Old Boys Grace Founding Roots Dinner

A big group of 24 of our Class of 2018 graduates joined us on April 30th at the Junior League of Houston for our annual Founding Roots Dinner. Western traditionally invites our current high school seniors to join in the fun. This year’s group was outstanding. What great memories of these young men!

On behalf of his class, Joe Rick Madden gave a humorous speech recalling funny and meaningful escapades of his years at Western.

Though we have only begun gathering the colleges boys will attend next year, so far we have: Benedictine College, KS (2), Colorado State University (Fort Collins), Hillsdale, College (MI), John Paul the Great (CA), Louisiana State University, Notre Dame University (IN), Rose Hulman Institute (IN), Texas A & M University (2), Thomas Aquinas College (New England), Tulane University, University of Dallas (2), University of Houston, University of Oklahoma, and Yale University.

How great it was to see these excellent Old Boys!
