THE MICHAEL DOYLE FUND

Friends and family members have created a special fund commemorating Michael Doyle, a former staff member of ACT Programs in the late 1970’s. His family knew of the great times and wonderful memories Mr. Doyle frequently shared, and the special feelings he carried about our program. "The diversity all of us have come to expect when coming to ACT, was especially meaningful to Mike," says Mr. José V. Torres. "He enjoyed the diversity of interests, children and adults who came to play under the shadow of the largest gothic cathedral in the world."
