For the past 18 years, Angelo and Patricia Dabiero have brought a little piece of the University of Notre Dame to Florida. The couple, who met on the campus in Indiana some 62 years ago, has been hosting a 1962 class reunion for nearly two decades. This year, they welcomed close to 50 Fighting Irish alums to their home at The Terraces at Bonita Springs.
Many of the attendees were All-American football players like Angelo. Another well-known name includes the oldest living Heisman Trophy winner, Johnny Lujack.
The couple says they’re happy to host the group, and it was delightful to see everyone again after being apart for the last two years due to the pandemic. During the event, they had dinner at the community and enjoyed a day of golfing with one another.
The Dabieros will celebrate their 61st wedding anniversary in August. Angelo stays busy by playing golf three days a week, and Patricia, who’s been a fitness instructor for more than 40 years, continues her passion by teaching fitness classes at The Terraces at Bonita Springs every Saturday.
In their home, they keep pictures and memorabilia from their time and experiences at the University of Notre Dame, as well as memories of their class reunions.
