What an awesome guy. He was there to see his good friend inducted that I believe was a teammate of his when they were in HS. He let me wear his Super Bowl ring around at the football game that Friday night once I told him how big of an ND fan I was. We talked a lot of ND football and he is still very sharp. When I told my dad about it afterwards he told me an amazingly ironic story. He said he met Red and his mother or grandmother at a bar in South Bend many years ago on the Friday before a game and Red let him wear the same ring around all night. I wish I would have known that story before I met Red so I could have shared it.
