Help Salesian High School Send Care Packages to the Troops

I’m usually on the other side when it comes to caring about Notre Dame (as in I’m usually on the side that wants to beat the Fighting Irish), but since this is for a good cause, I’ll support it.

Salesian High School in New Rochelle, NY (nickname “the Eagles” – they know who to represent) will be collecting items to send to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for Thanksgiving. Items include, but are not limited to: granola bars, oatmeal packets, cereal, candy, Ramen Noodles and pop tarts (and can I get a care package as well?). SHS is working in conjunction with Notre Dame’s New York Alumni Chapter in its Operation Gratitude, which is also part of the Notre Dame-Army football game, which is being played at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 20.

Donations can be made to:

Salesian High School
148 East Main Street
New Rochelle, NY 10801

Or you can email me at nomadblog.wordpress@gmail.com for more info. Donations should be received on or around Nov. 10.

(Go Army! Go BC!)

The Dougie Done Best

The Quest is on its Last Leg; Highland Falls Braces Itself for the End of an Era

The Quest: 1993-2010?

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but I heard over the weekend that the Rose family’s Nissan Quest – the most infamous seafoam-green van to ever drive the earth – is on its last leg. Let’s pause for a moment of silence.

The Quest was purchased approximately 15 (but probably more) years ago. A family van, it shuttled the Rose children (and their friends) to school, dances, movies, and countless sporting events. Around the neighborhood, the Quest was known for its quirky color, and people would always wave as it passed by.

During a brief low-point in the Quest’s life, another local family purchased the same vehicle and somewhat of a turf war broke out. Confused citizens waving at what they thought was the Rose’s Quest were brutally embarrassed to find another family inside the most-recognized automobile in town. The Rose’s Quest eventually came out the victor, but it was a long road. That other family may or may not have had to relocate.
