Upcoming Events

To honor our brother Dan and his dedication to faith and education, we have established the Lt. Daniel P. Riordan Scholarship Fund at Vianney High School. The scholarship will be given to a student with financial need and who represents the qualities of faith, honor, and service. "Lt. Dan" was a man who loved his family, his God, and his country. His faith gave him the strength necessary for battle; this faith was cultivated and strengthened by the faculty and staff of Vianney High School. The following four annual events have been established to raise money for the scholarship fund and to remember our fallen hero.

Lt. Daniel P. Riordan Memorial Trout Bust

In an effort to raise money to benefit the Lt. Daniel Riordan Scholarship Fund at Vianney High School, the Old Hippies Association (OHA) is donating the proceeds from their annual "Trout Bust" at Montauk State Park.

Army 1st Lt. Dan Riordan, an avid outdoorsman, was killed in June 2007 while serving in Iraq. As a boy scout Riordan enjoyed fishing, hiking, campfires and sleeping under the stars.

"While he (Dan) can't be here for this time honored tradition, we know he will be with us in spirit," said Jim Wallace, OHA president.

For more information on the "Trout Bust" contact Jim Wallace, (314) 452-9904 or Chris Hellman, (636) 861-7173, or email at troutbust@yahoo.com

In addition to raising money for the Lt. Daniel P. Riordan Scholarship Fund, this year we will also be recognizing a charity called Project Healing Waters. This organization assists in the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active duty military personnel and veterans through fly fishing.

Lt. Daniel P. Riordan Memorial Scholarship Trivia Night

If you are interested in sponsoring the event, donating items for door prizes or the silent auction, or have questions about registration, please contact Nick Riordan at nmriordan@earthlink.net or 314-607-2185.

Last year, trivia night was an incredibly successful event. With 700 people in attendance, we raised over $28,000 for the scholarship fund. Without the help of supporters like you, this event would not have been possible. On behalf our family, we would like to thank you for your generosity. Your kindness will help us provide tuition assistance to young Vianney men that display the same qualities that Dan exhibited: Faith, Honor, and Service. We hope you can be a part of this event in 2009.

We would also like to send out a congratulations to Kevin Tiemann, proud recipient of the second Lt. Daniel P. Riordan Memorial Scholarship! The scholarship is renewable each year for four years at Vianney High School and was presented at the third annual Lt. Dan Golf Tournament. Congrats, Kevin!

We hope you will be a part of this event in 2011 and truly appreciate your help in making the tournament and scholarship a success!
