A homecoming: General and Mrs. McMonagle

... visit. On Bowling Green weekend, Steds junior Patrick Sansone gave a tour of the Hall to retired General McMonagle and his wife Carol. Why? The general, a graduate of ’53, was a Stedsman! Having been some time his last visit, the general was delighted to be back in familiar surroundings and was especially keen to see the Chapel, the Greg, and his old room. What room did the general live in during his undergraduate days? Well, it doesn’t exist anymore as it is now the Gentlemen's Billiards Room! On his visit, the general said, “When I was at ND, students changed residence halls each year. I was in Steds my first year, and it was my favorite!” 

On hosting, Sansone said, “The general had an amazing memory and was telling us about the layout of Steds during his time, He even recounted all who lived in the rooms up and down the first floor. Being back in Steds was a real highlight for him, and I was happy to assist!”
