Purple rain on a boom box. A football brotherhood forged in Mulledy Hall. A principal from Worcester who changed everything— twice. Byron Dixon is our next letter author, writing a touching reflection on turning 60 that will take you back to that first day on the Hill and remind you why Holy Cross never really leaves you. Check your inbox later this week for his letter. 💜💜💜

Next up: Nearly forty years after graduation, what really lasts?
In this eloquent reflection, Michael Hogan recalls a Jesuit retreat, a moment of midlife questioning, and an unforgettable line heard at a friend’s father’s funeral: “People don’t change—they just become more so.” It’s a thought that echoes through decades of friendship, growth, and self-discovery.
As we hit 60, this letter is both a sweet nudge and a heartfelt invitation: reach out to a classmate, reconnect, and rediscover what time hasn’t erased.
Oh, you may need a tissue on hand for this one.

GO HC women! You got an incredibly tough opponent and played your butts off! 🙌🙏🙏🙏

Coming soon: Another wonderful reflection from a classmate reminding us how much of life’s foundation was built on the Hill. From late-night treks to Caro Street and Kimball-tray sledding down Alumni, to lifelong friendships and unexpected turns in life, Maura Reilly Rowell captures the spirit many of us share. With honesty, humor, and gratitude, she reflects on the friendships that carried her through life’s joys and challenges—and even a joyful new beginning later in life.
