Up, up, and...

All smiles, but what about his co-pliot?

...Stedsman away! When he's not trying to convert wayward FSU sisters, see January 26th's posting, Brendan McCarthy '09 is flying high. On his recent flight, Brendan shared some thoughts:

St. Ed: How was the flight?

McCarthy: It was like a "Weary Traveler's" Mass with Fr Ralph - a blur!  I'm proud to still be able to say the only thing I've ever been ejected from is a St Ed's hockey game. It was almost as exciting as going to the UCLA or Michigan State game in 2006...or Oklahoma and USC in 2012.  This one is up there though, slightly ahead of blocking a punt in interhall football."

St. Ed: Is there anyone you'd like to thank?

McCarthy: I'd like to thank the taxpayers and the IRS.  You guys bought a heck of an airplane!  The real hero at the end of the flight was the law of gravity.  She's alive and well.  Couldn't have done it without her, she deserves a great deal of the credit.  Also the wings.

Brendan, congratulations and good luck! Many happy landings!
