I would love to see the University get involved in some way. From the looks of it, the land can cost too much. ND should buy the land and pay someone to upkeep the site and give tours of the site. |
|
God bless you, Mr. Heathman. May your service to our little community be listed among your virtues, and may your soul rest with its reward in Heaven. |

Sean - I'm not sure. We did run across contact info last spring for Easter's 90th birthday. I'm not sure if that information is current however. |
|
I was lucky enough 5-6 years ago to be visiting a friend in Kansas, about 20 miles from the crash site. My friend's doctor was Easter's doctor, so my buddy was able to arrange a tour of the crash site. Easter was a wonderful man, and spent more than an hour with us, telling us about the day of the crash, the building of the memorial, and his visits to ND over the years. I was at the game a year or two ago when Easter was given membership in the Monogram Club because of his service to ND. It was a well deserved honor. |
|
Well done Easter! |
|
Thanks for this article Pat. |
|
Guys relax. We cant lower the flag at every bad day in America- it dilutes it. He was 90ish. I wish I was so lucky. |
|
RIP Easter |
|
Nobody is lowering the flag, Andy. Just paying our respects. |
|
Is anyone else having trouble viewing the video? Is there another place to view it online? |
|
Good article. Thx |
|
I imagine that Easter has already met Knute on the other side. |
|
That was good. |
|
That's quite a name and he was quite a guy. Thanks, Mr. H. |
|
Gun? Anyone help? |
|
The way Kuntz is going, he may be next in line for the job. |

When Rockne died, my dad was a sophomore at ND. The school closed in memory of KR, and told everyone to go home until after the funeral. According to him, no one left. He described the funeral scene to me many times, and a Cardinal came in for the funeral mass. |

Voice, |
|
Easter Heathman exemplifies Midwest values, duty and honor. R.I.P. |
|
Hey Andy C, Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning? He was a sweet old man and were all just saying goodbye. RIP sir. |
|
Voice and Sean, |
|
With GPS available now, someone should get the coordinates and spread them far and wide to the ND family. |
|
Tenuta to ND?! |
|
On a entirely different note: |
|
Tenuta to ND is amazing on paper, but where does that leave Corwin Brown? Not trying to incite anything, just curious. |
|
Corwin Brown is still the defensive coordinator. |

|
corwin brown is going to take over the secondary since that's his speciality and tenuta will take over the LB's b/c that's his speciality. corwin is still the head dc, but tenuta will get to put in his 2 cents with certain blit pakages i'm assuming. this is a great hire considering tenuta was highly sought after his release from GaTEch |
|
jay, where are you getting your information? Forgive me for being a bit skeptical. |
|
Jon Tenuta coaching at Notre Dame. |
|
I'm just shocked this guy couldn't get another DC job, or maybe I'm impressed he's chosen this position at ND. |
|
dcdomer- from gold helmet. there's a nd moderator/guru who said that this is going to be the arrangement. obviously he's not charlie so nothing is set in stone, but considering corwin was a db coah in the pros and tenuta was a lb speciality where ever he's gone i think that what the moderator said is a fair assumption. |

Pardon my framented post....I am a little excited about the possibility! |
|
Hearing that makes me warm and tingly inside. Methinks we won't be bitching on the gameday threads anymore about the lack of pressure on the QB if this turns out to be true. |
|
How does this change our chances of getting Keith Wells into our class? |
|
I don't know if Judy Tenuta would do well at ND. She's a Judyist, you know. She could play in the band with her accordian, though. |
|
All I know is, Tenuta's LBs every year I've seen them have been impressively aggressive. Well done, Charlie. |
|
Guys: |
|
Lush, I wouldnt worry about Olin Buchanan. Many consider the '66 team one of the greatest of all-time. Hell, they only gave up 38 points all season and 24 of those came against Purdue and Michigan St. In '77 from the Purdue game on ND was the best team in the country and they proved that against Texas. I would say that the Tenuta signing will be the best of this recruiting season. I know Jon personally, he is a great guy, comes from a great family and is one helluva football coach. Welcome, Jon, to the ND family. |
|
Good article at und.com on Coach Tenuta and ND. It is official. |
|
Holy Moly we hired Tenuta!!!!!!! |
|
Jim Masterson: |
|
First, RIP Easter. Your selfless service was cherished and will be dearly missed. |
|
So this was first about Easter now about a new coach. You guys are all clowns. Shame on you for using Easter. |
|
RIP Easter |
|
I read that Buchanen article on Rivals that Lush mentioned, and while two ND teams are on there as controversial champions, mention is also given to the '93 ND team that got jobbed out of the honour by Bowden's FSU team. |
|
Do they mention 1984 BYU? |
|
Yes, 1984 BYU was one of them. |
