Fausto is correct.
The answer to the diaconate quiz of yesterday is: Michael Cole, in 1969, was ordained a deacon by Bishop Fulton J. Sheen of the diocese of Rochester, New York. Cole had been an Anglican priest. Unfortunately, fairly soon after his diaconate ordination, he left the Church and returned to the Anglican Church in Canada.
The second permanent deacon in the United States was Deacon Paul Mc Ardle, who was ordained on May 24, 1970 for the diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph by Bishop Charles Helmsing. Deacon Mc Ardle died in 2010 after a long and fruitful ministry.
