Lakefest 2011 Reminder

Coming up in 4 weeks. If you need to make a hotel reservation, call the Holiday Inn at 508-481-3000

Edward Zogby, SJ - RIP

I just learned from John Hollwitz that Ed Zogby died yesterday, June 16.  we tried to get him to Lakefest over the last couple of years, but failing health prevented him from coming.  I think Bill Buckley maintained some level of contact.  His wake & funeral are at Xavier High School in New York on Wed, June 22.  Here is an announcement from the parish of the Holy Cross, where I guess he helped out.
