Today, special visitor Brigadier General Tom Draude ‘58, USMC stopped by to gift the school with a copy of his book “The 4 F’s of Leadership: Lessons from the Battlefield to the Boardroom”.

While on his visit BGen. Draude visited with McNamara Juniors Mason Hemenover and Magnus Rohr, sharing stories of his days on the football field and being a part of the undefeated team of 1957.

Mrs. Bess along with other school administration were honored to spend the morning sharing stories and walking the halls of our beloved school with BGen. Draude.

Semper Fidelis!
