As a member of the Mount Carmel High School Board of Directors, and especially as chairman of the Finance Committee, Jim Finn was incredibly supportive and worked diligently to increase salaries and provide benefits for faculty that better reflected their value to the school. I have nothing but respect and appreciation for his generosity and support over many years.
