MILESTONES
50 Years and Still Men for Others Fifty years of life after Loyola is a major milestone, so the members of the Class of 1963 decided to commemorate their 50th reunion last June with a grand gesture: a class gift of $53,000 to establish a scholarship for Ramblers in need. The gift will be used to fund a $10,000 Class of 1963 Scholarship for one Rambler each year for five consecutive years. When the class celebrates its 55th Reunion in 2018, the members plan to fund another scholarship to help more Ramblers. But this spirited reunion celebration wasn’t just about giving. It was also about reconnecting as nearly 80 alumni rambled in from all over the country to commune with their former Loyola classmates. “Both during and since the reunion, our classmates have been extraordinarily generous with their praise and gratitude,” the reunion committee reported in a post-event letter. “They enjoyed the golf outing, the cocktail party, the architectural tour, the dinner and the school tour. In particular, the Mass touched hearts, with its votive procession commemorating our deceased classmates, while classmate Deacon John Lucas assisted Loyola President Rev. Pat McGrath, SJ, in celebrating the Eucharist. Later, during dinner, our veterans were formally recognized, while the inimitable Pat Boyle, SJ, appeared in person to be cheered for his dual Silver Stars service to us and our country. It doesn’t get better than this!”
