I have many very fond memories of the school all the “Men of Assumption” still love and respect. Hoping to hear from some of my old band buddies from 1956-61, and teachers too…c’mon we’re all old now! I used to play trombone, in case anyone forgot. I still contact Fr. Mailloux our great music legendary leader. Jimmy Tamborini passed on a short while back…God bless him. He was something…never forget “Jimmy”.
Well guys, I’m waiting to see who sends me an email to say hi once again.

Hello, my Dad went to Assumption and I am not sure if he granduated in 1957 or 1958. He was in the band and played the saxaphone and was also on the football team. My Dad died 4 years ago and I cannot find any of his yearbooks nor do I have any school pictures of him. I don’t know where to look or find any info about his years at highschool. Since you were there from 56-61 I was wondering if you maybe knew my Dad. His name is Agostino Vincent Savoni. I hope that you can help me with my search. I only have pictures of him from my parents wedding and his life after that but I have no pictures of him before that. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank-you kindly,
Cheri Savoni
Dear Cheri, I am sorry but the name doesn’t ring a bell…of course there were around 1100 guys there . But I do recall that when my grad year came along there was no more “year-book”. Perhaps you can try to find past issues of “the Reporter” the school newspaper. Now maybe you might find a pic of your Dad in there somewhere. Good luck with that and it’s a pleasure to talk with you. May God bless…. Bill Radigan
Bill,
Perhaps this is a long shot, but I was wondering if, during your time at Assumption, you knew of Brother Joseph Mitchell. He was a young Brother at Redeemer College during the time you were at Assumption. Brother Mitchell (deceased) and a fellow Brother from the college were responsible for a number of sexual assaults. (including myself: 1961)
Since Mitchell is deceased and I don’t have the name of his cohort, the investigating detective from the O.P.P. has terminated the investigation began last year. Although Mitchell’s victims with whom I have spoken, have chosen not to come forward, I can’t help but think there are others out there who knew his “partner in crime” and have knowledge that would aid in this case.
To avoid personal liability, please contact me through Sylvia’s email rather than this post. (see: home page)
Thank you
Elizabeth
