October 13, 2002: The third class of George J. Mitchell Scholars arrived in Ireland for a year of study at institutions throughout the island. While here they will volunteer for the 2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games, which take place from June 16-29. Bank of Ireland, premier sponsor of the games, has been a strong supporter of the U.S.-Ireland Alliance, which created the Mitchell Scholarship Program. Pictured with the students at a lunch in their honor are Lou Soden, Bank of Ireland, front left, and Mary Davis, CEO 2003 Special Olympics World Summer Games. ♦
