It seems like...
... a month ago, but it's only been a week! Steds Moms and Dads of the Class of 2023 gathered Michigan State weekend, with and without their sons, to renew and strengthen bonds of friendship as well as cheer on the Irish. And what a time they all had! From conversations to roof top dinners to good old fashion socializing at and away from their Airbnb, Beth Miller, Maria Theis, Tina Sansone, and Linda Lynch convened it all. And when it was all over, not only were their smiles all about but also the unspoken thought of "I need a weekend from the weekend." Before the game and with Mother Nature cooperating, Tina and Rod Sansone hosted a tailgate on Library Quad to help fuel all that cheering for the Irish. On the weekend and the tailgate, Tina Sansone shared, "Our Steds family and friends had an absolutely amazing time at our annual tailgate. It was wonderful bringing everyone together - especially our sons. With enduring friendships, perfect weather, Fr Ralph’s blessings, and a fantastic Notre Dame victory over Michigan State, it was a day to remember. Truly, not many moments in life can beat a combination like that!"
