Forever grateful to Henry Duda, my 6th grade teacher and later Rockette coach, for the role he played in my early life at a time when I needed to develop self-confidence. One of my life regrets is that I didn’t tell him while he was alive. A great teacher can have a tremendous impact and he certainly did.
I received bachelor and master degrees from Pitt and a law degree from Duquesne University and had a very rewarding career in public service. I still represent school districts and municipalities on certain matters.
