Dan and I met after we attended Fairfield University (at different times). Our sisters, Elena Pienkowski and Kelly (Fitzgerald) Lackner, both alumni ’97, are good friends and Dan and I met at Kelly's wedding. Ironically, she was also marrying a Fairfield alumnus, Steve Lackner ’93. Dan and I dated long distance for 3 years while I worked in NYC and he was in Hartford. Fairfield was always our meeting point, so it was perfect that Dan chose Jennings Beach in Fairfield to propose in 2007. We ultimately decided to make Fairfield our new home. Since that time, Fairfield University has been a constant presence in our lives and both of our daughters have been baptized at Egan Chapel by Father Allen. We take every opportunity to bring our kids back to campus for various events such as the Alumni Mass and visit with Santa at Christmas and the Easter egg hunt. We are so proud to have so many Fairfield alumni within our family. Go Stags!
