Father Donald Merrifield, former president of Loyola Marymount University.
...
Yeah, with friends and acquaintances like that, Father Merrifield knew exactly what he was saying 25 years ago when he told his new assistant at Loyola Marymount University that he'd better find a balance in life.
He gets up at 4 a.m. every day to write thank-you notes to his donors before breakfast.It's important that these people know how much he and the people living on Skid Row appreciate their support.
Chase knows if he had been just Father Chase, the priest, instead of the assistant to the president of a prestigious university, he would never have had the entree to meet all these rich and famous people.
He wouldn't be walking over to the local Bank of America branch close to his small one-bedroom apartment 25 years later to deposit their checks.
