My compliments to my wife Debbie for all of the hard work she has put in to make Saturday a wonderful event. I just push the mower, edge the walkways, and weed as part of the landscaping service..... ;-) We are hopeful for a range of attendance from 25-50 people. (sorry about that Nunesy) Unfortunately, we are battling with the last weekend of Seafair with the Blue Angels and Hydros on Lake Washington in town this entire weekend. Let's cross our fingers for the weather to hold..... Jake C, '94 Last Edited By: Urika Jul 29 08 11:56 AM. Edited 1 times.

In all, we had 35 guests including 3 incoming freshman and their families. Unfortunately, I can not personally report on any good stories being told as Debbie and I played the gracious hosts roles. Our oldest Gael was Louis Lotorto from class of 1955. He made a very nice toast to the freshman before the party broke up. ODEASMCGU made it by as well. (nice to put a face to the moniker....by the way, we may take you up on the offer for "professional" help from the restaurant!) The vibe was great. Although we battled against the last weekend of Seafair, everyone in attendance was thankful for the event and looking forward for future Seattle happenings. I think that the freshman families really came away with affirmation to their decisions of sending their kids to SMC. My thanks to my wife Debbie, aka tomgyrl31. She did the majority of heavy lifting and her attention to details showed. Jake C, '94

We feel that it was the beginnings of an Annual Alumni Gathering. We had about 35-40 people in total come; Alums from as recent as class of '08 to class of '55 and representations of all of the decades in between. Much like the posters here on GodIsAGael, many alum from the 1960's attended. We had undergrads, extended ed, Master's and one gentleman even received his PhD from SMC! It was a nice representation of St. Mary's decades of graduates and their disciplines. We even had the great honor to finally meet ODEASMCGU in person - what a great guy and true blue Gael! Three accepted incoming freshman also attended with their parents and all wanted to know "stories" from the alums as to what to expect. All that kept rolling off my tongue was, "remember, we hate Santa Clara!" LOL Plus, it certainly wasn't hard to talk about our fantastic basketball team, our NCAA trip to Little Rock and our amazing Aussie Olympian, Patty Mills. As for me, I think the greatest thing about our event was the people. What an amazing, positive influence attending SMC has been a blessing to all of us. Wonderful people, a wonderful college - definitely a "family" of connected people. We all spoke highly of our time and experiences at St. Mary's like it was yesterday. Jake and I are already looking forward to next year as we get the Seattle Chapter off the ground! Thanks again to everyone who participated - especially Courtney Carmignini, our Asst. Alumni Director, who did come up from the college specifically to attend our event. We did take pictures of the party and once I look thru them, I'm happy to post a few here. Proud now and always to be a Gael! Kid Lester - we hope you'll make it next year and "reveal" yourself!
