When Robert was four, his father died, leaving his mother alone to raise him and seven siblings. Money was tight, so he worked at fast-food restaurants and sold carpet to put himself through Archbishop Carroll High School, Wright State University, and the Medical College of Ohio.

He volunteered for the Montgomery County Medical Society at a clinic for the homeless. He was active in his church and the community. He frequently shared with others his appreciation of his Catholic education in preparing him for higher education and life’s challenges.

Eileen Thurman made Catholic education a priority for her children.  Following the death of her husband, United States Air Force test pilot Donald Thurman in 1971, she sacrificed to send her five children through Archbishop Carroll High School.  Her children attended from 1974 through 1986.  

Ken and Ginny Sullivan moved to Dayton in 1978, and after evaluating the area schools, specifically chose Archbishop Carroll High School for their children.  Their six children attended from 1978 through 1992.  Ginny’s death came in 1985 after a battle with cancer.

The faculty and family of Archbishop Carroll High School helped both of these families deal with the tragic loss of a parent, and these two families then came together with the marriage of Ken and Eileen in 1986!  These proud Patriots have added two more Carroll High School graduates as spouses, and have had three second generation graduates.  Among their ranks are a 2010 and 2016 Carroll High School Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame Inductee, three Patriot of the Year Award winners, scholars, athletes, educators, military officers, health care workers, and business people.  Most importantly, they are faith-filled citizens and parents, owing many thanks to Carroll in their development.

It is with great pride that this scholarship is awarded to honor Ken and Eileen and their commitment to Catholic education is established. 

Ken Sullivan and Eileen Thurman Sullivan have been strong supporters of Catholic education.  This scholarship was established by their 11 children and families and awarded in their honor.  This $1,000 scholarship is available to current Archbishop Carroll High School students who demonstrate financial need, with additional consideration given to unique family circumstances, academic progress, and involvement in activities outside the classroom.  The scholarship is renewable each year as long as the student maintains good standing and financial need.

Francie attained her accounting degree from Saint Mary's College in South Bend, IN and an MBA in Finance from George Washington University in Washington, D.C.  Francie was a mom first, but also held audit and treasury positions at IC Industries, Martin Marietta, and Teradata during her professional career.

Geraldine (Gerri) Swisshelm Shane, Class of 1965, through her incredible generosity to Archbishop Carroll High School has established the Gerald Franklin Swisshelm Memorial Scholarship.  While Gerri was blessed and lucky to have been able to attend Carroll and graduate in the inaugural class, her younger brother, Gerald, was not as fortunate.  Gerald was born in 1952 with Downs Syndrome and was not able to follow a traditional educational path.  Thus, unlike Gerri and her sister, MaryLou Swisshelm Starr, Class of 1966, he was not able to attend Carroll.  Gerald died in 2008 after having lived a full, loving, and spiritual life with his parents.  Gerri is using funds from the settlement of her parents' estate to establish this memorial.  Her mother and father, Rose and Franklin Swisshelm, were long-time Carroll supporters and would have been delighted by the establishment of this memorial for their beloved son.

Proceeds from the memorial will be awarded to one deserving graduating senior each year in the amount of $1,000 each.

The awards will be made to graduating seniors who are in good academic standing and will be based on citizenship, volunteer service, scholarship, and plans for the future to help those with mental and/or physical disabilities.
