Gary Didier, hall of fame, started thinking how could the class of '71 provide support for current St. Pat students as well as recent graduates navigate next steps in their careers.  Gary had the brainstorm idea to ask members of the class of '71 about their careers and lessons they learned.  Thus Lessons Matter was born.  Gary not only had an illustrious football career but also a very successful business career.  His experience with company mergers and integrating companies provided an excellent foundation to interview members of the class of 71.  We hope St. Patrick students and alums find the information below helpful.  We thank Gary for dedicating significant time with the interviews and subsequent editing.
