“

I have so many and most involve laughing. But the most poignant is in 2014. My son played football for Haverford High School and was being recruited to play in college. He was probably going to play for Villanova. In October of his senior year he got injured and could no longer play football. I was talking to Mr. Hughes about the situation and as many of you know, October of senior year is when you are applying to schools. I said, “I don’t know what to do.” He said, “Did you ever think of LaSalle?” Well we hadn’t. He said to bring my son to school with me one day and he would take him up there himself. If you didn’t already know, Mr. Hughes went to LaSalle, loved it there and was on the alumni board. I protested it was too much for him to do, he was so busy, but he insisted. So that’s what we did. He drove my son to LaSalle, took him on a tour and bought him a T-shirt at the bookstore. Stephen (my son) loved LaSalle. He went there and did very well and not only got his B.A. but went on to get his M.A. He was highly involved and just loved it. Mr. Hughes and he would get together about once a month, whenever Mr. Hughes went up for a meeting. And he never failed to celebrate any accomplishment Stephen had and they continued to stay in touch.
