Rod Tayler wrote on Facebook for our #ThankYouPriory campaign, “I am thankful for Father Maurus, by far the best teacher I ever had, better than any I had while at a prestigious college and a top-rated medical school. I have tried to follow in his footsteps by becoming a science teacher. Jack Belliveau ‘77, a pioneer in brain imaging, told me many times over the 40 years we were friends (we first became close as classmates in Fr. Maurus’ biology class at The Priory in 1974) that Father Maurus was the best teacher he ever had, too.” Rod is now a science teacher at Lake Tahoe School.
