Parnell and Finer Memorial Bench

This page is the future home of the stories of Robert Parnell ('91) and Gerard Finer ('61), for whom a memorial bench has been placed on the brick walkway between College Hall and Herak Quad known as "Bulldog Alley."

Gerard and Robert both attended Gonzaga in the 1960s—Gerard 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 Gerard and Robert's children, Sabrina ('91) and Robert ('91) Parnell, III.
