OK - It's a Notre Dame on my mind evening. Just learned that “Hesburgh” the movie is on Amazon Prime. Here's the 2-min. trailer: https://bit.ly/Hesburgh-Movie

Plus, rest in peace, Regis Philbin ND ’53 ☘️

Fr. Ted Hesburgh served as Notre Dame's president for thirty-five years, from 1952 until his retirement in 1987. He was an adviser to many presidents and held more than a dozen White House appointments under six presidents. He was Chairman of the Rockefeller Foundation and of the US Commission on Civil Rights... and has been acknowledged as the principal architect of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

“Father Hesburgh was a giant of the Civil Rights Movement.” -Coretta Scott King. His only response was when do you want me there. 

“Father Hesburgh had an extraordinary ability to reach across lines,” said Ted Koppel “I heard from some he was a very progressive liberal, and from some he was a very conservative man of the cloth.” 

“You’re one of the most influential men in this country, aren’t you,” asked a reporter once. “I don’t think I’m trying to be. A lot of it is just the power of friendship,” Fr. Hesburgh responded.

Fr. Hesburgh became the conscience of the country. “We don’t prove anything by burning something down. We prove something by building it up.” -Fr. Hesburgh 😇


...and, pre-movie, 5 x 1-mile repeats down/up. 
With warm-up and drills (not recorded)
