30 Prep Today
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a tradition for the Prep Community. The
annual Food Drive collected hundreds of bags of food
to help those in nearby communities. The Prep student
body assembled at Alumni Hall to give thanks and honor faculty
and administration. Cross Country alumni joined with
current team members to run the annual Pequot 5 Mile Race.
And everyone gathered for the annual football game versus
West Haven, reconnecting with friends and showing Fairfield
Prep spirit! As St. Ignatius Loyola inspired us, “Lord, teach me to
be generous. Teach me to serve you as you deserve; to give
and not to count the cost.”
L-r: Rev. Larry Ryan, S.J. (26 years), Dr. Donna Andrade (30 years), Mr. John Brennan (30 years),
Mr. Tony Canuel (30 years), Mr. Greg Marshall ’73 (30 years), Mr. Dave Driscoll (35 years), and
Dr. Robert Perrotta (40 years) recognized for outstanding service by Rev. John Hanwell, S.J.
A Prep tradition for 16 years, Dr. Ray Panda ’58 has been the voice of
Fairfield Prep football for our home games. He retired from announcing
at the 2009 Thanksgiving game. Presenting Dr. Panda with a plaque is
Athletic Director Steve Donahue ’92 (far right). Also pictured with Dr.
Panda are his sons Brendan ’96 and Ken ’88. We thank Dr. Panda for
his faithful and serving spirit.
