On page 6 and 7 of this upcoming edition, Dale continues his story series “Then and Now” and this time is focused on sharing how the Gonzaga magazine has changed over the past 100+ years. I think you will really enjoy what Dale has prepared in this piece, so I want to share a sneak peek of just part of it, please see the screen shot I have included. (Our editor of the magazine, Kate Vanskike gave me permission to share!)
40+ years of sharing Zag stories in the magazine and Dale has zeroed in on this one as the most memorable. As noted in the screen shot, it was prepared by Molly Bosch ’18 (the full story is located here: Cannonball: A Gift to Gonzaga Grads)
“I had never seen such a thing. I could have sworn I heard a mic drop. As she calmly walked out the door, she nodded for me to follow. I couldn’t think of anything to say. For some reason, the only question I could think to ask was, “Where did you say you went to school again?” She smiled at me and said, “Oh, I went to Gonzaga.”
In her story, Molly captured a transformative moment, one she learned from a fellow Zag. Molly will pay this forward innumerable times in her life – showing empathy and leadership in her profession and no doubt all aspects of her life.
I sure hope each of you get to meet Molly Bosch one day. Her story, and I am quite confident her work today, gives great voice and perspective to what we create at Gonzaga.
Thank you for being stewards of this work. There are thousands of Mollys to come (and their stories).
PS – If inclined, let me know your most memorable Zag story. If not now, perhaps down the road or when it hits you (like a cannonball). I had to try…..
