George  Santi was born on July 7, 1936, in Highland Park, Illinois.  He attended St. George High School in  Evanston, Illinois, and it was from there that he entered the Juniorate at  Glencoe, Missouri, on February 2, 1952.   He progressed to the Novitiate where he received the habit and the  religious name of Brother Lucian Roland.   He attended St. Mary's College in Winona, Minnesota, and in 1956  received his first teaching assignment at Christian Brothers College in  Memphis, Tennessee, in the high school division.  A year later he was assigned to Benilde  High School in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, and served there from 1957 to  1963.  The next two years he spent  teaching at La Salle High School in Cincinnati, Ohio, before being assigned  to Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  There in 1968 he became Principal and  remained there until 1974 when he was appointed to the formation staff of the  District at Glencoe.  He served there  for three years in that capacity before becoming the first director of La  Salle Retreat Center in that same location.   He had moved to Christian Brothers College High School in 1980 and  because of an existing heart condition, he slowed his work pace, assisting in  school retreats.  He died at age  forty-six of a sudden heart attack while driving a car through Forest Park,  having been a De La Salle Christian Brother for thirty years.
