...what we have rededicated because we have already rededicated it since we dedicated it eight years ago. Yes, Wednesday was the "Rededication of Rededication of the Dedication," the event where the room with "rediscovered" Luigi Gregori mural is rededicated to the honor of Signore Gregori. With a performance from the Hall Bard, Daniel Wrapp, and reading from an letter from University Archives, recounting a resident's thoughts on the mural, the ceremony reached its apex with a "Facetime call" from Bobby Weltner '14, who generously offered his thoughts and insights on the "crown jewel" of the Hall. Of the Gregori mural, Weltner said, ""The Rededication is a marked occasion on the Hall's calendar, and to have an opportunity to participate and share my reflection on the masterpiece was an honor. I just hope my remarks did Luigi Gregori's work justice."
Oh, yes. There was also a cymbal solo by Liam McGhee, Sted's junior and ND March Band member, that was surprising, yet moving.
Happy Founder's Week, and may the Founder smile on you always!
