Marciano. “We welcome Justice Flaherty, a legacy parent and grandparent, the father of Brendan ’92, Michael ’92, and Sean ’09; and grandparent of Aidan ’24. His lifelong devotion and faith-filled life of public service inspires us to do the same. Our thanks to Mr. Lefoley, our CFO, for his financial guidance, and Mr. David Corsetti, a new Hendricken parent and successful business owner for his wise counsel.”
