Questions

Favorite High School Memory: This one is tough. I think I just loved seeing everyone on a daily basis in the hall and in class. The variety shows and pep assemblies were insane—remember the Renaissance assemblies? Escadrille and the cheerleader routines were fun to watch. Football games on Friday nights, of course. Am I in trouble if I can't name just one?

Favorite High School Class: Diane Tinucci's AP Lit. Wonderful books, even better discussions. Yeah, I'm a book nerd.

Favorite High School Activity: Well this is hard too. I remember just laughing at stories from the weekends, people being crazy and awkward. But you know one very cool memory was finding an old first aid kit and some personal mementos from a parachuter in the floorboards of the plane we helped rehab with Wings of Hope and Key Club. That was a very cool thing to witness.

In high school, I'd spend my weekends: With friends! How else should they have been spent?!

In 2010, I spend my weekends: Still with friends. Hanging out, grabbing a few beers.

Anything else to add about Lafayette or the Class of 2002?
I am so warmed by the dedication this class has demonstrated to the memories of our passed classmates. Some I knew well, some regrettably not as well as I now wish I had. Lafayette was a special place for so many of us, and while I know I'm not always able to participate in the activities related to the scholarships, I feel so proud that members of the Class of 2002 put aside time in their hectic lives to continue to honor these young men and their families.
