Ron Milder '60

Distinguished Alumni Award

Ron Milder entered the seminary at St. Ambrose College in Davenport after his 1960 graduation from Regina. Upon further discernment, Ron chose another road to serve his Lord – teaching young minds about the importance of their Catholic faith. Upon his graduation from Ambrose in 1965, Ron returned to his hometown where he and his five siblings (Tom ‘62, Catherine‘64, Phyllis ‘64, John ‘68 & Linda ‘71) grew up and attended St. Mary’s grades K-8 and graduated from Regina.

After a brief stint as a physical therapy orderly, Ron was asked to help St. Mary’s and St. Pat’s meld their two religious education (RE) programs together. He taught RE for the bi-parish program until December 1967 when Fr. Harry Linnenbrink was relocated and Regina needed a religion teacher on its staff. In April of 1968, Milder was offered a full-time contract at his alma mater.

During his tenure at Regina, Ron has taught history, film, English, reading and, of course, religion. When asked what it has been like teaching at his alma mater, he says “It takes a number of years for a teacher to feel completely comfortable in their mastery of the subject matter and teaching techniques, so definitely in the beginning I was making my way as a teacher. But, the experience has been unique in that I’ve taught the kids of kids with whom I graduated and the next generation of kids of kids.“

Sometimes referred to as the “Chairman of the Regina Theology Department,” Milder says he takes pride in the role he has played in keeping the subject strong in the curriculum over the years. “I know what I don’t know,” he admits, “so that is why I’ve always kept reading and learning myself. My way of teaching is to share stories with the kids, make it personal to them, engage them on their level.” And that, he says is what he will miss the most. “Coming to class and the repartee with the kids. I always feel good when a student comes back after graduation to tell me what they learned in my classroom has prepared them for college and life out there in the real world.”

Ron and his wife of almost thirty-eight years, Pat, have four children (Chris ’88, Jon ‘91, Sarah ‘95, and Susan ‘02) and eight grandchildren, three of whom currently attend Regina.

Mike Hanrahan '81

Alumni Appreciation Award

This first annual award honors an alumnus/a of Regina, who by his/her consistent volunteer efforts have furthered the mission and functions of Regina. The numerous people who nominated Mike for this award have best captured what his volunteer spirit has brought to Regina: “We always tease Mike about bleeding “Blue & Gold” because if there is any way to help Regina he will. He has a special love of athletics and helping students become team players.”

Here are a few of Mike’s good works:
* Regina Booster Fish Fries – Ten years ago Mike took over the coordination of the fish fries, which, at the time, made $2,000-$3,000 annually. The last few years, Boosters have made $15,000+ annually as attendance has grown significantly .
* Booster 4-H Food Booth – 95% of all the food sold at the booth during the week is cooked and brought to the grounds by Mike Hanrahan. For that week, the food booth is his job. He comes to the fairgrounds at 5:00 a.m. and stays until 8:00 p.m., at which time he goes to Hy-Vee and cooks all the food for the next day. For the past several years, the food booth has averaged $20,000 annually in proceeds for the Boosters.
* CABA program – Seven years ago, as a tribute to his dad’s love of the game, Mike started a summer baseball program at Regina for boys in the 3rd-8th grades. He volunteers his coaching time and coordinates the fund-raising for this program.
* Fall Fun Festival –Mike served as chairman of the alumni softball tournament for three years. He has gotten food donated and cooked for the steak cookout with all proceeds directly benefiting Regina’s budget.
Booster golf tournament – Coordinates donation and preparation of the food from Hy-Vee for the golfers.
* Announces varsity football games and keeps stat books for basketball games.
* Secure donations and cooks food for girl’s softball tournaments.
* Provides the food for the PTO-sponsored spring cleanup at the school.
* Was responsible for fund-raising the dollars needed for the 2nd phase of the Regina track.

Mike and his wife, Kirsten (Sueppel) ’81, are also involved at their parish, St. Mary’s in Iowa City. They have served as an engaged couples, sponsor couple for numerous years and also act as greeters at Sunday Mass. They have three children, Maddy ’06, Logan ’08 and Riley ‘13. Mike is the son of Jane Hanrahan and the late Joe Hanrahan, who had eight children in the Regina school system for 26 consecutive years, beginning in 1958 through 1984.

Peter Rossmann '98

Outstanding Young Alumni Award

After his graduation from Regina, Peter attended the University of Notre Dame where he received his degree in 2002 with a major in government. Peter served as president of his class during his sophomore and senior years at Notre Dame. His junior year was spent studying abroad in London. During the summer hiatus of his freshman and sophomore years, Peter was an intern for Congressman Jim Leach in Washington, D.C. The summer of his junior year, he served as an intern for Morgan Stanley Consultants in New York City, and was offered a position with their firm upon his graduation.

In April 2004, Peter moved to Chicago to work there in the Morgan Stanley office. In 2005, he chose to defer any further education or corporate work while he volunteered a year’s time at the Mercy Home for Boys & Girls in Inner City Chicago. Mercy Home serves “at risk” kids, mostly those who are at or below poverty level. He lived in a community setting 24/7 with the kids, with his major goal to be a male role model to the young men in the program. Rossman says, “My dad died when I was very young. My mom did a terrific job raising us as a single parent, but I was very lucky to have great male role models in my life as well. It made a big difference in my life, so that is what I wanted to do for these young men.”

Even though Peter entered the MBA program at Northwestern in September 2006, he continues to volunteer at the Mercy Home, helping them with strategic planning and development issues. He will complete an internship with McKenzie Management Consulting Firm in Chicago, which consults primarily with Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies. “But,” Peter quickly points out “what I really like is McKenzie does a lot of pro-bono work with non-profits around the globe. So, when I receive my MBA degree in a year, I hope to return to work with McKenzie and help companies and foundations align their philanthropic dollars with non-profit needs, like AIDS and hunger, throughout the world.”

Frank Boyd

Regina Distinguished Honorary Alumni

Frank and his wife, Lucille, have been exemplary stewards of the gifts they have been given. Throughout 66 years of marriage, they have consistently given back to the Iowa City Catholic community, especially in the area of Catholic education, and to their community-at-large

Frank was instrumental in the initial $1+M campaign to build Regina Catholic High School in the 1950’s; not only giving a personal gift, but was very active in soliciting gifts from others. Their family businesses, Boyd & Rummelhart Plumbing & Heating Company and City Electric, also donated numerous service hours and materials to construct the school’s initial electrical, heating and air system.

Frank also served as the general chair of the fund-raising campaign for the $1.5 million effort to build Regina Elementary, a complex to adjoin the Jr./Sr. High School, in 1985. Under Frank’s guidance and leadership, the campaign ultimately raised $1.7 M.

When the Catholic community knocked on their door in 2001 for a campaign to add classrooms, a new kitchen and cafeteria to the K-12 Catholic education center, they answered generously with a lead gift to the efforts. The Frank & Lucille Boyd Family Science Lab & Lecture Center was named in their honor in 2005. That same year, Frank, at the age of 89, spearheaded a drive at St. Patrick’s for a cemented ramp to accommodate handicap parishioners.

The Diocese of Davenport recognized Frank Boyd’s lifelong commitment to his Catholic faith and Catholic education in 2002 with the highest honor a diocese can bestow by making him a Knight of the Order of St. Gregory the Great. The award is given to “men and women who distinguish themselves through conspicuous service and notable accomplishment on behalf of the Pope and the Church.” The Diocese specifically noted Frank’s own Catholic education (1934 IC St. Pat’s) as well as serving on the boards of Mercy Hospital and St. Joseph Cemetery Association and in many advisory roles concerning Catholic education in Iowa City. The Diocese stated “the financial stability of the Catholic school system in Iowa City owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to Mr. Boyd.”

Frank was also recognized by his civic community in 1995 when he was named “Citizen of the Year” by the Iowa City Chamber of Commerce for his strong support of numerous civic causes. Despite the accolades, Frank readily admits, “It is Lucille who deserves the credit for our giving….she is the backbone of this family.”

Frank and Lucille are members of the Catholic Community Foundation’s Living the Promise Society, a group of generous, forward-thinking individuals and couples who are leaving a legacy to their Catholic community via a planned gift. They also belong to the Foundation’s Cornerstone Club for those who have contributed $1000+ annually for the past five or more years.

The Boyd’s serve as great examples of philanthropy and stewardship to their children, Bob ’63 and Diane Boyd ‘74, and five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Ray Pechous '63

Distinguished Alumni Award

Ray Pechous, the son of George and Celeste (Lynch) Pechous, grew up on a farm southeast of Iowa City with four siblings, all of whom are graduates of St. Patrick’s High School.   Ray attended St. Patrick’s Grade School and Regina High School and was a graduating member of the Regina Class of 1963. 

Ray attended St. Ambrose College in Davenport, receiving his BA in Elementary Education in 1967.  In December of that same year, he and Mary Mack were united in marriage.  Over the years, Ray and Mary were blessed with six children:  Patrick, Jeff, Celeste ’90, Don ’93, Tim ’99 and Emily '03.

In 1972, Ray received his MA in Elementary Administration from the University of Iowa.  At that time, he accepted an elementary principal position for Marshalltown Area Catholic Schools in Marshalltown, Iowa.  With this appointment, Ray became the first lay administrator hired by the Archdiocese of Dubuque.  

Thus began a lifetime career associated with Catholic education.  To date, Ray has dedicated over thirty-three years of his life to the ministry of educating the minds and souls of students.  In addition to the four years of service as principal in Marshalltown, Ray served as principal at Sacred Heart Cathedral School, St. Paul the Apostle School and St. Alphonsus School, all located in Davenport, in the years 1979-1988. 

Ray and his family returned to Iowa City in 1988 where he assumed the position of Elementary Principal for Regina, a capacity in which he served until 1995.  In the 1991-1992 school year, Regina Elementary received the First in the Nation in Education (FINE) Award from the US Department of Education and was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School for quality education in 1991-1992.  From 1995-2001 Ray was the Chief Administrator for the PreK-12 grade Regina Inter-Parish Catholic Education Center and from 2001-current, as the Regina Jr/Sr. High School Principal.  

Throughout the years, Ray has continued his own educational process with numerous professional growth classes.  In 2003, he attained an MA degree in Educational Leadership from St. Ambrose University in Davenport.

When asked about his philosophy and belief about Catholic education, Ray stated:  “Being an administrator of a Catholic school allows one to teach about Jesus Christ, to provide Catholic doctrine, religious celebration and service in an academically excellent curriculum.  A Catholic administrator can support and aid the family in having their sons and daughters realize and develop the potential God has given them.  A Catholic educator helps provide our students a Christian lifestyle and to be responsible leaders for the future.  These future leaders will guide the way in our Catholic church, our country and our community.  It is with great pride and mission that I work in the profession of Catholic education.”

Bob Brown '60

Distinguished Alumni Award

Bob has been associated with Regina High School since it opened in 1959.  He is a member of the second graduating class–the Regina Class of 1960.  His wife, Darlene (Delaney) Brown '61, and children, Amy '83, Rob '85, Anne Marie '86, and Melissa '90, are also Regina graduates.

PROFESSIONAL HISTORY:

• Received a B.S. in political science from the University of Iowa in 1966.   
• First job is in inner city Detroit working for the Parks and Recreation Department. 
• 1968 returns to Iowa, accepting the position of Director of Recreation at the Cromwell Children’s Unit in Independence, a program for troubled kids. 
• Moved back to Iowa City in 1973, where he was employed by the UI for over 31 years in rec. therapy department.  During that time, Bob initiates SPORTS, an outdoor adventure program for children with chronic illnesses, behavioral problems and learning disabilities.  Hundreds of kids benefited from the program.

From all accounts, helping kids grow is the gift God gave Bob Brown and Bob, in turn, to the Iowa City community.  Bob was one of the originators of the Ronald McDonald House Run.  He also served on the original board of directors of the Iowa City Girls Softball League, and was an adjunct professor in the Department of Leisure Studies. And then, there is what Bob has done for the youth of Regina through the cross country and track programs.

• Regina Cross Country Coach 1987-present and boys track coach 1990-present
• Many championship titles at both the state (five in cross country), regional (cc-6 times, track-4 times) and conference levels (cc-7 times; track-3 times)

Yet, you won’t find his most winning attribute in any record book. In 2003, when a scholarship was endowed in Bob’s name by a group of grateful Regina supporters, one Regina parent stated, “He hasn’t made millions or discovered great scientific answers, but he has made many young people realize their worth.”  A student athlete wrote “What I learned from him carries over to all aspects of my life.  He only expects that we give our best, not necessarily be the best, in everything we do. I find time for the important things that Coach stresses – faith first, then family, then school and then running.   There are no favorites on his team and every individual makes a difference no matter how talented a runner they are.  I am so fortunate to have had such an upstanding coach to be a model for me to follow.”

Patricia Spychaj ‘67

Distinguished Alumni Award

2005 marked the first time the Regina Distinguished Alumni Award was given posthumously.  Patty Thuerauf Spychaj, Regina class of 1967, died suddenly at the age of fifty-six on Sunday, February 20, 2005, 2 days before the death of her mother, Helen.   

Regina always held a special place in Patty’s heart, not only because of the education received and the friends made, but because of the Catholic faith and values taught. Upon graduation from Regina, Patty received a Diocesan scholarship to attend the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, where she graduated in 1971 with a degree in elementary education.  Patty taught junior high school in Kingston, Jamaica for a year before returning to Washington, DC. Patty then began a thirty-year relationship with the Cook family–beginning as a cashier in Cook’s Supermarkets, but rising to the office of Vice President for Corporate Affairs for the Cook family’s commercial real estate business, Site Realty Group.  She retired from Site in January of 2005.

Patty’s husband, Marvin, says, “She lived a very simple life, a life whose focus always was on love of God and love of family.” Her life is a shining example of discipleship to her church, her community, and her family.  Her Christian service included:

• Catholic Campus Ministry Team at the American University in Washington, DC from 1981-1988
• Cantor in the choir of Our Lady of Blue Ridge Catholic Church in Madison, Virginia;
• Member of the Brent Society of Arlington, Virginia, a Diocesan organization of lay men and lay women who seek to enrich their spiritual lives and bring Christ to the secular world;

• In 1999, Patty and Marvin completed a three-year course of instruction on "Education for Parish Service" at Trinity College, in Washington, DC.  She and Marvin were named co-directors of their parish's Adult Education Program and, a few years later, they were asked to administer their parish's RCIA program. 
• May 2004, she completed the Master Catechetical Program for the Diocese of Arlington, a formal two-year training program for the "best of the best" catechists in the Diocese.

In all Patty’s works, her love of the Lord and sharing of her faith with others blossomed into a “very simple life” of service, bringing full circle the faith and values she learned at home, school and church.
