Reflection

Before Joseph W. Schmidt '35 attended his 65-year reunion at Notre Dame, he wrote and mailed a poem to his surviving classmates. He wanted, says his daughter, Joanne Schmidt, "to let them know how much ND and his classmates meant to him." Mr. Schmidt died a year after that reunion, but his love of the University lives on in his words, which he called "The Domer."
