"What has become our custom...we (Class of '56) are requesting a donation from our classmates and making a group donation from the St A’s Class of '56 to a worthy organization. There are many worthy and needy ones to choose from and it is difficult to just pick one. This year our primary recipient will be “Operation Bedding – the Adam Conboy Memorial Fund”. They are a local group and a lot can be said about them and what they do for our military -- much more than what we can put here in writing.
Visit the site: http://www.adamconboymemorialfund.org/ and you will see all the good that they do. If we receive enough donations we will also provide a donation to the Chaplin’s Office at Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital – they provide a great service to the families of wounded troops".

Adam's Last Request:
In his last request Lance Corporal Adam C. Conboy, while serving in Iraq, requested "some basic supplies which included pillows. He said "whatever you send make sure it is in the amount of forty (soldiers)". He wanted to insure that his comrades have the same comforts that he did. He said "get Operation Bedding going Mom" That Friday Adam was killed. Without realizing it Adam had inspired his own Memorial Fund.
If you want to donate to the cause, please contact Rich Tancredi '56 for information. Rich can be reached at Classof56@comcast.net or 215-325-1837
