I also went to Ireland with my family in July (here’s us at Clonmacnoise- a fourth century monastery in County Offaly, where my father’s family is from). J. P. Feighery ’03 Faculty and staff members at Fordham Prep are always doing something unique and fascinating. This sentiment held true over this past summer as our faculty members traveled, spent time pursuing their personal or professional interests, or just spent time at home. Here’s a sampling of what they did on their vacation! My students are already aware of my fondness (obsession?) for Dante Alighieri and his epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Well, this summer I went to Ravenna, Italy and was finally able to pay homage to Dante by visiting his tomb.
