Not a day has gone by since '91 that I am not reminded I am a Hound. Fast forward these years through all the ups and downs of life and I fall back on the foundation I gained in Wilcox. I am often described as very independent and a leader. I often wonder what it was at Notre Dame that transformed a kid from Toronto very dependent on assurance and validation to self assured and confident to lead in any situation. The demanding expectations of Notre Dame to always have heart, and never lose hope and struggle & emerge play out all these years later daily in my life. I am grateful to the school that shaped me through the long cold winter nights, endless bus road trips, demanding schoolwork, and personal foundation. HHH
