| Joe, who received both the B.A. and B.S. from Notre Dame, has for the last seven years been an adviser to a JA company sponsored by WNDUTV, the NBC affiliate in South Bend, for which Joe is an advertising accountant executive.

He was out for a Notre Dame Football game, and I brought him to a Saturday a.m. taping at the station. The answer to his concluding question could be "A Gold hugo". And I still chuckle when I se pics of me in that sportcoat. I think it was green too...bright green!"
