It turns out, Joey Carl (’13) now lives just a few doors down from Anthony! I couldn’t help but laugh when we found out. It’s too funny to think that the two St. Mary’s kids at the Academy are now living down the hall from each other!” Anthony Cabri (’15) Joey Carl (’13) Class of 2014 Wesley Thompson made the Dean’s List at Cal Lutheran University.
