Heaven Got a Good One Yesterday...
Just learned a family friend Conrad Peterson (on the right in this photo) of Old Harbor, Alaska -- left for Heaven yesterday...
Man, what a great guy. My Dad (on the left in the photo) and my Uncle Denny have been making the yearly trek to fish with the guys at Kodiak Sportsman's Lodge since 2005 -- where Conrad has guided since 2003. I had the great fortune to make that trip in 2017 and quickly formed a bond with this man.
Conrad was also the Tribal President of the Alutiq Tribe of Old Harbor...
Two years ago, Conrad and his wife Amy came to South Bend to watch the Fighting Irish play a game inside Notre Dame Stadium. They stayed in our home and we gave the two of them a wonderful Notre Dame football experience.
Since our first meeting in 2017 -- we've been texting back and forth about fishing, Notre Dame football and all things Alaska. He will be missed...
Conrad & Amy

Well, My "Notre Dame Cast" is Undefeated!
I broke my ankle a couple of weeks ago -- took a nasty fall off a ladder, broke both bones and dislocated it...
The good news is my surgeon was Dr. Jim Flynn '03 -- a Notre Dame alum who is a former student manager for the Fighting Irish football team. He's great at his craft and in a few months I suspect I'll be back on my feet!
My wife Susan did the honors of painting IRISH on my cast -- this afternoon -- before the Boston College game!
