The Fall/Winter 2011 issue of The Alumni Voice celebrates the remarkable energy and generosity of the Mayfield alumni community. It opens by honoring the volunteers who powered three successful Nautica Charity Poker Festivals—events that raised essential funds for student programs and required “about 150 volunteers per four‑day Festival” to keep things running smoothly. The newsletter also highlights new efforts to strengthen alumni connections, including the appointment of Kimberly Delfs‑Watkins as the first Alumni Web Coordinator, the expansion of spirit wear offerings, and the many donors whose contributions fuel scholarships for graduating seniors. Throughout the issue, the familiar rhythm of Mayfield life comes through in stories of tailgate gatherings, class reunions, and updates on alumni whose lives have taken them from comedy stages to corporate leadership to the halls of Notre Dame.

The heart of the newsletter lies in its people—those being honored, those remembered, and those still giving back. Hall of Fame inductees such as Dr. Ray Sepeta, Kurt Treu, Andrew McCartney, and Dr. Elliot Bendoly are celebrated not only for their professional accomplishments but for the values they trace back to Mayfield’s teachers and traditions. “Flavian A. Mastrangelo, Class of ’30, turned 100 years old,” one update proudly notes, while another recounts the community’s enduring support for Karen Carcioppolo, injured in the Summit Road accident twenty‑five years earlier. Even in the In Memoriam section, the tone remains one of gratitude and remembrance, honoring classmates and staff whose lives shaped the Mayfield family. Across every page, the message is clear: once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat—and the bonds forged in those halls continue to matter.
