2020 SPRING ALUMNOTES – Click here to view.
In our Spring 2020 Alumnotes issue, we included a story on a very generous donation made to NDCL by Gene and Barbara Trela. The story, titled “ Eugene ’54 & Barbara Trela Make Gift to NDCL”, included a statement that was not correct. The statement read as follows:
“Gene hopes that his gift inspires other alums to make a donation to the Brother Frank Endowed Scholarship so future students may attain a quality Catholic education as he and others did.”
The statement shown above is not correct. Gene Trela never made this statement nor did he ever express this hope to anyone.
Please note that the Trela Endowed Scholarship will provide financial aid to any student of modest means to enable them to attend NDCL and benefit from the fine Catholic education available there.
We sincerely apologize to all alumni and especially to Gene and Barbara Trela for the incorrect report on their generous gift.

This is a video of the 1965/66 Cathedral Latin Marching Band at the annual Christmas Parade in downtown Cleveland, OH. They were considered one of the top bands in northeast Ohio. Among their many accomplishments, they were given the honor to play for President Lyndon B. Johnson and perform the Star Spangle Banner on opening day for the Cleveland Indians.
