The new fountain located in the Parents Corner of O’Connor Park at King’s College was recently dedicated at an on-campus ceremony. The fountain was funded by a gift from Patrick J. O’Connor, ’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. At the dedication ceremony from left: The Rev. Thomas O’Hara. C.S.C., president of King’s, and Marie and Patrick O’Connor.
