In reply to: One of my jobs at Notre Dame was delivering mail from the posted by cj

And dead on accurate. Great post. One of the very few times I got myself out of bed early in the morning in the winter (I can't even remember why), that's exactly what it was like.

One time I just stopped and stood in the middle of the frigid snow-covered South Quad halfway between Alumni and the K of C building and just looked around and there was no one else, dead quiet. The light was just as you described. I was thinking how lucky I was to be in such a beautiful place.

Fr. Ted kept it that way, and made it even better.

Sprack, you saw the beauty

because you were so close to Alumni

Alumni is the Newark, NJ of ND

Like Newark being so close, yet so far from NYC, ditto Alumni to Dillon.

And Carroll is the Staten Island

So far away but technically still a part

My favorite time at the Grotto was on snowy nights after

midnight. Many times I was the only one there. I miss those times.

Me too. It was peaceful and calming when things were tough. *
