Tom Sheahan and Leslie Niederschulte

When Rockhurst junior Leslie Niederschulte joined her family on a trip through the United Kingdom last summer, she was about as far away from Rockhurst as she could get. But when someone in her tour group overheard her talking on the bus, she discovered that the close-knit Rockhurst family stretches far and wide. Tom Sheahan, who introduced himself on the bus that day, is a 1955 graduate of Rockhurst High School and attended the College for a year. He lives with his wife, Barb, in Murrieta, Calif.
