CLASS OF ’82
Christopher J Hunt, class of 82, beloved spouse of Jill Marth class of 83 passed away after his long battle with stroke complications. Chris was a fiercely loyal and righteous man who had a positive effect on everyone in his life. His greatest gift was his ability to communicate with others; he could talk to anyone about anything at anytime. He is the proud father of 2 wonderful children, Ian and Melissa. Ian and his wife gave us an amazingly bright 4 year old grandson, Paul and a future granddaughter is due in February. Chris will be missed by all who knew him, for his integrity, intelligence, selfless acts, and most of all for the love he showed to all.

William L. Kovacs was awarded the 2021 Independent Press Award (category Social/Political change) for his book "Reform the Kakistocracy: Rule by the Least Able or Least Principled Citizens" In 2020 his book received the bronze award from the Non-Fiction Book Association. It was also given five stars from Readers Favorite. Reform the Kakistocracy sets out how the federal government transformed itself from one of limited powers to one of immense power without any constitutional changes. Kovacs states, These changes in institutional power fundamentally affect the relationship of citizens to their government. Government is now the master and citizens the servant of government. The loyalty of todays elected officials is to a political party and interest groups, not to solving problems for citizens. Unlike many books on government reform, Reform the Kakistocracy does not let the reader dangle with fuzzy proposals. It presents clear, thought-provoking ideas for reforming government.

Edgehill in Stamford, Connecticut, under the guidance of Healthcare Administrator Gregory Shahum recently achieved one of the highest designations of quality care and services to its residents a deficiency-free subacute rehab inspection from the Connecticut Department of Public Health. A deficiency-free survey certifies that all skilled nursing care and services provided at the community meet or exceed the regulatory standards outlined by both the State of Connecticut and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements of participation. "It feels wonderful to get validation from regulators that were doing an incredible job of providing high-quality resident care. This is such a huge accomplishment because very few long-term care communities across the nation are classified as being deficiency-free."

Elena Habersky was awarded a fellowship grant through the American University in Cairo and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to conduct ethnographic research in Uganda during March 2019. Her research project examines how African refugee populations, namely Congolese and Darfuri communities, 'assemble, become, and escape' in urban settings from Amman to Cairo to Kampala. Her research hopes to show how migration within the Global South changes the humanitarian governments and societies in which these refugees reside. During her month in Uganda, she was able to connect with Father Henry Mulindwa, a local Diocesan priest and Scranton alumnus whom she met in January 2013 on the Christianity in Africa travel course.

CLASS OF ’57
In the Spring of 2019 Paraclete Press of Brewster, Ma. will present a second printing of my book: "Living The Mass: A Deeper Look at the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist". It is a new approach to the Eucharist, recognizing it as the paschal mystery by which we are saved and sanctified, and as lived out in our everyday life. The saddest thing about Catholicism today is not the sex-abuse scandal, but the appalling lack of appreciation for the Mass. At an alarming rate Catholics are not attending Holy Mass! The Eucharist is the "source and summit of the Christian life" (Lumen Gentium 11), our greatest Catholic treasure, and without it there would be no Church for it "keeps the Church in being" (Catechism 1325). I wrote the book to help in the heartbreaking situation we are in. I urge the University bookstore to sell it. While appropriate for all Christians, it also presents a challenge for theology students. I apologize for making this plug here, but I see no other way. Thank you.

Brian Shahum with father-in-law Dave Zimel
CLASS OF ’00
Brian Shahum, Scranton native and Class of 2000, was mentioned in the Portland Business Journal for his work at his family's company, Mercury Development. Mercury Development is a third generation full service commercial real estate company specializing in the development, leasing and property management of retail shopping centers. After attending the University of Scranton, Mr. Shahum moved to New York to attend law school. Upon completing his first year of school he was approached to play professional basketball in Beirut Lebanon. Brian jumped at the opportunity and left school to play basketball in Lebanon. Upon returning to the States, he moved to Brooklyn NY where he started his career with the insurance giant AIG. After working for over 8 years on Wall Street, Brian and his fiance, April Zimel, moved with the company to London, England. The two of them enjoyed three years living/working/traveling in London before moving with the company to Milan, Italy. After a year in Milan the couple decided to move back to April's home town of Portland Oregon where Brian joined the family business. Brian's role was to grow the company's real estate portfolio and investor pool. It's been almost three years and things are going very well. Just recently the Portland Business Journal did the following piece on the company and Brian. Enjoy and thank you for reading about what's new in my life. Warmest regards, Brian Shahum Slumber over for 60-year-old Portland shopping center developer PHOTO: New generation prompts commercial retail developer to expand portfolio SUBSCRIBER CONTENT: Nov 14, 2017, 11:32am PST CATHY CHENEY Mercury Development President David Zimel (right) said a younger generation of leaders is helping the Portland-based retail developer grow its portfolio for the first time in years. Those new leaders include his son-in-law, Brian Shahum (left), the company's senior director of business development and acquisitions. After a couple of sleepy decades, longtime Portland real estate developer Mercury Development is on the rise again. A specialist in shopping center development that once boasted a $105 million portfolio, Mercury isn't looking for a return to its high growth, but over-leveraged early years. Instead, its executives are riding an injection of youthful energy brought on by a new generation of leadership that it hopes will lead to a new era of measured growth. Already this year, Mercury has relocated its headquarters from Sherwood to a new and more modern office in Southwest Portland. Along with it has come new branding, a refreshed website. But its changes are far from just cosmetic. Mercury is also in full development mode after celebrating the completion of one new shopping center The Dalles and celebrating the start of another in Happy Valley. Thanks to a new team of young bucks, were reinvesting in existing properties, doing some new projects and looking for new ventures, said Dave Zimel, the company's president. Yet even with fresh blood, Mercury isn't looking to carve a new path. Its growth strategy leans heavily from the one first carved by Zimel's father more than 60 years ago. Growing on the edges Zimel leads the third-generation family business, which started out in 1933 as Portland Fixture Co. selling equipment to grocers. The company shifted in a new direction in 1956, when a customer had no address to offer for delivery of his order of grocery store fixtures. The guy told my father he didnt have a store yet, Zimel said. Before long, Zimels father, Louis, was building Southgate Center on S.E. 82nd Ave. and King Road for his customer. In the years that followed, Lou Zimel took risks by leap-frogging past other developers to build along the citys outer edges. His company went on to develop a long list of shopping centers anchored by grocery stores Oregon Trail in Gresham, Northgate Village
