Stories of Interest DAN S SOLEMN PROFESSION Gratefully submitted by the Bernard Dengler family..treu Kolping! On Saturday, January 30th of this year, as intimate family and friends gathered at the Crypt of the National Basilica of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Washington, DC, twelve men prostrated on the stone floor and took their Solemn Vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience. These new permanent Dominican Brothers, completed yet another step toward their Dominican preparation as priests, which will culminate in the next few years at Ordination. Among the twelve was a former member of the New York Kolping Board and advisor of the Kolping Vocational Apostolate, KOVA, Daniel R. Dengler. Daniel joined his other eleven candidate Brothers for Solemn Profession in the Order of Preachers in the privilege of serving the mission of the Catholic Church in bringing, nurturing and explaining the Faith of Our Fathers to all peoples of our world. As his family shared the Reception for the now-brother Pier-Giorgio Dengler, OP, at the Dominican House of Studies across the street from the National Basilica, the sun shone brightly on the new-fallen snow in our county s Capital City. The festive and communal celebration was shared with the entire Dominican Community at their Seminary all day! The newly professed Brothers ask us for prayers for their perseverance and success in their mission, as we, The Catholic Kolping Society, join with them in Spirit! MARCH MADNESS and KOLPING submitted by Norbert Dengler The Old Timer Most people know at least the sport fans or sports minded folks in the USA that the term March Madness refers to this time of the year when organized basketball play with multitudes of tournaments and playoff games, on college, high school and younger levels, all come together and to end the basketball season all over the city, the regionals, states and throughout our country. Truly, America s sport. Most people DO NOT know in fact only a very, very few, even Kolping members, know the unique connection that MARCH MADNESS has with New York Kolping, or perhaps even that New York Kolping had members as a team playing competitive big city basketball. In the only Basketball shutout game known in history, Albert Chick Sartorius led the New York KOLPING basketball team in its 63 0 historic WIN over the East Side House Stars. KOLPING s team included George Ulrich, Bobby Hersam, Norbert Dengler, John Schneider, Joe Fisher, John Noonan, Sal Maddi, Tom Dugan, Sal Mineo and Mal Wallace, who all joined in the overpowering victory. The win propelled KOLPING to its first place standing and the championship of the East Side House Manhattan league made up of high school age boys teams, in Yorkville Manhattan. Chick Sartorius playing at Guard and Forward positions was one of the high scorers as well as in scoring assists, blocked shots and offensive rebounds and voted MVP. Brooklyn Kolping Soccer and Cincinnati Kolping Soccer teams took continual bragging rights about their powerhouse Soccer teams. Cincinnati even played International and German teams. In fact, New York Kolping s Soccer team led by such stalwarts as Eugene Grimm and Max Grimm in the 1930s, had established Kolping as a recognized sports power in pre-wwii New York. However, in basketball, with the help of Albert Sartorius Sr., whose firm made and outfitted the Kolping basketball team s Black and Orange, bold, striking uniforms, and Theobald Dengler VIII, Kolping Board member and Attorney for Kolping, George Holzner, Herman Teesch, Karl Hersam, Ludwig Strobel and others, authorized and organized the basketball team in the postwar 1940s; and the team went on to history. A SHUT-OUT GAME IN BASKETBALL! TALK ABOUT MARCH MADNESS!

Stories of Interest SO PROUDLY WE HAIL: The Life of Captain Alice Zwicker, U.S. Army Nurses Corp. (1916-1976) submitted by Martin A. Kelly If they had decided to cast a new Statue of Liberty, the artists could have chosen no better lady to serve as model than the late Capt. Alice Zwicker, U.S. Army Nurses Corp. She epitomized the virtues that made America great. Born in Brownville, a backwater town in Maine on August 6, 1916, she was one of four children. Growing up during the Great Depression, she developed a spirit of service to others; namely in health care. She entered Eastern Maine General Hospital in 1934, the first step in her studies. On rotation at Boston Children s Hospital she contracted undulant fever, a disease in which the immune system attacks the host s body tissue, especially, the heart. After being cured, she resumed her studies and was graduated with the R.N. (Registered Nurse) degree. But Alice wanted to see more of the world and what better way to do it than join the Army Medical Corp. World peace (1938-41) teetered on a narrow wire. The threat in the Atlantic was obvious but not ominous; in the Pacific invisible, but imminent. Commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant, Alice was stationed in the Philippines. On Sunday, December 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, inflicting tremendous damage. What had been a war in Europe became a World War. The strategy of the Allies was to give priority to the dangers in the Atlantic. After all, the Kriegsmarine sank 1,170 allied vessels there in 1942. This meant the bases in the Pacific were to be sacrificed to the Japanese invaders. Bataan fell April 9, 1942 and Corregidor May 5. The nurses, Army and some Navy, were assigned to a hospital for POWs (Prisoners of War, American and other defenders) on what had been Santo Thomas University. They were undersupplied, malnourished, and exposed to tropical diseases. In spite of their best efforts, the average daily death count was 9. Alice contracted tuberculosis from working on the contagious ward. Later, it would ruin her marriage prospects when a suitor whose family had a history of the disease, changed his plans. On their release, after almost 3 years living under slavish conditions, Alice and her comrades were promoted to Captain and given appropriate medals for heroic service. Fêted for their heroism, they formed a service organization and were hailed as the Angels (Angels of Bataan). Alice came down with full-blown T.B. and was required to have her left lung removed. At the V.A. hospital, she met the Chaplin, Father George McKeon. He reconciled some doubts she had in Christianity. Brought up Protestant, she consulted a Catholic Chaplin in the prison camp (where he served as a medic) about the futility of their confinement. He had no answer, but Father George McKeon did and she became a Catholic. Later she would marry a former POW, Frank McAlevey in 1968. They resided in Park Slope, Brooklyn. On June 28, 1976, she died in the Methodist Hospital. She and her husband are interned in Holy Cross Cemetery, Brooklyn. Alice and the other fine women with whom she served, had experienced their share of blood, sweat, and tears for the country they loved. Like in the Old Soldier s ballad, Ich hat ein Kamaderin it ends. Sie sollen schlafen in himmischer Ruh. Reference: Angel of Bataan: The Life of a World War II Army Nurse in the War Zone and at Home.
