Ed McGettigan writes: In June, there was a gathering with some of the late Dan Paradee’s friends in Voorhees, NJ, and they all had a very nice surprise. They got to meet Dan’s son, also Dan, who will be a junior next year at Clark University in Massachusetts, where he plays on the tennis team. Since young Dan was raise in Maine, few of the Moravian buds had ever met him.

Susan Drylie and Chris “Shark” Gardiner were there. Hounds, Lauren Vogel Zabel ’80, Ken Karpinski ’79, and Chuck Glassmire ’76 weren’t able to attend but were there in spirit. Dan Jr. told them that his family is doing well. Ed noted that Dan Sr. would love to know that the Moravian “Hounds” got to hang out with his boy to provide the lowdown on Moravian in the 70s.

From Dawn:

Ed McGettigan writes after the passing of our dear classmate, Dan Paradee, "We've had a tough bunch of days recently, but I want to tell you about some good news.  On the day after we lost a great Greyhound in Dan, I found out that my niece (my sister's daughter) was accepted to Moravian where she'll be playing for the softball team.  Oddly enough (or perhaps not oddly at all), I had nothing to do with it.  Her name is Maria Saverese and she is a catcher.  At 5 feet 10 inches, she is the tallest woman ever produced by McGettigan et al stock.  Moravian coach John Byrne , the 'winningest' leader in Moravian history, was scouting her for some time and it is completely coincidence that she's a Hound.  I will tell you straight out that this information really helped me after our tragic news.  I'm certainly not mystical, but I definitely got a shot in the arm.  There will be a lot of reasons for me to get up to Bethlehem now and I'm looking forward to it."

From the Alumni House:
Daniel G. Nigito has recently written a book entitled “The Power of Leveraging the Charitable Remainder Trust: Your Secret Weapon Against the War on Wealth”. Nigito is a certified financial planner as well as chairman and chief executive officer of Market Street Financial Advisors in Bethlehem and its subsidiary Market Street Philanthropic Advisors. The basis of his book is for wealthy people to take money they would have paid in taxes and instead use it to fund philanthropic efforts, while still taking care of their own families.
