The
group, which consisted of area alumni and members of the Fairfield
County Alumni Chapter and the Central Connecticut Alumni Chapter,
enjoyed a barbeque picnic in the ballpark picnic area before taking
their seats, just four rows from the field along the third base
line!
In addition to great seats and lively company, guests received
St. John’s alumni baseball caps which they proudly wore as they
settled in to catch all the action of the game. Many expressed
their satisfaction with the event and the opportunity to gather
because of the strong bond they still feel with alma mater
years after graduation.
“St. John’s has meant so much to me and it’s great to see
alumni and friends come out and enjoy a nice day at the ballpark,”
commented Philip Wax, Jr. ’66Ed, ’69G. “I always try to make these
outings because I am so proud of my St. John’s connection.”
Paul Bailo ’86CBA also shared his sense of pride in the
University. “St. John’s is like a family to me,” he stated. “I
still keep in touch with my classmates and friends and really enjoy
these gatherings that keep me connected.”
