Day 10

I started my day having breakfast with the staff and Jim Lyphout. They didn't let me eat from the breakfast buffet, however, I was allowed to have a cup of coffee and enjoy the conversation. The breakfast was nice and everyone enjoyed talking with and meeting Mr. Lyphout. He was even nice enough to let me hang out on his shoulder for this neat group picture.


After breakfast,I worked the front desk at the CCE. I made copies, assisted a customer with an online registration, mailed letters, and took mail to the Morris Inn office. WARNING! Do NOT randomly ring the bell at the desk if you don't need assistance......I didn't know if you ring it for no reason, you owe the office gals a dozen donuts!


After working with the students at the CCE, I took a stroll down memory lane when I was a student here. Boy, Fr. Sorin was swell!!


The best time though, was to be a member of the "Ramblers" football team, and a part of the Four Horseman! Those were the days with Coach Ara and the boys.

What a thrill to be presented with prestigious awards from President Kennedy, Fr.Hesburgh & Fr. Malloy. All the research I did on the, "/Melt in your Mouth, not in your Hands"/ theory paid off.

Lori and Lisa had some errands on campus to run so knowing that I needed some fun & excitement - they graciously took me with them and we had some really fun stops - take a look!!

We first stopped at the stadium tunnel - wow...wish I were an ND Football Player and could run down thru there again and play Michigan this weekend.

I couldn't believe what fun I was having riding in the golf cart. I got to sit on the hood (hope Risk Management/Security didn't see that) and even got my picture taken by the Library and the infamous "Touchdown Jesus"!!

Then Jed, the Assistant Director at the ND Hammes Bookstore, took us into the stadium and showed us around...its a lot different when there isn't 80,000 and my fans around!


Due to my fame - I was allowed a sneak peek at the new Holtz statue that is going to be unveiled Saturday....it is really cool - wait til y'all see it!!!

Got to go up to mid-level and have a really cool Kodak moment in the stands. The press box is so big...I was waiting for an announcer to say..."touchdown by McMorris", however, I guess when there is only a few people there, its just not going to happen.



Probably one of the coolest things about the field trip was I got to help paint the gold helmets...can you believe it??? It was a fluke - we were driving by, saw them spraying them and I just walked right on over and asked to help. They told me how excited they were to meet me - that made my day!


Once outside the stadium we took a quick trip to see my old buddy Moose. We sat and reminisced over the good old times - it was great to catch up, however, it seemed like I was the one doing all the talking?!

After the field trip Lori got back to business and took me to the weekly Food & Beverage meeting...wow - Morris Inn & McKenna Hall sure are going to be busy this next week!
