... the way! Steds has been leading the way ever since 1882, and we haven't looked back nor succeeded like that other hall on campus. And like his former residence hall, Joe Meares '10 was doing the same at this year's St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York City. Joined by his father, Joe Sr. '75, also of Steds, the Meares duo were the standard bearers for the ND Club of New York, carrying the American and Irish flags in the parade. Thanks to them, once again, as only Steds can, Steds was at the forefront, leading the way. On the honor, Meares said, “Despite expecting to merely march behind the Notre Dame banner, my father and I were thrust into service of Our Lady, ultimately carrying the American and Irish flags for 30 city blocks. Luckily we had hydrated properly prior to the parade.”
