Newman Hall encounter

Posted October 22, 2008 @ 9:30PM by bearister
Joe was the QB my senior year. My buddy (who was to become my brother in law 22 years later) introduced me to him after Sunday Mass at Newman Hall. He seemed like a very humble and quiet guy. He died the year after I graduated. I was at Brennan's at the foot of Univeristy drinking when I saw his picture on the TV behind the bar on the 10 o'clock news. Since football season was over (was it February?), I knew immediately that the news was not going to be good.
