Celebrities from the arts and the media, sports figures,
and national leaders reflect on their experiences at Notre
Dame and reveal the university’s crucial place in their
lives and careers.
Regis Philbin, Nicholas Sparks,
Joe Montana, and Phil Donahue all attended Notre Dame. And
like generations of graduates, they remain fiercely loyal.
Hannah Storm, born into a family of Notre Dame alumni and a
proud member of the class of 1983, set out to discover why
the university exerts such a powerful hold on its graduates,
their friends, and their families, and why it elicits the
admiration of “unaffiliated†people throughout the
world.
Notre Dame Inspirations brings together
the reminiscences of alumni who have distinguished
themselves in a variety of fields. Each essay focuses on one
pivotal Notre Dame event that helped to crystallize the
author’s dreams and became the first step on the path to
success. Nicholas Sparks recounts how he found his writer’s
voice as a student; Joe Montana recalls the football game
that changed his life; WNBA superstar Ruth Riley discusses
how she got in touch with her spiritual side during her
junior year; and Regis Philbin reveals how football coach
Frank Lahey helped him overcome disappointments and achieve
his ambitions.
Illustrated with wonderful “then and
now†photographs of the contributors, Notre Dame
Inspirations is a tribute to a place where inspiration,
faith, and the drive to achieve go far beyond the ordinary.
