A True LeaderHas the confidence to stand alone,
the courage to make tough decisions
and the compassion
to listen to the needs of others.
He does not set out to be a leader,
but becomes one
by the quality of his actions
and the integrity of his intent.
In the end,
leaders are much like eagles...
they don’t flock,
you find them one at a time.
In our ongoing effort to honor Mark’s memory, we haveestablished a Memorial Scholarship at St. Joseph’s HighSchool that has been awarded annually since May of 2002.
This scholarship is available to any Junior Class student -male or female, who fits the criteria that was established thefirst year. That student should do well academically, showsome leadership qualities and most importantly, fulfill arewarding role in community service.
This scholarship is not only open to athletes, nor is it onlyavailable to National Honor Society members, but to a studentwho, much like Mark, knows the value of quality academicgrades and recognizes the positive contribution that he or shecan make in our society.
We realize the sacrifice that parents make to send their childrento St. Joseph’s School. In an effort to assist them, we offerthis scholarship for senior year tuition so those parents canpossibly save that money for college.
We thank you for your continued interest and support for thisscholarship, and we hope to continue this indefinitely.

A man was walking along the beach when he came upon the oddest sight. You see, a storm had come in and washed up seemingly all of the starfish from the ocean. Everywhere the man looked, there was starfish upon starfish. And there, in the midst of a sea of star fish was a young boy. The man observed the boy, at first from a far distance, picking up the starfish, one by one, and hurling them back in the ocean. If only out of shear disbelief, the man slowly approached the young boy and silently continued to watch him. One by one, the boy continued to pick up the starfish and fling them back into the sea. When he finally reached him, the man questioned the boy, “What are you doing?”, he said. Without looking up, the boy explained, “The storm has washed these starfish up on the beach, and unless they get back into the water, they’ll die.” Surprised, the man responded, “Are you serious? Just look at this beach. It is literally covered in starfish! You could stay out here forever and never even make a dent! Have you gone mad?”. The boy contin-ued to work in silence through the man’s questions and simply
replied, “But they’ll die out here, you see.” The man, now agitated with the boy’s seemingly impossible task, began to
lecture him, “Son, don’t you understand? There are tens of thousands of starfish on this beach and you are just a boy. Surely you know that you can’t make a differ-ence.” Almost before the words were out of his mouth,
the boy looked up at the man for the first time, looked at the starfish in his hand, and flung
it as far as he could back into the ocean. “Made a difference to that one”, he said,
and continued to go about his effort.

One gift above all othersGod gives us to treasure,
one that knows no time, no place
and one gold cannot measure.
The precious, poignant, tender gift
of memory... that will keep
our dear ones ever in our hearts
although God gives them sleep.
It brings back long remembered things,
a song, a word, a smile
and our world’s a better place
because we had them for awhile.
In Memory of John O. Grasso
I Thought of You TodayBut that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
and days before that, too.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories,
and a picture in a frame.
Your memory’s a keepsake,
from which I’ll never part.
God has you in His arms...
I have you in my heart.
