Barry hopes this scholarship, which is set to exist for years to come, will be his son’s legacy at Notre Dame. “Legacy is an interesting word … the idea of students of alumni returning to their parents’ alma mater as legacies,” Barry said. “Declan, he won’t have that kind of legacy.” But Barry said the students whom the scholarship assists could serve to keep Sullivan’s memory alive at Notre Dame. “Let this be Declan’s legacy.”

What I see is automatic and uncontrollable, but I can decide whether or not to pay attention to it. To me, a person’s voice appears as a long, colored, textured band that rises and falls with vocal fluctuations. The higher the sound, the lighter the color and vice versa. On the other hand, a crowd of people talking creates a field of what looks like colored, textured brush strokes, each a fraction of a dif- ferent person’s voice. The best part of synesthesia is when I listen to music. While sounds tend to be clear and vivid, music creates multidimensional landscapes with lay- ers upon layers of the different facets of a single sound. These images are so vivid at times that I literally get lost in the music. In fact, I often remember what a song looks like well before I can recall its melody. My favorite music is heavily manipu- lated or electronic, specifically synths. To me, the synths appear as a series of densely positioned, taut liquid filled wires in a gradient of warm glowing hues. They fluctuate and bounce with the sounds of the synth, each wire representing a different dimension of that singular sound. And that is just one of the many images I see during a single song.
