As much of a reputation the Notre Dame President has had for over 60 years did not know about his obsession with aircraft until about a month ago. Always thought he was an impressive figure. Catholic kid who was actually in the north end zone cheering for the Irish on Nov. 16, 1957. Took Bud W. 4 more years to convert me. Sorry for the background. Saw Father H. was dying to fly as fast as possible in an Air Force SR-71. And did it. So an AF pilot pal in the Bay Area- who happens to have more hours in the SR 71 than anyone- tells me he was there at that flight and recalls his training (the guy was not young then) before they put him behind the pilot. If any of you want his story will send it if I can get emails. Wonder what he is flying today? Only 48 more days until the season starts. Please, PLEASE, beat USC.
