(Are the Good Times Really Over?)
To: nickcarraway
This article just came out:
Thomas Aquinas College president killed in Ireland accidentThomas Dillon, the president of Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, died today in a car accident in Ireland.
Dillon, president of the Catholic college for 18 years, was in Ireland attending a conference for the International Council of Universities of St. Thomas Aquinas, college spokeswoman Anne Forsyth said. He was just a really fine man, Forsyth said. Its hard to think of the world without him. Its certainly hard to think of the college without him.
The college learned of Dillons death this morning from an Irish police officer, Forsyth said. Dillons wife, Teri, was slightly injured in the accident. Further details were not immediately available.
Today is the last day of spring break, but students already on campus were told the news at a gathering in the chapel this afternoon, Forsyth said.
In addition to his wife, Dillon is survived by four children and their spouses, Thomas and his wife, Elizabeth, of Massachusetts; Christine Ellis and her husband, Thomas, of Fillmore; Maria Forte and her husband, Domiane, of Santa Paula; and Daniel of Santa Paula; and 15 grandchildren.

Please, please pray for the school. This is a huge loss. Dr. Dillon was remarkable and such a gift.

Oh my, this is really sad news. TAC is one of the best truly Catholic liberal arts colleges in the nation. May his soul rest in peace.

My circle includes a large number of TAC alums - all very impressive.
The school is clearly a special institution and this is a terrible loss.

Very sorry for your personal loss. Sounds like he was a fine man and Christian.
If you don't mind a related inquiry, was it this college that ousted from its board several years ago the CEO of Carl's Jr. (CKE) because of their inappropriate (bawdy) commercials? Or is my memory faulty?
