John Henn--Veteran Profile




**Thank you to our veteran's who were gracious enough to be interviewed during our annual veteran's breakfast.  We appreciate your service!

John Henn is currently serving as an active enlisted member of the Air National Guard at the current rank of Tech Sergeant.  He has served in the Operation Iraqi Freedom campaign. He has not seen any combat, but has traveled to many different places such as: Qatar, Guam, Spain, Germany, Kyrgyzstan, France, Belgium, Lithuania, Latvia, and all over the United States.  He has gone to places with good and bad food; he has even eaten out of a tent.  To pass time, he goes to the gym, and hangs out with his friends.  Some of the pranks they play on each other are taping people to their beds, and they move people from inside to the outside.  He plans to serve another 15 in addition to the 15 he has already served.  His education was supported by the G.I. Bill.  He still goes to reunions, and the thing he loves most about the military is that he gets to help others across the world.

Melissa McConville, Math Teacher "Upon graduation from Saint Vincent College, I was awarded the President’s Award. The winner of this award was determined by the SVC college community -professors, faculty, staff and student body. This humbling and inspiring award had a big influence on my confidence as a student leaving college to find and make a place in the world. I can’t express how much it meant to me to receive this honor from so many people that believed in me and that I admired - teachers, mentors, and friends. I still feel such humility and pride as the winner of this award. I hope as a graduate and alumnus I have continued to bring pride to the Saint Vincent College community. "

Sharon Isherwood, French Teacher "When I was 26, my mother was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.  From one day to the next, I moved back to Pittsburgh from Paris and helped care for her until her passing four years later.  I have since lost my father to leukemia and have to say that I am still dealing with the loss of both of my parents.  Thanks to time, friendships and the love and support of my husband, I try to focus more on the joys of life rather than the sorrows."

Brian Duermeyer, English teacher “We used to play our games in the backyard, and we had a variety of games that were made up… a homemade lacrosse game, a run-down with a ball, Home Run Derby...and my grandmothers would act as the officials, and they would sit on the porch and watch us. There were times they would disagree about a call, but they were such lovely and honest women that they would not even argue about it; they would politely reach a conclusion and we would hang on their conclusion, because we cared about them so much.”
