About 100 alumni joined the seniors at the luncheon at Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club. The event was highlighted by a moving presentation from senior Jordan Lassiter, and the honoring of 2015-16 Alumnus of the Year Lee Pallardy III ’69. The Alumnus of the Year is announced each year at the Homecoming football game in the fall, and then formally conferred in the spring at the Senior-Alumni Luncheon. Pallardy, who has generously shared his time, talent, and treasure with Jesuit in numerous capacities for decades, expressed humility and thankfulness for receiving the honor. Numerous past Alumnus of the Year award winners were in attendance, including Dr. Steve 6 JESUIT PERSPECTIVES • FALL 2016 Three Alumnus of the Year winners, Richard Gonzmart ’71, 2016 winner Lee Pallardy III ’69, and Cookie Garcia ’50 The seniors ham it up during the class photo on Senior Day S Krist ’69 (2013), Richard Gonzmart ’71 (1999), and Ernest “Cookie” Garcia ’50 (2015).
