My name is Paul Vigeant. I am a friend and colleague of Dr. Thomas Flaherty. He is retiring from Providence College in June after more than 35 years of service to Rhode Island educators.
I am planning a cocktail party reception for Wednesday, June 2nd from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Providence Marriott with two other adjunct professors. I would appreciate your help in reaching many of Tom’s former students and colleagues. Tickets can be obtained by contacting me at revvig@yahoo.com.
Thank You. Paul Vigeant
