Ed Boesen: Dowling's Distinguished Alumi Award??

Ed Boesen is a member of Dowling's Distinguished Alumni. The Distinguished Alumni Award? Dowling initiated the Distinguished Alumni Award in 1988. This annual award recognizes Dowling or St. Joseph graduates who have distinguished themselves and serve as positive role models for the students at Dowling Catholic High School.

Criteria:
An individual must have graduated from Dowling High School or St. Joseph Academy more than 10 years ago. Individuals should be nominated and will be selected on distinction in two of the following areas:

*Distinction in their professional life
*Distinction in service to their community
*Service as a positive and inspiring role model to young adults
*Commitment to the Dowling/SJA community

Compare Ed Boesen's life to that of Michael Ketchmark ‘83(the same year Ed graduated from Dowling)?? Mike Ketchmark represented over 300 families whose loved ones died after a Kansas City pharmacist diluted their chemotherapy drugs in order to make more money selling the drugs. Mike won a 2.2 billion dollar jury verdict for the victims of this horrible crime. Mike was recently selected by his peers as one of the “Best Lawyers” in America. Mike now focuses his practice primarily on civil rights litigation representing the victims of age, race and sex discrimination.

Do you think the folks at Dowling still believe Ed Boesen is a positive role model to young adults??
