For Release
September 23, 2009 - The newest campus landmark at King’s College was dedicated and its donors recognized at an on-campus ceremony held recently. A fountain located in the newly named Parents Corner of O’Connor Park was funded by a gift from Patrick J. ’64 and Marie O’Connor in memory of Patrick’s parents, Patrick and Helen O’Connor. The fountain was built and the park renamed as a result of a donation by O’Connor and a matching gift from Cozen O’Connor, the law firm where he serves as vice chairman, to the King’s Legacy of Excellence Capital Campaign. Patrick J. was one of Patrick and Helen’s six sons who graduated from King’s, five of whom became attorneys. The late Patrick O’Connor was a local attorney and his wife, the late Helen O’Connor, was long-time register of wills for Luzerne County.
