Canton, OH | Youngstown, OH

Also known as: dick_ross

Dick Ross lives.  We are grandparents. We continue to have special relationship with our adopted children. We no longer foster but while we did, I learned a lot about me. Our house was always filled with others. My mother as she recovered from open heart surgery which had its own role to play in my life. Other relatives who would come to stay for a month or a year. Exchange students from all over the world blessed our home and enriched our life.We lived in an extraordinary neighborhood of working class families on what was thought of as "the other side of town." How little they knew. Besides our involvement in parish life, there has been almost always a faith community gathering in our home. At the beginning there was L'Chaim (Hebrew, “to life,”) I think, and now there is the Sant Egidio Community; its own marvelous story. But perhaps the most meaningful has been an event that has occurred every year for 30+ years when 20 or so persons have gathered to celebrate a Seder on Holy Thursday. When Bill and Norma now in their late 80's arrive from Michigan.  Wow!!As I mentioned in my summary, to earn a living, I taught intermittently at Walsh University from 1978 through 2008, I worked as a manager in a government program, CETA [Comprehensive Employment and Training Act] from 1978 - 1980, from 1980 - 1990 I was employed by a mid size corporation as Director of Personnel and then as Director of Training. I then moved into the social service world, spending 14 years from 1994 through May of 2009 as what ultimately came to be titled, Chief Administrative Officer. I was to learn about the world of abused, abandoned, neglected children, therapeutic foster care, the utter significance of the first two years of life, that not all moms were like my mom or my wife, and what it means to care for children who at the very center of their existence is profound fear. What a revelation; another major change. About 10 years ago I started teaching a small adult scripture study group at the local parish which has grown in number and interest year by year. I found myself also teaching in the parish RCIA program.  A number of individuals who experienced the RCIA program have been motivated to continue their educational growth as members of the adult scripture group.  In fact, it was one of them that suggested I take the scripture study on line.Intellectual curiosity was a gift given to me from my earliest age. It is that curiosity that has driven me in a number of ways. Almost every year since 1974 I have attend a week long Lonergan Workshop held at Boston College. I have been captivated by his thought, have worked to achieve some level of self-appropriation in his cognitional theory. Scholars from all over the world gather, and I was to discover my modest presence within that global group. I have read most of the published works of Lonergan and struggled through Insight, a seminal work, maybe eight times or so. Only biblical studies has occupied more of my reading. Susan has somehow created space for me to read about an hour or two a day nearly every day of my adult life.
