O'Dea 88

Gentlemen - a happy update on this Ash Wednesday. Dave LaFazia is doing well post surgery, hopefully headed home to finish recovery as soon as this weekend.

Gentlemen- Dave LaFazia is having heart surgery either Sunday or Monday, likely quadruple bypass. Heck of a Valentines gift. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Fellas, it's Giving Tuesday today, and O'Dea has a pretty big match on the line. If they can hit 450 donations today - any size - Mr. Simperman [senior] has another $20K for the Irish.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Go Irish!

Fellas,

It is almost beyond words to say how awesome it was to get to see some of us out last Friday night, celebrating 35 years since we graduated! There are more pictures that were shared via email already, but I wanted to get at least one up here as well. Stay safe and healthy and we'll see you all next time! [when, to quote JoeMo, it will be - "walkers in the front, canes in the back!"]

Looking forward to seeing some of you tomorrow night at the Mariners game! Regardless of where you are, happy 35th gentlemen!

Gentlemen: I learned yesterday that the Class of 05 has funded their class endowment. So they're the first ones.

We're about 16K away. It's super easy to set up a monthly auto-payment, reach out to me if you're interested. I'd love to have us be next for this! - John
