Western Steds continued...

Fr. Ralph, Tim Bossidy '11 and Andy O'Connor '11

...as Steds gathering was convened on Balboa Island. Not surprisingly, the Steds gathering had a distinctive West Coast, Californian vibe to it. Suffice it to say, it was very chill event. Yes, it was chill up until the moment the corn hole set was brought out. The chill vibe dissipated as competitive spirits came out. Still, the vibe rolled back in like the tide as dinner and drinks were had. On the evening, Andrew O'Connor '11, 6th native generation Californian and Stedsman, said, "It's always fun to reconnect with college friends, but getting together with Notre Dame friends is something special. It was a joy to host Father Ralph and fellow Stedsmen for a Saturday night BBQ. Games, good food, and great company made for an awesome night. Looking forward to doing it again next year Father Ralph!!"

I am sure Fr. Ralph is too.
