Br. Paul Meinhardt (1910-1969)

Father Paul Meinhardt passed away August 15, 1969.

Carpenter, plasterer, painter, manager of Raven Roost, campus postmaster, and residence hall counselor, library aid, and confrere hunter; this was Brother Paul.  Perhaps he is best known as the brother who managed the Raven Roost and he was present there to serve, listen and advise hundreds of students in his lifetime.  He was soft spoken and had a winning smile. 

Brother Paul loved Raven Athletics and was delighted at the two National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national basketball championships the Raven teams won in 1954 and 1967.  There is a piece of a goal post on display at the Roost from a Central Intercollegiate Conference Football Championship.  Alumni of his era remember him fondly.
