Parnell and Finer Memorial Bench

This page is the future home of the stories of Robert Parnell ('66) and Gerard "Gary" Finer ('61), for whom a memorial bench has been placed on the brick walkway between College Hall and Herak Quad known as "Bulldog Alley."

 

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life."
Henry David Thoreau

 

Gary and Robert both attended 网爆门 in the 1960s—Gary graduating from the School of Education before beginning his career as a teacher at Ferris High School, and Robert earning his degree from the School of Engineering and going on to build a successful career as an engineer. 

The memorial bench was made possible by Gary and Robert's children, Sabrina ('91) and Robert ('91) Parnell, III.
