For Notre Dame Fans Only...The New Saturday Bible, by ND 1965 grad Rich Wolfe, said to be "the #1 selling sports book author in America for the last six years." Copies were distributed at the annual "Leahy Lads" dinner on September 29. I received a copy from my oldest brother, Frank, ND'42, and his wife, Mary, who is a "Leahy Lassie." This book contains many humorous and other ND-related tales, some sports-oriented and others concerning student "adventures" (such as the oft-told and now legendary John Ryan and John O'Brien interview-and-photo session with Grace Kelly). A number of other Class of '55 members and happenings pop up in the 250 pages. There also are 32 full-page Irish football-focused Time and Sports Illustrated covers, printed in full color. It's truly a book to be obtained and enjoyed.

I am John O'Brien's daughter, and would love to get a copy of this book! My father really enjoyed telling us about the Grace Kelly "adventure" and showing us the article that appeared in the Notre Dame Magazine. He said she was very gracious and polite, and was so beautiful you couldn't take a bad photo of her from any angle. He never mentioned, though, that the interview was such a big deal on the Notre Dame campus at the time.
My father passed away in 2000 and this is one of our cherished family stories. If anybody was on campus at the time I'd love to hear what you remember about this adventure so I can pass it on to my three siblings and my father's nine grandchildren!
Thanks,
Diane O'Brien Juve
