John Flaherty, former Yankee, St. Anthony Alumnus 1. St. Anthony's alumnus Question: You’ve kept a close relationship with St. Anthony’s in Nanuet, where you attended grades 1 through 8. The school has brought you back to speak to the students and they've raffled off your donated items to raise money. What was special about your time there? Answer: One of the things my parents did a great job with and also my sister and brothers was keeping me grounded and remembering where you came from. When I think about where I came from, it's St. Anthony's Parish and St. Anthony's School. It's the foundation from a Catholic faith standpoint that was the rock of our family. And the education there was the foundation for moving on to St. Joe's and later to GW.
