What is a fond memory you’ve had as a CS minor: The class retreat for All Thing Ignatian at LUREC had good movies, good company and Fr. Murphy! Need I say any more?
Favorite Saint: St. Benedict. Somewhere in Lahey family history we began to associate him with parking spaces, and now he is my parking space intercessor.
