Getty59,
Best of luck to your D as she awaits word from admissions. My S is anxiously awaiting the start of school. I had the privilege last fall of sitting in on the Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting at the team hotel the night before the San Diego State game. About 30 of the ND football team members were present. At the conclusion, about ten of them stopped and introduced themselves on their way to their evening “snack”. They had no idea who I was, but took the time without being told to do so. How proud it made me to be an alum and to have my University represented by such fine young men. I was still feeling so proud the next day that I gave away my pregame sideline pass to my son’s friend who was going to apply for admission so that he could experience the feeling.
It truly is a special place.
