I understand now. I understand those former classmates of mine who said they had trouble studying for Christmas exams after getting their X-Ring on Dec. 3. Hardly five minutes goes by now that I don't notice my shiny new ring there on my finger and stop whatever I'm doing to admire it. It is such a happy distraction!
Yesterday's X-Ring ceremony in the Keating Centre was magical. Dr. Winston Jackson was absolutely thrilled to be awarded this year's honorary X-Ring in recognition of his exceptional service to StFX over the past few decades. And guest speaker Peter Bowler '77 did an outstanding job of conveying to our senior class all that the X-Ring represents. His words were funny, inspirational and moving.
Alumni President Ed McHugh reminded the students that there's a 30,000-strong alumni family out there that's looking forward to welcoming them into the alumni ranks and helping them as best they can along their journeys after graduation.
