Tribute by Notre Dame's Terry Hanratty to Hall of Fame Coach, Ara Parseghian

On Monday, July 21, 2008, the Milwaukee chapter of the University of Notre Dame Alumni Club hosted its 8th annual golf outing and dinner benefiting the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation. The head Notre Dame football coach from 1964-74, Parseghian led his teams to the consensus national championship in both 1966 and 1973. The Milwaukee event was headlined by Irish quarterback from 1966-68, Terry Hanratty, whose image adorned the cover of the October 28, 1966 edition of Time Magazine, and was a three-time finalist for the Heisman Trophy. About $25,000 were raised for the APMRF's work to find a cure for Niemann Pick-C, a terminal disease that claimed the lives of three of Ara's grandchildren. More than 94 percent of all money raised goes directly to research into a cure for NP-C.

Terry Hanratty, I had a crush on him when I watched him play for ND when I was a kid. Met him in Shawn's restaurant in Connectcut years later and told him so. He's still my hero!
