I wonder what the Big Mouth in the South has to say now... I am sure just as hypocritical as everything else he said about this young man at ND... and by default his family

wow, shocker.
Ditto, Thoughts and prayers to the Kiel family.
I enjoyed the walk down memory lane, Lou. I was in Blair's class at ND, and witnessed his career first-hand. Never ran across him on campus or knew him personally, though.
