Joe Doyle '49 -- A Notre Dame Man -- RIP

I never had the honor of meeting Joe Doyle '49 -- but, I have always known of him...

Yesterday afternoon at the age of 92, Doyle died at South Bend's Memorial Hospital.    For thirty years -- from 1951 to his retirement in 1981 -- Doyle was the Sports Editor of the South Bend Tribune.
