| Joe Sciarra, a retired dentist, spent eight great years with the Christian Brothers, four at his beloved Cathedral High School in Los Angeles and four at the College. As a racehorse fancier, he wants to honor the Brothers by naming a thoroughbred using a Lasallian reference. So don't be surprised if you'll soon see Mont La Salle running at Santa Anita or your local California track. |
