Colleagues and Friends

Wade Freeman (left in photo at left) and Tom Turner (right) are good friends of mine and of DeLaSalle.
Wade did his community service at DeLaSalle when he was a senior at Rockhurst High School in the 1980s. He has stayed in touch ever since, particularly when he worked at El Centro and then served as Executive Director of Don Bosco in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Even though Wade now works in the business sector, he is a real believer in the importance of non-profits and DeLaSalle.
Tom Turner runs the Bishop Sullivan Center, one of the best non-profits in town (second to DeLaSalle, of course!). Tom helps poor families get (back) on their feet, and runs a soup kitchen three blocks from DeLaSalle. Occasionally, our students help out at their food pantry and even deliver food baskets to homebound families.
I appreciate their advice and counsel to me and to DeLaSalle. Friends like them and others in the community are significant contributors to DeLaSalle's success!
