Pat Cadell, Pat Buchanan and I have something in common: We all learned high school Latin from the same Jesuit teacher, Father Frank Bourbon, S.J. Buchanan and Cadell both said that Bourbon was the greatest teacher they ever had, and I concur. Buchanan wrote about him in one of his books.

Anyway, I mention this because Fr. Bourbon, scholar and raconteur without peer, would have been 86 today.


Besides agricola, the only Latin I remember was from my alter boy responses (et cum siritu tuo). I was taught by Christian Brothers (Darth Vader was based on Brother Leonard, a former Marine Drill Instructor) and one of our illustrious alums was none other than Dan Marino.
