"I feel if you want to have good
law enforcement, good courts, good government, then
put good people in those positions, on the front lines,"
says California Highway Patrol Officer Rex Mohun, Class
of ’90. Rex is literally on the front lines, patrolling
the highways of Ventura County. Rex sees his job as
a logical one for a Thomas Aquinas graduate. He was
always interested in law enforcement and had already
served in the military prior to starting college.
When, as a student, he philosophized
about the role of government, he felt that looking out
for the safety of its people made sense. Now, as a peace
officer, he is involved with teaching, the promulgation
and enforcement of the law, and promoting public safety.
Following his graduation, Rex and Serena
(Grimm, member of the Class of ’87) lived in New
Hampshire, where Rex taught in a Legionnaries for Christ
school for boys. Now they and their six children live
in Santa Paula where they enjoy the proximity of their
extended family and friends. Serena’s celebrated
coloratura soprano once again graces musical events
in St. Joseph Commons.
Rex remembers fondly the debates in
the Residences during his college days. The tools acquired
during class were put to good use in the evenings, discussing
everything from great moral issues to rock and roll,
he recalls. It’s helpful, too, in reasoning with
motorists who don’t see things his way!
