As many of you know, I am a huge Notre Dame Football fan. In fact, I am a fan of anything and everything Notre Dame related. Because of this I had to share with our readers that a member of the Fighting Irish family has died. James Easter Heathman, who as a teenager was one of the first to get to the site of the plane crash that killed legendary Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne, died on Tuesday at the age of 90. Heathman had been taking people, mostly Irish fans, faithful and alumni, to the site of the crash for the last 20 years. Dennis Brown, a spokesman for Notre Dame, said:
Easter was a wonderful man whose lifelong dedication to honoring the memory of Knute Rockne will forever be appreciated by Notre Dame...
Thanks Easter Heathman for all you did for the Notre Dame family and for helping us all to Wake Up The Echoes!
Go Irish!
