In 1976, Daniel Beaton began working as a custodian for Boston College as a 24-year-old father of three. Now, as a truck driver for BC’s mail services, Beaton has sent four of his five kids to BC, and is in his 45th year of marriage while approaching his 42nd year as a BC employee.
He has seen four decades of BC’s progress as an academic institution, ensured an education for his children that he did not receive himself, and has grown to embody the institution’s challenge to its community: men and women for others.
