Another Successful Reunion Weekend Reunion Weekend is always a cause to celebrate and welcome back alumni. This year marked reunion classes ending in two's and seven's. It was exciting to have so many alumni come back on campus and join us for one of the many events planned for the weekend. The weekend was kicked off by the Father McNamara Alumni & Friends Golf Tournament, held once again at Shadow Pines Golf Club. Under clear blue skies, 133 golfers from the classes of 1962-2011 gathered, reminisced, and played a great round of golf! As always, alumni traveled great lengths to be with us, from places including Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico. This year’s winners were Peter Schmitt ’02, Luke Shafer ’02, Andrew Burke ’02, and Matt Nazarenko ’02. After 18 holes and a full day, golfers gathered for the traditional Stag reception. More than 225 alumni and friends joined us for this year’s dinner and all had a great time! Saturday's “Family Fun Day” included a robotics demonstration, picnic, games, tours of the school, a bounce house, and an alumni Mass celebrated by McQuaid Jesuit President Edward F. The Father Noonan Distinguished Alumnus Award was established in 1992 to honor a McQuaid Jesuit alumnus who is an active supporter of the school, who has performed distinguished service for the Church or the community, and who has performed significant work in his field or profession to the extent it brings honor to McQuaid Jesuit. Each year, we recognize this alumnus during Reunion Weekend. This year’s Alumnus of the Year was Rod Cox-Cooper ’85, Chief Executive Officer of Wilson Commencement Park. Wilson Commencement Park helps low-income, single-parent families transition from public assistance to financial independence and personal self-sufficiency. Since his graduation in 1985, Rod has been very involved in the Rochester community. Rod has been recognized as one of the Rochester Business Journal’s "40 under 40" award honorees. He also has received the Dr. Samuel McCree Jr. Award for his efforts to improve the quality of life in Rochester, and the University of Dayton Distinguished Alumni Award. Rod has served on numerous not-for-profit boards and committees 8 Reunion Weekend Salmon, S.J. All outdoor activities were held on the Tom Seymour Field and the Bob Bradley Track, which is a great place for kids of all ages to play. This year more than 50 alumni and their families joined us for our afternoon of fun. It was great to hear the many memories and stories from Knights of all ages who traveled from near and far to be with us. Highly visible construction projects such as the addition of 6,000 square feet to the end of the North Wing added excitement to the day. McQuaid has a very bright future and our alumni community like to support that feeling of growth and change. Alumni who have not been back to campus in some time were beyond impressed with the state of the school. From the Deborah & John DiMarco ’60 Field House to the new lockers, you could see the joy in our alumni as they proudly showed off “their school” to their families. Next year we will be celebrating Reunions for classes ending in 3’s and 8’s. If you are in a Reunion year, please save June 7-8, 2013 so you and your family can join us!
