We can finally turn off the AC, break out the sweaters and stop mowing the lawn-fall is here! The students at Mother Seton are back in their routine and, with some substantial renovations over the summer, enjoying a newly updated cafeteria and gym floor. And our alums continue to be busy and successful in a myriad of ways, as you can read below.
Don't forget to continue to send us your news. We love hearing about the wonderful things our alumni are doing.

Eric is a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army reserve and has a remarkable 35 years of Active and Reserve Duty service combined. On May 23, Eric and Annette celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary.
May also saw son Robin (MSS 2009) graduating from American University with a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Business Entertainment. He is currently working in Los Angeles.
The family hardly had time to catch their breath before daughter Jennifer (MSS 2007) married Brian Parkhurst on June 23 at St. Anthony's Shrine, Emmitsburg.
Congratulations to all the family on these joyful events!

Tommy Laudani '14
As many of you know, Tommy Laudani (MSS 2014) has been dealing courageously with an aggressive cancer. A senior at Delone Catholic, Tommy has shown strength and determination in the face of a difficult diagnosis. Tommy recently ran three 5K races for Delone and was part of the school's Homecoming Court. His remarkable accomplishment was chronicled in September in Runner's World magazine, as well as The Evening Sun, part of the USA Today network. In addition, in conjunction with the Make a Wish Foundation, Tommy and his family took a trip to Panama. Not only did they enjoy snorkeling, kayaking and sightseeing, but Tommy met with some scientists from the Smithsonian. In what has to be a first for an MSS alum, Tommy has had a newly-discovered bug named after him, the
Sceloenopls Thomasi. Tommy, we continue to keep you and your family in our prayers!
