Ad majorem Dei gloriam
This blog post is dedicated to the memory of Gerry Haugh.
Gerry was my English teacher from 2001-2007 and yet he seemed to be much more than that. He was an institution in Belvedere College and whether you'd see him in class, in the yard at break or at one of his shows he always gave an air of caring about what he did. He was a proponent of what you might call the old school, it was not unusual to see him in old schoolmasters' robes something which set him apart from his contemporaries.
Gerry gave so much to Belvedere, whether it be the 100 productions he put on with the Dramatic Society or in helping out with the Block-pull. He was also an inspiring teacher and the reason I began to write in earnest in the first place. Words can not describe the deep sadness that has taken hold of me since hearing the news. It seems that I, much like the countless others, believed he would always be there.
