text: The De La Salle Christian Brothers were privileged to be the recipients of Bob's talents as he went about the design of the Chapel in the new addition to De La Salle College on Michigan Road in the early 60's.  It was dedicated to Christ the Teacher- appropriate to our teaching order.  It featured the unheard of in DC at the time -the altar facing the people with benches radiating out from it.  The gilded icon image of Christ the Teacher was cut into the beige brick wall  and visible from all sight lines.  There were anxious months for the Brothers before this design was presented to Cardinal O'Boyle,  Fortunately, he was an alum of a FSC run college and subsequently made an Affiliated member of our Institute.  The Brothers rep at CUA over the years - both  faculty and students was stellar.  These factors figured into his approval.  
  Other altars facing the people soon followed in the years following.  The College closed and went through several transformations - dooming Bob's Chapel .
