Athletic Ability: |
I was a pretty good football player. Had some scholarship offers,but none from ND. A friend and I went to the football office in Breen-Phillips hall to sign up as freshman walk-ons, but line coach, Bob McBride told us to come back in a week. He was too busy to see us at that time. WE never got to see him so we played inter-hall ball.In the fall of 1954 we won the hall championship. We were the men of Baden hall. Today it is just golf and working out. |

Sartorial Style: |
In the summer golf shirts and shorts. In the fall sweatshirts and slacks. However, when it is snowy and cold outside, I love to put on my Dickie boots, Jeans and a light jacket. |
|
Favorite Beverage and Consumption Freq: |
St. Pauli Girl and Guinness. Several times per week. |
|
Political Philosophy: |
Conservative. William F. Buckley and Pope John Paul II |
|
Religious Philosophy: |
Roman Catholic. I really loved the latin mass and miss it very much. IMO changing the mass, the music, traditions was one of the big mistakes of vatican II |
|
Musical Favorites: |
I like pretty much all music except rap and modern rock. To me the sounds of modern rock could be inter-changeable with dueling chain saws. The music of my youth was great. Guys like Nat King Cole, Frankie Laine ,Johnny Ray, Eddie Arnold, etc. are still tops with me. |
