* NEW * Want to know how to raise a Notre Dame fan? Brendan Rielly'96J.D. offers up a fun take in Brainwashing our children properly.

For many years, Father George Wiskirchen, CSC, directed the Notre Dame Jazz Band. His niece, Julie Wiskirchen, ND class of 1994, pays homage to him in "Remembering Uncle Father."

Larry Tholen, a 1960 Notre Dame graduate, has always been fond of old cars, especially of Studebakers. He thought a 1932 Rockne car would make a great item of ND memorabilia. In "The Search for a Rockne Car" he writes about his hunt for the coupe named after the famed football coach, Knute Rockne.

In another story of a car, 1980 Notre Dame graduate D.A. Narducci III reflects on the trip he took to campus with William G. Millman Jr. '79 in "Two Friends and an MG."

For Tom Pierce, a 2003 ND graduate, a friendship he and his brother, Don Pierce, class of 2001, developed with an elderly ND graduate opened his eyes to the meaning Notre Dame holds for its students. He writes about that gift in "The Essence of Notre Dame."
