic excellence and Catholic
identity, have an expanded definition. Today’s world requires students
to innovate, integrate diverse skills and ideas, think critically and develop
the religious wisdom that mandates the use of their skills to build
a wonderous future for all. I promise you that we are focused on these
tasks.
Be sure to read about our new Center for Environmental Studies
(CES) (page 14) and our new Director of Sustainability (page 16), and
then go to our website to view our progress towards completing the
CES by year’s end. Information about the new Center and features
on faculty and graduates in this magazine are a few examples of how
O’Dowd is focused on achieving its mission in this era of ever increasing
change.
Next summer, we will conclude our $3.6 million campaign to fund the
CES. As of August 1, we had raised more than $2.8 million thanks to
the generosity of so many of you. Please know your continued support
for this project will benefit both our current students and future
generations.
I am especially thankful for your many gifts and investments,
listed in the Annual Report, starting on page 46, that
support O’Dowd’s mission. Please continue to pray for and
support our faculty, staff, students and their parents who are
committed to achieving the academic excellence and gaining
the moral wisdom necessary to transform the world.
Sincerely,
Stephen Phelps, Ed.D.

2013Commencement
Bishop O'Dowd High School’s 59th
Commencement was held on Sunday,
June 2, at Oakland’s Paramount Theatre
of the Arts.
On May 31, members of the Class
of 2013 and their families gathered at
The Cathedral of Christ the Light for
the Baccalaureate Mass, concelebrated
by O’Dowd chaplain Fr. Gerald Pedrera,
Fr. Paul Vassar ’63 and Deacon Noe
Gonzalez.
At the Commencement, Daylen Yang
delivered the valedictory address, while
William Du gave the salutatory address.
Joseph Raphel ’70 was presented with
a Cor Unum Award, and made brief
remarks.
Named for the school’s motto, “One
Heart in Christ,” the Cor Unum Award
is Bishop O’Dowd High School’s highest
honor. It is presented each year to select
members of the O’Dowd community
whose lives and work embody the core
values of leadership, service, social justice
and intellectual competence expressed in
the school’s mission.
Several students received special
awards during the Commencement
Exercises.
Sophie Vaughan and Daylen
Yang received the General Activity
awards, presented to students who are
distinguished by scholarship, excellence
in conduct and outstanding devotion
to Bishop O’Dowd High School
through participation and demonstrated
leadership in extra-curricular and cocurricular
activities.
Sydnei Jones and David Murphy
received the Loyalty awards, presented
in recognition of their consistent support
to the student body, staff and parents
in carrying out activities, and their
willingness to give of self in terms of
service.

5 THE DRAGON

Daylen Yang
Gaining admission to U.C.
Berkeley is tough. But securing a spot
in the prestigious university’s College
of Engineering is even more difficult.
This fall, O’Dowd valedictorian
Daylen Yang will begin his studies
in the College of Engineering’s
Electrical Engineering and Computer
Sciences (EECS) program, one of
the most comprehensive research and
instructional programs in this field
anywhere in the world.
Eventually, Yang would like to
work in the technology industry,
innovating in either green energy or
wearable computing. “Those are the
hot areas right now,” he said.
Yang believes the O’Dowd science
curriculum prepared him well for
the rigors of the EECS program.
After all, he took just about every
science and math course offered – AP
Computer Science, AP Calculus,
AP Statistics, Honors Physics,
AP Biology and AP Chemistry - all the while maintaining a 4.5+ grade point
average.
And he didn’t just bury his head in books. Yang was active in athletics, running
cross country, and participated in Mathletes. In his senior year, Yang joined the
Debate Team.
“Debate helped me develop my public speaking and critical thinking skills, as
well as my confidence,” he said.
Debate coach Jon Thorpe says that although Yang was on the team only one
year, he quickly proved himself to be one of the best parliamentary debaters in
California.
“When Daylen arrived, he was pretty raw. We knew he was brilliant, but
he was a bit rough around the edges when it came to public speaking. What
was most impressive regarding Daylen was how much effort he put towards
improving himself and making himself a valuable asset to the team,” Thorpe said.
“It was a stunning transformation to see this shy, quiet individual transform in
mere months into a confident, eloquent and engaging presence.”
Great extra-curricular programs aside, what stands out in Yang’s mind as a
hallmark of his O’Dowd education is the dedicated faculty and staff.
Whether it was an English teacher reviewing an essay he’d written, or his
counselor offering assistance with college applications, Yang says the O’Dowd
faculty and staff were always at the ready. “I appreciate all their hard work.”
O’Dowd is a unique school, Yang said. “We have academics, athletics, the arts
and a diverse population. I’ve met interesting people and made friends that I will
keep in touch with for the rest of my life.”

Kristina Lorch
Kristina Lorch ’13 found herself in
an enviable predicament in the spring.
Accepted to several of the most
selective colleges and universities
in the nation, Lorch had narrowed
her choices to two – Harvard and
Stanford.
In the end, Lorch decided to
venture east to Harvard University,
which offered seats to 2,029 students,
or 5.8 percent of a record 35,023
applicants.
Lorch plans to major in
international relations, with a
concentration in government, and
felt Harvard was be the best place to
pursue this field. “I’m hoping to study
abroad in the Middle East, maybe
Turkey, and plan on taking Arabic,”
she said.
Ultimately, Lorch would like to
work for the State Department, the
United Nations or Foreign Service.
Lorch believes that O’Dowd’s
diverse environment, breadth of curriculum, and array of extra-curricular and
faith opportunities have positioned her for success in college and beyond.
She says her participation in the Close Up government studies trip to
Washington, D.C., was particularly inspiring. “It was the first time that I was
able to see the different parts of our government in action, and the experience
got me interested in working for the Foreign Service,” she said. “It also
motivated me to get involved with Mock Trial.”
A four-year varsity tennis player, Lorch also served as Editor in Chief of
O’Dowd’s student newspaper, The Crozier, served as a Kairos retreat leader,
and was a member of the National Honor Society.
In the greater community, Lorch volunteered at the McCullum Youth
Court, a diversionary program aimed at keeping kids in Alameda County
out of the juvenile and adult penal systems, and served as a summer intern in
Congresswoman Barbara Lee’s office.
Lorch believes that she wouldn’t have had such a comprehensive high
school experience had she not attended O’Dowd. “If I had gone to another
high school I probably wouldn’t have so many different choices and grown in
the same way,” she said.
Her advice for incoming O’Dowd students? “Don’t be overwhelmed by
all the opportunities. Just explore your interests,” she said. “And, reach out to
others. I learned a lot from my classmates and my teachers.”

William Du
William Du has been excited about
science ever since the day he walked
into AP Biology as a freshman.
This fall, Du heads to Stanford
University where he plans to double
major in computer science and
biomedical computation. And his
education won’t stop there. Du plans
to go to medical school and become
a clinical researcher specializing in
oncology.
None of this surprises Science
Department Chairperson Tim
Newman, who has mentored Du the
past four years.
“He has taken advantage of every
opportunity he can to be involved in
science at O'Dowd and at the research
labs at both UC Davis and Stanford.
William presents his research regularly
in professional venues, but has also
shared his knowledge and experience
with O’Dowd students,” Newman said.
William’s passion for science has
propelled him to go beyond the limits of most students, Newman added. “He is
particularly humble about his research abilities and the technical experience and
knowledge he now has, but he clearly operates as a well-trained research scientist,”
he said.
For example, Du participated in the Stanford Institutes of Medicine Summer
Research Program last summer. This highly selective eight-week program
provides high school students the opportunity to work alongside Stanford faculty,
postdoctoral fellows and researchers on a medically-oriented project.
Invited by his mentor to continue working in the lab, Du commuted to Stanford
once a week during his senior year to advance his research project – working with
cancer data sets to determine if treatments for brain cancer can be tailored to specific
groups with particular biological markers.
“Science draws me in,” Du said. “It’s fascinating how something at the small,
microscopic level affects something as big as your entire immune system.”
Du says Newman’s encouragement, as well as the flexibility of the O’Dowd
administration in allowing him to pursue science research opportunities, has been
“immeasurably impactful” in his success. “The support for what you want to do is
amazing. If you want to do it, they’ll make it happen,” Du said.
For Du, the Class of 2013 salutatorian, the hallmark of his O’Dowd experience
can be summed up in two words - supportive community.
“People here are accepting of who you are and what you want to do. It’s a good
atmosphere to grow and mature,” he said. “I’ve made personal connections with my
teachers – some of them are like second parents to me. When I talk about that with
friends from other schools they are amazed because they haven’t had that same level
of support.”

Parting Thoughts...
O’Dowd created a nurturing yet challenging
environment so that I - and every other student
- could grow academically, spiritually and
socially as a confident, valued and supported
individual.
Nicole Ratto '13
The relationships I formed with teachers is
what I will remember most about O’Dowd.
Their knowledge spreads beyond the classroom
and helps us understand how the subject
relates to us as individuals within a larger
community.
Hedda Nguyen '13
O’Dowd provided me the tools to discover
my intellectual passions. Because of the wide
variety of classes and activities offered, I have
developed a unique appreciation and desire for
knowledge.

The Center for Environmental Studies Rises
By Tom Tyler
For two months, the 12 spadesful of
soil ceremoniously dug up during April’s
groundbreaking ceremony were the only
indication that construction for the Center
for Environmental Studies (CES) was about
to begin. But with finals over, graduation
celebrated, and the campus largely emptied of
students and faculty, crews with their heavy
machinery moved in during the first week of
June and the CES quickly began to emerge.
Fences that had stood on the north side
of the main classroom for several decades
were removed to allow access to the steep and
uneven building site. With Pankow Builders
at the helm, excavation and grading work
created a level platform for the 5,000-squarefoot
facility. As the foundation forms were
set in the earth, the outline of the building
soon became apparent – demarcating two
large classrooms separated by an office space
and adjacent to a large shared patio terrace.
Several hundred feet of trench were dug to
accommodate water and utility connections to the main campus. An elaborate cross-hatching of colorful pipes and tubes was
strategically laid in place to create a highly energy efficient in-floor radiant heating system. And, in the course of a single day, an
overlay of concrete was poured to anchor this system in place and create the main footprint of the building.

O’Dowd Hires Director of Sustainability
Bishop O’Dowd High School’s commitment to educate and inspire the
next generation of leaders and innovators who are prepared to solve the
world’s most pressing environmental challenges is now tangible.
With the construction of the Center for Environmental Studies
(CES) well underway, O’Dowd welcomed the school’s first Director of
Sustainability, Andra Yeghoian, in August.
“After interviewing a large number of excellent candidates, the Search
Committee was unanimous in its decision to offer Andra the job. The
experience she brings to the position will create a strong foundation for the
sustainability culture we wish to develop here at O’Dowd. Her professional
tone and enthusiastic presence will provide leadership and direction. We all
look forward to working with her,” Principal Pam Shay said.
In this full-time position, Yeghoian will lead a community-wide
participatory effort in the “greening” of O’Dowd, which includes creating a
strategic plan for sustainability.
Reduction and/or containment of costs for utilities, water use, waste
disposal and transportation will be a part of that plan.
Additionally, Yeghoian will administer the CES, work closely with faculty
to develop curriculum, programs and extracurricular activities that will best
utilize the new building, develop and integrate service learning opportunities
that promote environmental stewardship, and promote outreach programs
that involve the local community and the Diocese of Oakland.
“This is my dream job,” Yeghoian said. “I’m really excited about having a
leadership role in sustainability.”

Yeghoian earned a bachelor’s degree
in International Relations, with minors
in Italian and Music, from U.C. Davis,
and an MBA in Sustainable Business and
Organizational Systems from Bainbridge
Graduate Institute. She holds credentials
in Educational Administration, as well as
teaching credentials in social studies and
English (K-12) and multiple subject (K-
8) from U.C. Davis.
Previously, Yeghoian taught English
Language Arts and served as the Garden/
Outdoor Classroom Coordinator at
Pleasanton Middle School, taught AP
U.S. History at Berkeley High, and
served as a Secondary Humanities
teacher and Sustainability Coordinator
at American School of the Hague, an
international school in Holland.
Yeghoian’s interest in sustainability
was sparked by Daniel Quinn’s novel
“Ishmael,” which centers on sustainability
concepts. “That book was a big turning
point for me,” she said.
When beginning her career as an
educator, Yeghoian was dismayed to
see the disconnect between education
and ecological principles. “I started
incorporating sustainability concepts in
my curriculum,” she said. “As a result,
many of my former students have gone
on to major in environmental studies and
sustainable business.”
At O’Dowd, Yeghoian will seek to
integrate sustainability with the school’s
mission to prepare students to be globally
responsible citizens.
“When a school incorporates
sustainability fully into its mission
it affects the campus, curriculum,
community and the overall culture,” she
said.
“Our graduates will understand
the paradigm of sustainability and
incorporate it in their decision-making,”
she added.
Yeghoian seeks to provide a
collaborative, inclusive environment that
is grounded in active listening and shared
understanding.
“Initially, I want to spend a lot of time
getting to know people and learn about
the school’s vision for sustainability,” she
said. “At the same time, I’d like to do an
audit of the facility – taking a look at
energy, water, waste and transportation –
and a general curriculum audit so I can
understand where we are currently with
the teaching of sustainability concepts.”
Added Yeghoian, “Sustainability is
a cultural shift. Once we complete that
shift, sustainability becomes routine and
you can’t imagine any other way of living.”

New Field of Dreams
and State-of-the Art Running Track
O’Dowd students are enjoying new
turf on the lower sports field and a high
performance track.
Work on this $600,000 renovation
project was completed over the summer.
The school administration set aside funds
over a two-year period in the capital
improvement budget for this project, so
no additional fundraising was needed.
The existing surfaces were installed
nine years ago, Athletic Director Mike
Bowler said. “We were fortunate that
the surfaces we had lasted as long as
they did,” he said. “The new materials
are upgrades to what we had and should
provide a superior athletic experience for
our students.”
Hellas Construction installed both the
field turf (46-weight Matrix Turf ) and
track (epiQTracks system). The same
product Hellas installed in Memorial
Stadium at Cal, the turf has impact
cushioning features to maximize player
safety.
The company has installed turf at a
number of colleges and universities across
the United States, as well as the playing
surface at Cowboys Stadium.
As part of the project, the field’s
drainage system was revamped. “They
installed a drain on the bleacher side of
the field which will alleviate problems
we’ve had with water overflowing during
rain storms,” Bowler said.
Field markings, including the Block O
at mid-field, remain the same.
The new, red eco-friendly track is
designed for improved speed and control.
Director of Cross Country/Track
& Field Jamal Cooks said he is excited
about the improvement. “The upgrade in
track surface will be a great benefit to our
program,” he said.

When Ivan Rabb ’15 takes to the

on important lessons learned during
international competition as a member

Playing in the FIBA Americas U16
Championship held in Maldonado,
Uruguay, in June, Rabb was instrumental
in leading the USA team to a gold
medal and extending the U16 team’s win
streak to 15-0.
Over the course of the five-game
Save the date for next year’s

tournament, Rabb led the USA
team in rebounding, averaging
9.8 rebounds per game. He led all
tournament players in field goal
percentage (.619) and was second
in blocked shots, averaging 2.6 per
game.
Rabb said the biggest difference
that he noticed between high school
or AAU and international play is
international players routinely flop
with the hope of drawing a foul call.
“If you tried to go through a
screen, the defenders would flop and
most of the time the calls would go
their way,” he said. “So we had to
learn how to avoid that trap.”
Rabb says two of the tournament
games stand out in his mind – the
opener played against Mexico and
the gold medal game vs. Argentina.
Coming off the bench in the
USA- Mexico game, Rabb scored 14
points and hauled down 12 rebounds
in 17 minutes of play. He also tallied
two assists, two steals and one
blocked shot.
As a starter in the gold medal
game, Rabb posted a double-double
and had two blocked shots.
Rabb said USA coach Don
Schowalter looked to him to carry
the load when it came to rebounding
and shot blocking. “I’m pretty good
in those areas,” he said.
Wearing a USA jersey and
winning a gold medal was an
unbelievable experience, Rabb said.
“When they put that gold medal
around my neck I was so happy,” he
said. “I won that representing my
whole country. It means a lot to me.”
It almost made the 6-foot, 10-
inch, 210 pound forward forget
about being squished in an airplane
seat on the lengthy three-leg journey
to and from Uruguay. It was the first
time he’d ever traveled outside of the
United States.

Faculty Accomplishments
Physics Teacher Chris Gallick Completes Summer
Research Position at Lockheed Martin
Students enrolled in Chris Gallick’s physics classes this fall are likely to get
keen insights on how this scientific discipline has very real world applications.
That’s because Gallick completed a summer research position at Lockheed
Martin Space Systems Company where he participated in investigation and
analysis on an aero-optical defense mechanism for attack jets such as the F-16.
Gallick secured the opportunity through Industry Initiatives for Science and
Math Education (IISME)
IISME’s Summer Fellowship Program places K-16 teachers of all subjects
into high-performance work sites for the summer. They work full-time for
eight weeks and are required to complete a project for their host organization.
The fellows also spend time focusing on how they will transfer their Summer
Fellowship experience back to their students and colleagues.
Gallick received special approval from Lockheed Martin to work for 10
weeks, instead of the requisite eight week period, at the company’s Sunnyvale
facility. “I wanted to take full advantage of this opportunity and learn as much
as I can about culture of the company and the science and research that goes on
there.”
Some aspects of the project Gallick worked on were classified. But the
general scope of his research revolved around developing the technology for a
high energy laser that would be located on the belly of fighter attack jets for the
purpose of aerial defense. Full scale production of this device is scheduled for
late 2013 or early 2014.
“The laser focuses on a projectile and neutralizes it – which basically means
blowing it up,” he said. “Or the laser could be used to blind the sensors within a
missile, which would prevent it from following a pre-programmed trajectory.”
Gallick expected the work – which centers on adaptive optics - to be
challenging. “The process of focusing a laser beam to within a certain diameter
on an object is pretty tricky,” he said. “When a laser beam hits the atmosphere it
wants to diffuse. But in order for it to be effective, it has to be concentrated.”
Added Gallick, “I’m sure I’ll learn a good amount of information about this
application and its methods, and that inspires me.”
O’Dowd Principal Pam Shay noted the competition for such positions is
fierce and Gallick was initially hesitant about his chances. “Chris seized the
opportunity. We are proud of his accomplishment,” she said.
A double major in physics and math at Augustana College in Rock Island,
Ill., Gallick teachers Honors Physics, Physics and Engineering Physics.
On staff at O’Dowd since 2010, Gallick is very excited about the
implications this research position will have in his classroom.
“The director at Lockheed said he would help me in any way – provide
materials or resources – so that I can implement new ideas in the classroom,” he
said.
And, Gallick expects students will be all ears when he details his research
experience. “It will be great to get a dialogue going in the classroom about how
physics is being used in the industry. I’m looking forward to telling my students
stories related to my summer experience.
That’s what gives a class life – showing
students how learning, research and
experimentation all fits together,” he said.
For instance, Gallick’s students
perform experiments with lasers and
mirrors during an optics unit. “It will be
great to share with them that with a few
tweaks and adjustments, a laser can be
used for the sake of national security and
defense mechanisms on multi-million
dollar fighter jets.”
On a personal level, Gallick is excited
about soaking up knowledge. “Working
with the top engineers in this particular
industry and talking shop with them will
be an experience in and of itself,” he said.
“There’s no manual for this work. We
will be creating a piece of brand new
technology that has never been designed
before, and I’m going to be playing a
critical role in conducting experiments
that lead up to the final project,” Gallick
said.

Social Studies Teacher Bonnie Sussman Develops
Educator Resources for the New Museum of the
History of Polish Jews
O’Dowd social studies teacher Bonnie
Sussman was one of 20 U.S. teachers of
Holocaust education selected to work
with Polish teachers in Warsaw over the
summer to develop educator resources for
the new Museum of the History of Polish
Jews.
The museum held a preview event
in April on the 70th anniversary of the
Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and its grand
opening is scheduled for early 2014.
Sussman participated in the Polin
Academy Summer Seminar (PASS),
designed for North American teachers
and educators from Jewish educational
institutions.
The academy provides a unique
learning opportunity for both North
American educators and the Museum’s
Education Centre to share experiences
and create educational strategies that
will most effectively disseminate the wealth of knowledge contained in the
Museum’s resources to North American visitors.
Specifically, Sussman had a chance to create educational opportunities
for North American tour groups to the Museum, learn about the potential
of incorporating the Museum’s materials for school curricula, and interact
with Polish educators and share experiences.
In addition to getting a behind the scenes view of the Museum and its
future Core Exhibition and galleries, Sussman attended workshops, lectures
and discussions, toured historic sites in Jewish Warsaw and visited the site
of the former death camp in Treblinka.
Sussman believes her summer experience will enhance her Holocaust
class curriculum and help students gain a broader understanding of basic
moral issues.
“Students learn that history doesn’t just ‘happen,’ but it occurs because
of choices made by individuals, organizations, institutions and governments.
We discuss the responsibilities of citizenship and the dangers of apathy and
indifference. For example, Hitler came to power legally, in a parliamentary
democracy,” she said.
“We discuss the ramifications of prejudice, racism and stereotyping.
And we discuss how and why some people were upstanders (less than 1/2
of one percent), while the majority were bystanders. Teenagers are trying
to figure out who they are; they are developing their own sense of right and
wrong, and the Holocaust provides an effective mechanism for discussing
all of this,” Sussman said.

Creative Process Suits
Jewelry Designer
Lindsay Olson ’03
Alumni Spotlight
While on a family trip to
Africa in the late 1990s, Lindsay
Olson ’03 became enamored
with the colorful beaded jewelry
from the Maasai in Kenya.
In fact, she traded her favorite
T-shirt and a deck of cards for
a necklace that she still wears to
this day.
Fast forward to the present.
Now an Oakland-based jewelry
designer, Olson, 28, recently
launched her own company –
Adeline Jewelry.
“The name came to me
when I was writing a piece
about heirloom jewelry. I had
been ruminating on the idea
of pieces being handed down
through generations. The
pieces that have been given to
me from my grandmothers hold
a particular kind of sentimental
weight to them. So the name of
my company is an homage to the women in my family: my great
grandmother’s name was Adele, and I combined it with my own
first name to form Adeline,” she said.
The line currently features sterling silver and 14 karat gold
necklaces, rings and stud earrings. But Olson’s beginning to work
on bangles, cuffs and larger, chunkier pieces, and just finished her
first engagement ring.
In addition to designing and creating jewelry at her Temescal
district studio, Olson works full-time as a production manager
for Oakland-based Lauren Wolf Jewelry.
Lindsay Olson '03 at work on her jewelery.
Getting Started
Olson began making jewelry while in middle school. “Beading
was always a way for me to unwind,” she recalls. “I could spend
hours in my room sorting stones and creating new designs,
keeping my hands occupied.”
Later, during summers home from college, Olson spent her
days making jewelry, and would host a trunk show in August
before heading back to school. “I made good money and garnered
a lot of support and a tiny customer base,” she said.
And, she took a metalsmithing class during a semester abroad
in Florence.
“ I like to play with hard lines
and geometric shapes. That
being said, it’s all made by
hand, without any precise
measurements, so I think
there’s an organic feel to the
designs as well.”
Lindsay Olson ’03
26 THE DRAGON

Olson never imagined, however, that her hobby would turn into a career. “It wasn’t
the first thing I thought I’d do with my life. For years I was sure I wanted to be a
fiction writer.”
After graduating from Oberlin College with a double major in English and
Creative Writing, she worked as an assistant editor for a New York publishing
company.
After a year of sitting in front of a computer, Olson decided to switch gears.
The day after quitting her job at the publishing company, Olson attended a cousin’s
wedding and met longtime clients of a jeweler in New York, Julius Cohen, Inc. “They
put me in touch with the owner and before I knew it I had talked my way into an
apprenticeship in their workshop,” she said.
She worked part time at the traditional fine jewelry company on the Upper East
Side for about two years, learning all the metalsmithing basics.
“It was me and the two master jewelers I trained with: Girard, a thirty-something
Albanian who had been making jewelry since he was 16, and Nuchi, a 50-year-old
Thai woman who used to dance for the London Ballet,” Olson said.
She also worked for an independent designer in Brooklyn, helping make items and
sell them on the weekends at the Brooklyn Flea Market.
“These were two very different approaches to jewelry making, and I felt that
I wanted to land somewhere in between: a little more refined but not quite so
traditional. It became clear that I needed to take more classes.”
Olson moved back to the Bay Area and began studies at San Francisco’s Revere
Academy of Jewelry Arts, where she obtained a graduate jeweler certificate.
Creating Her Own Pieces
Most of Olson’s designs are created using the ancient technique of “lost wax,”
where she carves a piece out of wax and then casts it into metal.
The theme of her work is mostly architectural. “I like to play with hard lines
and geometric shapes. That being said, it’s all made by hand, without any precise
measurements, so I think there’s an organic feel to the designs as well,” Olson said.
“Being from Oakland, I tend to gravitate towards an aesthetic that echoes the
relationship between the skyscrapers and sidewalks of a cityscape and the elements of
nature just beyond it,” she added.
Olson said that the biggest challenge she faces in her work is time management.
“Since I have a full-time job, it’s tough to find the time and energy to leave a ninehour
day making someone else’s jewelry and then get to work on my own line,” she
said.
But the reward comes when she sees someone wearing one of her pieces. “I’m
making a product that makes people happy when they wear it, and that’s a really great
feeling,” she said.
Currently Olson’s jewelry is available on her website, www.adelinejewelry.com, and
in three retail locations: Esqueleto and Resurrect in Oakland, and Fiat Lux in San
Francisco.

Brian Shaw’83
– A Study in Perseverance
Perseverance pays off. Just ask Brian Shaw ’83.
Named the head coach of the Denver Nuggets in June, the former NBA
player and assistant coach was in the running for several head coaching
positions over the last few years – including the Los Angeles Lakers,
Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Clippers and Brooklyn Nets.
Shaw weathered the ups and downs, and didn’t get discouraged when he
was passed over – even when the Lakers head coaching position seemed to be
a given.
“The nature of the business is so unpredictable. I did everything that was
asked of me as an assistant coach. I worked hard, established myself, had a
good reputation, and learned from the best coach in all of sports history – Phil
Jackson. I was being groomed and endorsed by him, as well as Kobe Bryant
and Magic Johnson, to take over when Phil was done and that didn’t happen,”
Shaw said. “I couldn’t hang my head. I had to land on my feet running.”
After leaving the Lakers in 2011, Shaw served as an associate head coach
for the Indiana Pacers for two seasons, helping lead the team to the Eastern
Conference Finals in 2013.
This fall, Shaw will finally step onto the hardwood as a head coach. “I’m
blessed to have this opportunity in Denver to show what I can do,” Shaw said.
“I’ve inherited a team that won 57 games, which was the most in franchise
history, but also a team that lost in the first round of the playoffs (to the
Golden State Warriors). Regular season wins are great, but I want this team to
advance in the playoffs beyond the first round,” he said.
With Andre Iguodala opting out of the final year of his contract with the
Nuggets, and Danilo Gallinari out of the line up for at least the start of the
2013-14 season due to ACL surgery, Shaw has his work cut out for him.
“We’re going to focus on playoff style basketball – executing in the half
court, being better defensively, and rebounding,” he said.
Keeping Things in Perspective
Part of the reason that Shaw has been able to keep perspective when it comes to his
professional career is because of tragedy in his personal life. “What I’ve had to deal with in
my basketball life pales in comparison,” he said.
In 1993, Shaw’s parents, Charles and Barbara, and his sister, Monica, were killed in a
car accident. His niece, Brianna, survived the accident and Shaw has raised her as his own
child. Now 21, Brianna is a junior at Arizona State University.
“We were a very close knit family, and we did everything that you could possibly do
together as a family,” he said. “They came to all my games, from elementary school through
my NBA career. I also played a year in Italy and lived in Rome, and my parents came over
five different times when I was there. That’s a testament of how supportive they were.”
Added Shaw, “Even though they were called home early, they lived full lives. Because of
that, I can celebrate their lives instead of feeling sad.”

Los Angeles Lakers from 1999-2003,

Learning the Fundamentals at O’Dowd
As a youngster, Shaw regularly attended the Tournament of Champions – the Northern
California regional basketball tournament - at the Oakland Coliseum Arena with his
28 THE DRAGON

father. Shaw was inspired to attend O’Dowd after he watched the Dragons’ Guy
“The Fly” Williams ’79 in action.
“Even though he was the tallest guy on the team (6-foot, 9-inches) he was
handling the ball and playing the guard position,” Shaw said. “I remember telling my
father that I wanted to go to O’Dowd so that I could be like Guy and bring the ball
up the court like he did.”
Shaw transferred from Westlake Junior High to O’Dowd as a sophomore, and
played junior varsity basketball during his sophomore and junior years before finally
landing a spot on the varsity team his senior year.
Shaw’s height, however, didn’t match up with his high basketball I.Q. “I hadn’t had
my growth spurt yet,” Shaw said. “I came off the bench behind starting guards Tony
Ronzone ’83 and Craig Wallace ’84.”
Encouraged by then assistant coach Mike Bowler, Shaw made the most of his
minutes. “Mr. Bowler told me that it didn’t matter if I started or not. He told me just
to concentrate on making an impact when I got in the game,” he said.
During Shaw’s senior campaign, the Dragons played for the Division I state
championship, but were upended by Crenshaw, 62-55, in overtime.
Shaw credits his O’Dowd basketball experience with providing him the
fundamentals necessary to be successful at the collegiate and professional level. “We
were never the biggest or the fastest team, but we could play with anybody,” he said.
College Standout
Shaw played two seasons at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga before transferring to
UC Santa Barbara, where he was named the Big West Conference Player of the Year
in 1988. During his senior year, Shaw led the conference in rebounding and assists,
and the Gauchos posted a 22-8 record and qualified for the NCAA tournament for
the first time in school history. Shaw is the only Gaucho hoops player to have his
jersey (#22) retired.
During a required redshirt year due to the transfer, Shaw tried out for and
was selected to the 1986 National Team that won gold in the FIBA World
Championships held in Madrid, Spain.
Coached by then University of Arizona coach Lute Olson, the team included
future NBA stars Tommy Amaker, Steve Kerr and David Robinson. “I ended up

and Jerry West came to a lot of games

going to be drafted by the Lakers,” Shaw
explained.
“Initially I was disappointed because
I wanted to play on the West Coast. But
it was a blessing in disguise,” he said. “I
got to play with guys like Kevin McHale,
Larry Bird, Robert Parish, Dennis
Johnson and Danny Ainge, and I was
around (team president) Red Auerbach.
They taught me about work ethic, how to
take care of my body, and to respect the
game.”

Photographer Vern Clevenger Captures Nature’s Essence
Noted landscape photographer Vern Clevenger’s
love of nature and adventure nearly put an end to his
professional career before it ever started.
Clevenger and classmate Bill Dougherty, both
16-year-old Eagle Scouts, set out on an anticipated
week-long backpacking trip up 14,000-foot Mt. Shasta
during their Christmas break in 1971.
The trip started innocently enough, with the boys
making it up to 13,200 feet in two days with no
problems. But then the weather changed.
As recounted in a front page story in the Dec. 31,
1971, issue of the Oakland Tribune, Clevenger and
Dougherty were the objects of a massive week-long
air-ground search in blizzard conditions.
While the search was going on, Clevenger and
Dougherty were trying to make their way down the
mountain through storms, temperatures of 20 below
zero, and hip-deep snow drifts that slowed them to a
half a mile a day in places. They were even forced to
hole up for five days to wait for the weather to clear.
“It was serious. People had given us up for dead,”
Clevenger said.
The teens eventually made it to a lumber mill outside
McCloud in Siskiyou County under their own power. But they weren’t unscathed, as
both were suffering from frostbite, exposure and hunger.
And how about this for a surprising ending to the adventure? Clevenger and
Dougherty were met at the lumber mill by actor Fess Parker (famous for his roles as
Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone), who happened to be in the area making a pilot
film for television. Parker even drove them to a medical clinic for treatment.
Born and raised in Oakland, Clevenger, 57, attended St. Jarlath School before
enrolling at O’Dowd.
A National Merit Finalist, with a keen interest in math and physics, Clevenger
received early admission to U.C. Berkeley in his junior year. He ended up transferring
to Skyline High School for his senior year.
However, he still considers O’Dowd his alma mater and is quick to point out that
a freshman art class sparked his passion for photography. “I learned a lot of the basics
about composition and getting viewers emotionally interested in your art,” he said.
On a recent visit to campus, Clevenger returned to the art room where it all began.
“I had always had regrets about a life unlived because I was a very successful
student and I blew off college,” he said. “But when I came back to O’Dowd and met
with (Vice President for Advancement) Michael Petrini I realized the life that I have
lived was the right path for me.”
Almost immediately after finishing high school, Clevenger moved to the Yosemite
area, where he pursued his love of rock climbing. “In those years, Yosemite was a
Mecca for rock climbing,” he said.
Clevenger stood out from the pack – in fact, one climbing journal says he reigned

“I do my best work when I
have a clear sense of mindfulness
and oneness when
I’m shooting.”
Vern Clevenger

as a leader of the climbing scene
through the 1970s and 1980s -
and made numerous ascents of
the famed El Capitan and Half
Dome in Yosemite Valley. He also
tackled the sky-scraping granite
domes in the more peaceful
Tuolumne Meadows.
While Clevenger continues
to enjoy this activity, his days of
extreme rock climbing are behind
him. “The emotional energy is not
there anymore,” he said.
Today, Clevenger makes
his living capturing the drama
of mountain landscapes in
the Eastern Sierra, as well as
architecture in Central America
and Europe, and operates The
Vern Clevenger Gallery of
Fine Photography, located in
Mammoth Lakes.
Clevenger had no formal
professional training in photography, and credits several mentors, including photographer Galen
Rowell and Yosemite National Park Museum Curator Jack Gyer, for teaching him the essence of
composition.
Clevenger’s skill at capturing the essence of the moment - providing an instant and emotional
connection for those viewing his photographs – is readily apparent.
He explains that there’s more to making a photograph than randomly pointing and shooting. “I do
my best work when I have a clear sense of mindfulness and oneness when I’m shooting,” he explains.
And, Clevenger swears by the KISS “Keep It Simple Stupid” rule. “I don’t photograph with the
latest and best equipment. It doesn’t make any difference,” he said. Currently, the photographer’s “go
to” camera is a four-year-old Canon 5D Mark II.
Several times a year Clevenger offers workshops for those interested in learning more about the art
of photography. He begins each session with a quote from French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery
that sums up the way he approaches photography – “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Clevenger has witnessed many changes in the field of photography during his career – namely the
switch from film to digital.
He started out shooting with Kodachrome 25 film, developing his prints in a darkroom in his
home, and now prints his digital files on high end printers in his gallery.
The photography business changed dramatically with the advent of digital photography, Clevenger
said.
“The biggest challenge of my job is making enough money to support a family. Several parts of
the market have just disappeared – like stock photography,” he said. “People used to be able to make
a living in stock, selling their images to magazines, calendar publishers and others. Now you can get
anything you want online, often for free.”
When Clevenger isn’t behind the camera, he enjoys being outdoors with his wife, Margaret, and
their children, Dylan, 23, and Sabrina, 16.
Clevenger and Margaret met in Tuolumne Meadows and their first date was a climb. “Our passion
for the outdoors has bonded our marriage,” he said.
The photographer also enjoys cooking as a hobby. “It’s a little like working with digital files in
Photoshop – you do a little of this and a little of that,” he said. “Except if you make a mistake in
cooking, there’s no ‘undo’ button.”

Cathy Russi Thomas ’83,
a Torchbearer for O’Dowd Women’s Athletics
One of the most prolific scorers in O’Dowd women’s basketball history, Cathy
Russi Thomas ’83 tallied 1,468 points during her high school career - and that was
before the 3-point line was introduced.
She remains one of the most decorated Dragons of all time. Thomas was twice
recognized as a Catholic Athletic All-American, was an All-Northern California, All-
East Bay, All-Catholic Athletic League selection, and received a host of other special
awards.
Had Thomas been playing today, it’s likely she’d have multiple scholarship offers
similar to those of Class of 2013 standouts Ariell Bostick, Breanna Brown, Oderah
Chidom, and K.C. Waters. But such opportunities weren’t part of the women’s
basketball landscape in the1980s.
“I don’t think the girls today understand how far women’s athletics have come,”
Thomas said.
Sparse funding, a carousel of coaches, limited gym time and paltry fan interest in
girls basketball marked Thomas’s playing time at O’Dowd. College scholarship offers
for talented athletes like Thomas were few.
As a walk-on, Thomas earned a full scholarship halfway through her freshman year
at U.C. Berkeley, where she graduated with magna cum laude honors.
She opted to forgo basketball her junior year of college, because the team’s practice
time conflicted with classes required for her accounting/finance degree. “I wanted to
graduate from school on time,” she said.
The Early Days
Born and raised in Alameda, Thomas attended St. Joseph Elementary School,
where she played on the boys’ basketball teams because there wasn’t enough funding
for girls’ teams. “I didn’t start playing girls sports until about 8th grade. That’s partly
why I was good,” she said.
At O’Dowd, Thomas played varsity basketball all four years.
During her senior campaign, Thomas led the CAL in field goal
percentage (52 percent); free throw percentage (79 percent), scoring
(227 points total/18.9 points per game) and assists (82).
She is a member of O’Dowd’s Hall of Fame Class of 2004, and was
voted “Most Athletic” of her senior class.
Kathy Russi Thomas '83 is one of the most
decorated Dragons of all time.
Family Values Ensured Success on and Off the Playing Field
Thomas is one of six siblings to attend O’Dowd - Jack ’79, Tim ’80,
Joe ’81, Patrick ’86 and Shelley ’88 were also Dragons.
She says sports – plus strong Catholic values instilled by her
parents, Jim and Arleen - played a key role in the success of all the
Russi offspring.
An All-American basketball player at Santa Clara University who
was drafted by the St. Louis Hawks to play in the NBA, her father
Jim opted instead to pursue accounting and start a family.
Mom Arleen always made sure her children were well-fed and
Thomas and her son, Ryan, on the golf course.
32 THE DRAGON

made it to school and sports practices on
time, ensuring success.
“We were all taught about loyalty and
helping others, which has made each of
us successful in a different way,” Thomas
said.
And lessons learned on the playing
field – such as the value of teamwork,
dedication and persistence - positively
impacted their lives, she added.
A basketball star at O’Dowd, Jack
could have continued his playing career
at Cal. But he opted to dual major and
graduate early, and is now the National
Managing Partner of Corporate
Development at Deloitte.
Tim played basketball at U.C. Davis
and is currently the Chief Financial
Officer for Ally Bank, Joe played baseball
and is a successful stockbroker, Pat works
in recreation, developing unique sports
programs for children, and Shelley is a
college basketball referee who also works
in the real estate field.
Just as she did on the basketball court,
Thomas has enjoyed great professional
success, working as a partner at Deloitte
and Touche (1987-2002) and Armanino
McKenna (2002-2008).
In 2007, Thomas was included on
the East Bay Business Times’ Women of
Distinction list for her work at Armanino
McKenna. “I started their consulting
practice and grew it significantly,” she
said.
Thomas is currently self employed as
a consultant, specializing in transitioning
family businesses. “I like to help people.
The most rewarding aspect of my work is
when I can help the next generation take
over the family business,” she said.
A Danville resident, Thomas
continues to play basketball on a
recreational level and plays golf. She also
spends time caddying for her 25-year-old
son, Ryan Thomas, who placed second
in the 2013 U.S. Open Local Qualifying
tournament held in Palm Desert and is
looking to move from the mini tours in
2013 to the Web.com Tour in 2014.
Thomas (fourth from left in back row) was a four-year varsity player.
This is her senior year team photo from the 1983 O'Dowd yearbook.
“We were all taught about loyalty
and helping others, which has
made each of us successful in a
different way.”

volunteers to secure corporate sponsorship and major donor
prospects.
Vice President for Advancement Michael Petrini said
Ramirez is a wonderful addition to the O’Dowd community.
“Her proven expertise in relationship management and
fund development, along with her impressive interpersonal

to and understanding of the mission.
“I led both staff and volunteers in annual and major gift
campaigns. I created solicitation materials, pursued and secured
corporate grants, stewarded corporate and individual donor
relationships, planned recognition/fundraising events and spoke
at community forums,” Ramirez said.
She also worked closely with more than 100 volunteers to
raise funds for YMCA outreach programs. Under her direction,
donations increased by 13.6%.

Career Day Encourages Students to Plan for the Future
Can you imagine having a career that affords you

Detective Michael Gebhardt '98 shares stories about his police work with students.
Photo by Lisa Coffey Mahoney.
Students sitting in on Detective Michael Gebhardt’s ’98 session got an inside look at four cases
the Fremont Police Department homicide/robbery unit detective recently worked to successful
conclusion.
Gebhardt said that many breaks in these cases resulted from his monitoring social media activity
– particularly Facebook and Twitter – of suspects. In addition, search warrants executed on cell
phone numbers provided text message trails and verified that suspects were in locations where
crimes were committed, he said.
Though he uses social media for investigative work, Gebhardt said being an effective police
officer requires solid face-to-face conversation skills. “I’d say 99% of being a good police officer is
based on your ability to talk to people,” he said.
Students were enthralled by Gebhardt’s stories and were impressed by his enthusiasm for his job.
“I’m really interested in a career in law enforcement,” Randy Fraters ’14 said. “It’s so cool how he
loves his job and is excited to help people.”
A star basketball player at O’Dowd, who went on to play hoops at the University of San
Francisco and U.C. Santa Barbara, Jesse Byrd ’05 is involved in a myriad of ventures. He founded
his own clothing company, Oiseau, completed the manuscript for his first fiction novel for children
in December, recently signed on to be a producer for a film, and is working on a project at Google.
He encouraged students to pursue work that makes them happy. “You have to find purpose in
your work and be passionate about it,” he said.
Added Byrd, “Having faith is critical. It’s the believing without the seeing. If you can’t believe
you’re going to be something special without outside proof you will have a difficult time.”
After their presentations, the Career Day speakers were invited to join faculty members and
staff for lunch in the Dominican Hall Boardroom.

Sean Spees ’13 Earns
National Merit Scholarship
Bishop O’Dowd High School’s Sean Spees ’13 was selected as a winner of a
National Merit $2,500 scholarship.
Spees was one of 2,500 students chosen from a talented pool of more than
15,000 outstanding finalists in the 2013 National Merit Scholarship Program.
The National Merit $2,500 scholarship winners are the finalists in each
state judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and
potential for success in rigorous college studies. The number of winners named in
each state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the nation’s graduating high
school seniors.
About 1.5 million juniors in some 22,000 high schools entered the 2013
competition when they took the 2011 preliminary SAT/National Merit
Scholarship qualifying test, which served as an initial screen of program entrants.
Spees is now attending Williams College in Willamstown, Mass.
Thank you for saying YES to O’Dowd
It’s a new school year, and thanks to our parents, it’s going to be a great one.
The collective impact of parent giving exceeds over $1 million each year.

Shaw
O’Dowd is Tops continued from page 29
“Everything I threw up went in. I even took a shot from the
seats of the arena and it went in,” he said. “Finally my coach,
Kevin Loughery, said don’t shoot any more shots until the game
starts.”
The first play of the game was generally run for teammate
Glen Rice, Shaw said. But after the morning shoot around,
Coach Loughery ran the play for Shaw instead. “I was still hot,”
he said.
Ironically, three years later, when Shaw was playing for the
Orlando Magic, he provided the assists to Dennis Scott when
Scott tied Shaw’s record and then broke it, hitting 11 3-pointers
in a game against Atlanta. Today, both Kobe Bryant and
Donyell Marshall hold the NBA single-game record for 3-point
shots with 12.
We are pleased to announce that Bishop O’Dowd High
School was named “Best Faith-Based High School” in Alameda
County for 2013 by the readers of Parents’ Press.
Going Out on Top
Shaw finished his career with the Los Angeles Lakers,
winning back-to-back-to-back championships in 2000, 2001,
and 2002, and playing alongside superstars Kobe Bryant and
Shaquille O’Neal. “That was the pinnacle of my playing career,”
he said.
And, as an assistant coach for the Lakers, working side-byside
with the legendary Jackson, Shaw helped guide the team to
two championships.

O’Dowd Debate Students Teach Teens to Speak Up
A rising 8th grader at St. Jarlath School, Jada Washington
has a new sense of confidence speaking in front of a crowd.
You can chalk that up to her participation in “Speak Up!” – a
student-run summer program designed to expose youngsters to
the art and importance of communication, critical thinking and
public speaking.
Created and led by captains of O’Dowd’s Speech and
Parliamentary Debate teams, Caitlin Walsh ’14 and Marco
Zepeda ’14, the three-week program included one-on-one
tutoring, group lessons and practice speeches.
Washington cites the importance of posture as one of the key
things she learned while participating in “Speak Up!”
“If you have good posture, you look more confident and
your audience gets the feeling that what you’re talking about
matters,” she said.
Giving Back
Walsh and Zepeda came up with the concept for “Speak Up!”
and worked with O’Dowd President Steve Phelps to create the
unique and free summer offering for inner city middle school
students interested in public speaking and debate.
“We were talking about something we could do during the
summer to help out. This is a subject we know pretty well and
we thought it would be a good idea to teach other kids who
may not have the opportunity to learn it elsewhere,” Zepeda
said. “It’s important for kids to learn how to communicate in a
way that’s appealing.”
Walsh said that while content is important, delivery is
critical.
“If you can’t deliver the content in a convincing and
confident manner, it sometimes becomes irrelevant,” she said.
Walsh and Zepeda charged the middle schoolers with
researching topics, and then talked with them about how to
organize and present the information gathered.
“They would give their speeches and we’d critique them and
ask them questions to encourage them to go more in depth on
the topic,” Zepeda said.
Added Walsh, “When you are up at the podium you want to
feel like you know what you’re talking about and have some ‘go
to’ strategies.”
They also organized group presentations and showed videos
of speeches by President Obama and former President Bill
Clinton to illustrate public speaking skills andstrategies.
“The kids totally exceeded our expectations. They asked us
really good questions and took advantage of the opportunity,”
Zepeda said. “For these kids, it’s just a matter of fine tuning
because they are so far ahead of the middle school level.”
Walsh said that by the end of the camp, the students’
personalities were more apparent in their speeches and their
confidence levels had soared.

Learning wasn’t limited to the students, either. “Teaching
this program has deepened my understanding and appreciation
of speech and debate,” Walsh said. “As I watched the kids
develop their skills I not only found new strategies to sharpen
my own, but also discovered creative and effective ways to teach
and engage the students.”

“In the 12 years I was with the Lakers
we played for the NBA championship
seven times and won five,” he said.
Shaw said he couldn’t have scripted his
playing career better – starting with the
Celtics and finishing with the Lakers. “The
Celtics have the most championship titles,
with 17, and the Lakers have 16. These are
two teams with the most championships
and the biggest traditions,” he said. “I’ve
been around multiple Hall of Fame players
and was able to learn from them.”
Leading the Next Generation
Shaw takes his coaching responsibilities
seriously – both producing a championship
team in Denver and guiding young men.
“Today you have a lot of guys who are
just one year removed from high school
that enter the draft, and they miss out
on a lot of the learning experiences that
you get in college,” he said. “It’s a game
where you often get rewarded before you
have even proven what you can do. You
have to be patient with them, build up
their confidence, put them in a position to
succeed, and help them to understand it’s a
privilege to be in the position they are in.”
Shaw says the most rewarding aspect
of coaching is helping a player succeed.
“When you have a player who is a project
and you put in the hours day in and day
out, drill after drill, and you finally see
him start to improve ... that is the most
satisfying feeling, knowing you played a
part in helping a player develop and reach
his potential,” he said.
Home Life
Shaw and his wife, Nikki, a professional
chef, and have two children, B.J., 14, and
Bianca, 12. In his free time, Shaw enjoys
fishing, and often takes his kids along with
him. “Any time I’m not at work, or doing
something with the family, I’m on the
water,” he said.
And Shaw loves to grill. “I’m constantly
outside barbecuing and trying to perfect my
grilling skills so I can keep up with Nikki
in the kitchen,” he said.

What is Your Legacy?
Why Bother?
Current Parent Giving/Heritage Society
Think about your needs, those of your loved ones, and
your commitment to Bishop O’Dowd High School. Consult
with your family and advisors. Thoughtfully planned, any of
the following gifts may provide important personal benefits
while providing an empowering gift to Bishop O’Dowd High
School.
• A bequest, which is a gift included in your will or
living trust, is a flexible, time-honored way to establish
a lasting legacy.
• A gift of retirement assets, such as 401(k) plans
or IRAs, may allow you to give more money than
you thought possible while reducing taxes that may
otherwise consume these assets.
• A life income gift, such as a charitable trust, can
be an important way to give you and/or a loved one
income for life, provide unique tax benefits, and benefit
O’Dowd.
• Gifts of life insurance policies you may no longer
need, or using your annual fund donations to fund a
policy with the school as beneficiary, will help O’Dowd.

You mean in addition to the financial benefits you
enjoy by not losing assets to estate, income or capital gains
taxation? Here are several good reasons:
• Your legacy gift provides the margin of excellence
in any aspect of the school you may choose.
• Your legacy gift can build O’Dowd’s scholarship
endowment that transforms lives.
• Your legacy gift can be made as a lasting tribute or
memorial in honor of yourself or a loved one.
• Your legacy gift helps ensure O’Dowd’s fiscal and
institutional strength, advancing its mission of
excellence in Catholic college preparatory education
from generation to generation.
For information on how you can create your legacy, like those
listed in the 1951 Heritage Society below, please contact
Director of Alumni Relations LizaDawn Ramirez at (510)
553-8617 or lramirez@bishopodowd.org, or visit www.

1951
Heritage Society
Alumni, parents, faculty and friends
who make legacy gifts to Bishop O'Dowd
High School in their estate plans play a key
role in charting our future and assuring
fiscal stability.
Their gifts build the endowment, a
perpetual fund whose income provides
essential financial support for all aspects of
the school.
We recognize the commitment of these
visionary donors by extending to them
membership in the 1951 Heritage Society.

60 THE DRAGON

Ralph and Liz Long Paying it Forward
For Ralph and Liz Long, giving doesn’t stop with the writing of a check. While
the Longs have generously supported O’Dowd’s scholarship program, Transforming
Lives, as well as the Annual Fund, Liz has been a mainstay of the Parents Board,
serving in leadership roles and also volunteering to co-chair the recent Spring Gala.
In part, the couple is paying forward Ralph’s opportunity to attend Regis
High School, a Catholic, college-prep school in New York City. For many years, a
benefactor family established and funded this tuition-free school for Catholic boys,
Liz explained.
“Ralph feels that his high school experience changed the course of his life. We
have focused our giving on scholarship because we believe in the transformative
power of a good education,” she said.
In addition, Liz says that the couple chooses to support O’Dowd because school
leaders effectively balance moving forward with maintaining a commitment to core
values, benefitting their children Ralph ’10 and Spenser.
“The innovation of technology in the classroom is so essential today. The building
of the Center for Environmental Studies opens a huge window to the future for both
students and teachers. Conversely, the aspect of including a religious element in
the curriculum is also of great importance, especially in today’s world of diverse and
sometimes clashing cultures. We feel that O’Dowd is moving in a positive direction
and reflects the true diversity of our world both within the community and within
the curriculum,” she said.
In terms of personal involvement, Liz says she’s always felt that the greatest way to
get to know a community or school is to participate fully.
“I know I am fortunate to have the time to give. One of the best byproducts of volunteerism, however,
is meeting so many wonderful people. We have made lifelong friends through our participation in the
school community. I encourage all parents to get involved in some way. Give what you can financially.
Get involved where you feel comfortable. Participate!” she says.

If you would like to
contribute to one of Bishop
O’Dowd’s existing funds or
establish a new fund, please
contact the Advancement Office
at (510) 577-9100, ext. 301.
Endowed scholarships
require a minimum of $50,000.
Donors may take up to five
years to reach that threshold.
Once that threshold is reached,
the school uses a percentage
of the interest each year for
granting scholarships according
to the guidelines established by
the scholarship portfolio. It is
intended that, notwithstanding
annual grants, the principal
will grow to sustain, at least in
part, its purchasing power.
You may also make a
scholarship grant, with no
intent to endow a scholarship in
perpetuity. Accordingly, grants
are made each year from the
principal according to award
guidelines and in amounts that
the donor, in consultation with
Bishop O’Dowd High School,
elects. The principal is credited
with its proportionate share of

The more John and Nadine Mills learned about the history of the Living Lab, the easier it
became for them to support the Center for Environmental Studies (CES).
“The vision and dedication of a few teachers, along with the efforts of hundreds of students
over the years, to turn an unused portion of the property into such an effective area for learning
and inspiration, helps to show off the uniqueness of O’Dowd and the strength of the school’s
Science Department,” the couple said.
“The CES is just the culmination of these ideas and dreams, helping O’Dowd to continue to
inspire future Dragons to pursue careers in environmental sciences. Great ideas like this are easy
to get behind, and we’re proud to help the CES become a reality,” the couple added. “And getting
to know Dr. Phelps and his passion for the kids and the school triggered us to participate.”
The Mills are in the plumbing supply business, so one item, in particular, that caught the
couples’ attention is the fact that O’Dowd was chosen by U.C. Berkeley as the sole high school
partner in a project to develop models for reinventing global urban water infrastructures.
“Our faculty will be working with the Environmental Engineering departments at both Cal
and Stanford to develop first-of-its-kind cutting edge curriculum in the areas of environmental
sciences and sustainability that will be used around the country – that’s exciting stuff!” John and
Nadine said.
The couple says that O’Dowd’s multi-faceted approach to learning and the growth
opportunities provided by the school for students lured them from Livermore. “The multitude of
specialized activities and field research trips has inspired our children (Mackenzie ’15 and Joshua
’16) to broaden their horizons, and become better prepared for the future,” they said.

Faculty and Staff Answer the Call
Giving Reaches 100 Percent for Second Consecutive Year
O’Dowd faculty and staff stepped up to support the school in 2012-13,
donating a cumulative $13,000, with special emphasis on the Angel Fund.
Contributions to the Angel Fund ensure that students won’t miss
memorable high school experiences such as prom, Grad Night or retreats.
These funds even pay for basic necessities such as books and lunches.
“As an O’Dowd student I participated in theater, sports and student
council. These activities helped shape who I am, and provided me a wellrounded
perspective on life and the courage to try many different things,”
Student Activities Director Starr Saunders said.
“If a lack of finances is preventing a student from getting to experiencing
what I did, I want to help in any way I can,” she said. “We never know if a
new experience and/or opportunity may shape a future decision for a student
and lead them on a path they never expected.”

73 THE DRAGON
Rabb
Continued from page 22
“On all three flights going
to Uruguay I was seated in an
exit row, so it wasn’t too bad,”
he said. “On the way home I
had to sit by the window. But
a teammate was next to me,
and he put his legs in the aisle
so I could get as comfortable
as possible.”
Looking ahead to the high
school season, Rabb expects
his game will be elevated as
a result of his National Team
experience. “I learned more
about knowing when to take a
shot and when to set up your
teammates. And I think I’ve
improved in areas like passing
and being more aggressive on
rebounding,” he said.
Meanwhile, Rabb says he’s
got a thirst for competition.
“The more competitive the
team, the better,” he said.
And opponents who think
that trash talking will disrupt
Rabb’s game better think
again. “I like when people talk
trash to me – it gets me into
a different zone. I play a lot
better,” he said.

Nancy Negri ’70 has been one of Bishop O’Dowd High School’s
staunchest supporters for more than two decades. Why? Because she
knows, firsthand, the value of an O’Dowd education.
“My inspiration comes from what my parents gave my brother,
Jim ’68, and myself. Even though neither of them went to college,
they recognized the importance of a strong educational experience.
They provided the financial means for Jim and me to attend Corpus
Christi, O’Dowd and college. That both of us chose education as
our profession honors their sacrifice and commitment to education,”
Nancy said.
“So many students do not have the financial resources to attend a
top college-prep high school like O’Dowd. I want to help,” she adds.
Nancy said O’Dowd provided a strong educational foundation that
led to her success at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. “We were challenged
to excellence. Expectations were high that each student could be
successful, and college opportunities were there for all students. My
classmates knew they were going to college and could meet all the
requirements,” she said.
A 1992 Hall of Fame inductee for basketball and volleyball,
Nancy says extracurricular opportunities were an important part of
her O’Dowd experience. “I participated in athletics long before Title
IX provided all athletes equal access. I also was part of Service Club
and on the yearbook staff. All these activities gave me the chance to
be part of the O’Dowd family in multiple ways. I carried the values
I learned at O’Dowd into my career as an educator/administrator to
help my students see the value of education,” she said.
Nancy sums it all up saying, “I am always proud to be able to say I
graduated from Bishop O’Dowd High School.”
Nancy taught physical education and mathematics for 29 years at Las
Plumas High School, located in Oroville, Calif., serving as department
chairs in both areas at separate times. She also coached basketball, softball
and tennis for several years. She ended her career in 2008, after serving
the final four years as Director of Educational Services for the district.
