Thanks to all those who made it to campus this fall for our Class Mini-Reunion at the South Florida game on September 3rd.

Our Class Treasurer Bob Brutvan obtained a larger than antiicpated block of 120 tickets for our class.  Those tickets went fast, just like the food that Patrick Olmstead arranged at the tailgater with our tailgating partners, the Wernle Youth & Family Treatment Center.

For just the third time in its history, the University of Notre Dame has given approval for the filming of a motion picture on campus. Tentatively titled "Two Miles From Home," the film is the story of Haley Scott DeMaria, the Notre Dame swimmer who was paralyzed for a week after a tragic bus accident in 1992 that took the lives of two of her teammates. The movie is based on DeMaria's book, "What Though the Odds: Haley Scott's Journey of Faith and Triumph."

"Though we receive many requests, the University has allowed just two movies to be filmed on our campus - `Knute Rockne, All America' and `Rudy,' " said Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Notre Dame's president. "The perseverance, courage and faith that Haley demonstrated in overcoming the critical injuries and medical setbacks she suffered can inspire many and so should be told to the widest audience possible." Robert C. Thompson, producer of the Academy Award-winning 1973 film "The Paper Chase," is the executive producer for "Two Miles From Home." Co-producers are Chris Jones and Dan Waterhouse, who wrote the script and is the director. DeMaria and the producers are working to raise funds and hope to begin filming this year in order to release the movie in 2012, the 20th anniversary of the accident.
