uled for sentencing in Septem-

days. He is due back in court
Sept. 6.
Prosecutors said Steber told
police he “definitely had a plan
and was going to do something
by Christmas.” He told police he
had chosen to attend the uni-
versity because he thought it
was easier to buy guns in North
Carolina.
McFatter said he found out
about Steber’s arrest when one
of his friends texted him Ste-
ber’s booking photo. At first,
McFatter couldn’t believe it. He
thought the image might have
been altered. But then reality
sank in.
The news was “somehow

uSTEBER

shocking and unsurprising at

the same time,” he said.

McFatter said he spent three

years at the Newman School

with Steber before they gradu-

ated in June. Steber generally

got along with people “when

the conversation was light,” Mc-

Fatter said, but he “despised lib-

erals” and went out of his way

to make his political opinions

known.

“He had very strong stances,

that we should have guns, guns

are good, and guns are impor-

tant,” he said. “Those beliefs

were upsetting to a lot of people

in class. But he stood by them.

He had very strong opinions if

anybody opposed him.”

The Newman School, a pri-

vate school in the Back Bay, en-

rolls about 250 students.

Steber often used a laptop in

class, and students could see

him looking up hockey scores

and information about firearms

training, McFatter said. Steber

would also look up election re-

sults and read about which

states had more Republicans

and Democrats in Congress, he

said.

“In some classes, we’d have

to steer the topic away from

politics” to keep Steber from go-

ing into a “downward spiral

that would leave a lot of people

upset.”

“He was vehemently pro-

gun,” McFatter said. “He did

bring up the NRA a lot. One day

he approached me and asked

me what I thought of the NRA.

I just nodded and gave a non-

answer. He said, ‘I think they’re

a great organization,’ and said

he’d love to work for them.”

McFatter, who attends

Worcester Polytechnic Insti-

tute, said he hasn’t been in

touch with Steber since gradua-

tion.

In the school yearbook, Ste-

ber is pictured wearing a white

shirt and red tie. His yearbook

entry included two quotations:

“Whatever you do, do it in the

most outstanding and exciting

way possible!” and “I’m from

the government and I’m here to

help,” a phrase that President

Ronald Reagan famously de-

scribed as the “nine most terri-

fying words in the English lan-

guage.”

On Thursday, the Newman

School’s headmaster, J. Harry

Lynch, said the news of Steber’s

arrest came as a “total shock.”

“The news that one of our

former students is alleged to

have threatened such violence

is of course deeply disturbing,”

he wrote in a letter informing

parents of the charges against

Steber. “Although it is generally

our policy not to comment pub-

licly about current and former

students, I do want to reassure

you that at no time did we have

any information to suggest that

he might choose a violent path.”

Lynch assured parents the

school would be taking steps to

ensure students’ safety.

“Over the next few days, I

will be talking with faculty and

staff to make sure that our re-

porting procedures — both in-

ternally and externally — are as

tight as they can be and that we

are continuing to err on the

side of caution as we follow

them,” he said.

“At the same time, we will al-

so be evaluating how we can

further encourage our students

to let us know if they see or hear

any conduct on campus that

causes them concern so that we

can follow up.”

Golden had an idea, and
General Casey’s old BC High
and Georgetown classmate,
Judge Chris Muse, had encour-
aged him to run it by General
Casey: Why not create a memo-
rial to General Casey’s father,
the elder General Casey?
Thus, in a small office in
war-torn Iraq, began an odys-
sey of more than a decade that
ended Wednesday afternoon in
a park next to Harvard Stadi-
um named for a Marine from
Allston, William Smith, who
was killed in World War I.
Like that scene in “It’s a
Wonderful Life,” when all of
George Bailey’s friends rush in-
to his living room with dona-
tions, all of George Casey’s
friends chipped in: With Mayor
Marty Walsh’s blessing and en-
couragement, Golden got his
VFW and his city agency be-
hind the effort and began the
long, elaborate approval pro-
cess; Tom Keady from Boston
College got BC to kick in
$100,000 for a bronze sculp-
ture by the great Pablo Eduar-
do, who created the sculpture

neuil Hall and the Marathon

Memorial in Copley Square.

And then there was Har-

vard.

George Casey Sr. attended

Harvard for one year before

transferring to West Point.

After he became Army chief

of staff in 2007, General

George Casey Jr. asked Har-

vard president Drew Faust to

lift the ban on ROTC on cam-

pus, a prohibition that went

back to the Vietnam War pro-

tests. He spoke of all those

names of Harvard men on the

walls of Memorial Church, not-

ed that only West Point and the

Naval Academy in Annapolis

had produced more Medal of

Honor recipients than Har-

vard. It was a civil discussion,

but Faust wouldn’t budge. She

said she couldn’t let ROTC

back on campus until the mili-

tary stopped banning LGBTQ

people from service.

On the day “Don’t Ask,

Don’t Tell” was repealed in

2012, Drew Faust called

George Casey Jr. to tell him

there was an ROTC office at

Harvard waiting and ready.

In recent years, the city of

Boston and Harvard have

spent more than $6 million to

renovate Smith Field, includ-

ing a refit of the amphitheater

named for Major General

George W. Casey Sr.

On Wednesday, with Gover-

nor Charlie Baker, Mayor

Walsh, Brian Golden, Tom

Keady, and a host of dignitaries

and the great people of Allston

looking on, they unveiled

something just 400 yards from

the house where George W.

Casey Sr. grew up, a memorial

that, like old soldiers, will nev-

er die.

The general’s son looked to

the heavens and smiled.

Rally your troops in Dover for a
bit of good luck. That’s the city
where Bill Clinton, facing accu-
sations of womanizing and
draft-dodging, made the most
important speech of his 1992
campaign. “I’ll never forget
who gave me a second chance,”
he told New Hampshire Demo-
crats, “and I’ll be there for you
till the last dog dies.” Shortly
afterward, Clinton declared
himself the Comeback Kid and
went on to win the White
House.
ROther can’t-miss back-
drops abound. In 2008, when
the grueling Democratic pri-
mary was finally over, Barack
Obama and Hillary Clinton ap-
peared together, arm-in-arm,
in Unity, N.H. — get it? Other
inspirational spots to consider:
Freedom. Lincoln. Jefferson.
(And one to perhaps avoid:
Dummer.)

RBeware hokey stunts. In

the 2000 campaign, longshot

Republican Gary Bauer gamely

participated in a pancake-flip-

ping contest. What do people

remember about that poten-

tially charming moment? He

fell off the stage. And eventual-

ly, off the ballot.

RWhile we’re at it, beware

the perils of a little crying.

When Edmund Muskie teared

up in Manchester in 1972 (al-

legedlyteared up — it might

have been snow melting on his

face), it was the beginning of

the end of his campaign. But

by 2008, the world had seem-

ingly changed. When Hillary

Clinton was moved to tears in

Portsmouth that year, she gen-

erated sympathy from voters —

and went on to beat Barack

Obama in the state.

RChoose your New Hamp-

shire friends carefully. Those

working hard for your election

might just be imagining an

ambassadorship in your ad-

ministration — or more.

Dwight Eisenhower chose New

Hampshire Governor Sherman

Adams to be his chief of staff.

George H.W. Bush picked New

Hampshire Governor John H.

Sununu for the same gig. Both

ended up resigning under fire.
