It was in visiting the Thomas Aquinas College campus in 2003 to attend a memorial Mass that Lloyd Noble first became acquainted the school. That Mass was offered for his half-uncle, Richard Noble, who had served on the College’s Board of Governors from 1977 until his death in late 2002 and left his entire estate to the College.
Thomas Aquinas College is grateful to the parents and grandparents of its students for engendering in these young people the habits of mind and soul that dispose them to its unique program of Catholic liberal education.
