"About a year ago, I was asked [by the Office of Advancement] to scan into a database individual yearbook photographs of every Calvert Hall graduate since 1920. What started as a daunting task turned into an amazing adventure of discovery and enlightenment."
"I met young men that reminded me of my 1971 classmates. I found generations of alumni — sons and fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers. They played sports, put on dramatic theater productions and celebrated their faith. They took pride in who they are, their school and what it represented."
"At that moment, I realized that as alumni, we are members of a family that spans generations. We have a sacred responsibility to those who came before us to secure the future of those who will follow in our path."
