John J. O'Hara Sr.

I had the pleasure of working with John when he was Director of Campus Safety and I was Dean of Students at Mitchell College. John was a true professional and a gentleman. Whatever the circumstances, he always treated students, faculty and staff with respect and dignity. He was a valued member of the campus community.

the story of him saving my life when I was a very small child choking on a hard candy.
To hear him tell me that story gave me...
