Dr. Okey’s favorite Saint Leo memory is walking the Camino de Santiago with Saint Leo students and faculty in 2018. He says, “he especially remembers sitting together as a group, eating a pasta dinner Audrey Shor had made, and each of us sharing how the pilgrimage so far had been similar to or different from what we expected.”
