*NEW* When John F. McCormick was a student at Notre Dame, he worked so many jobs that the University owed him money when he graduated. Christine McCormick Schuermann recalls her father's relationship with ND in "Picturing Dad."

As a student, Patrick Crowe '71 worked for Abbot Astrik L. Gabriel, then director of Notre Dame's Medieval Institute. In "The Passing of a Giant," Crowe recalls how he came to appreciate the many quirks of the great teacher and scholar, who died in May 2005 at age 97.

Edward Vasta '52, an ND emeritus professor of English, looks back at how his life has been repeatedly influenced by Notre Dame in "My Notre Dame Victories."
