Hall of Fame and Homecoming

Steve received a huge honor Friday night when he was inducted into the Marist Hall of Fame.  He was nominated by his basketball coach, Ron Bell (who was also inducted into the school’s hall of fame this year)!  We could not have been more proud of him.  Apparently Steve was a stud not only in basketball but also in baseball because people kept asking me which sport he was inducted for (he went on to play both of these sports at GT! )

They had a dinner and ceremony in the gym; then we headed out onto the field before the Marist homecoming game.  The boys had a blast dancing with the Marist war eagle and Catelin was a trooper as always.

A few pics from the gym cermony:

We then went onto the football field.  It was really special to see Steve honored in this way – we were all so proud.





On Saturday, the reminiscing continued as we went to the GT homecoming game verses BYU.  The alumni cheerleaders were allowed on the field for the first quarter so I was able to relive my pom-pom days and cheer from the sidelines.

We won’t discuss the outcome of the game (Tech has been abysmal at best this year), but it was great to be back down there!  Go Jackets!
