Following is a quote from the letter written by John Looby for the election of Charles F. Shea to the Catholic School Hall of Fame:

August 21, 2005

As a high school freshman entering St. Mary High School, I first learned of the Charles Shea Award, which was given each year to one high school senior. Because the award recognized a student for outstanding character and athletic and scholastic achievement, it was considered a great honor to receive it. I was awarded the Charles Shea Award my senior year, and I can honestly say receiving this award meant more to me than being voted First Team, All State, in both the AP and UPI Press Polls. I felt a great sense of pride when receiving this award, and it made me want to live up to the high standards it represented.

The reason there was no award given in 1977 was because somebody stole some game jerseys from the locker room. It would have been a tight competition.

I took a lot of pride in being named as the Shea Award winner back in '82-'83. Brings back a lot of great memories!
