The first time at a speaking engagement he headlined and once at Notre Dame. Tom McMahon, DB coach under Holtz in Lou’s last year, invited me to come in the coach’s office if I was in the area. I took him up on the offer and I got to see Lou. I actually got a picture with me sitting behind his desk. Great man, kind, very intelligent, and he meant what he said. Prayers

We're all born bald baby!
