Notre Dame Homecoming Oct 19, 1968 (ND 58, Illini 8)
Jene stayed with Paul and Nancy Godbout when she came to Notre Dame’s Homecoming in 1968. After she left, Nanny said to me, “Jimmy, SHE’S THE ONE.” Lesson for life: Always listen to your Nanny!
Graduating from Notre Dame, June 1, 1969. (L/R: my Mother, Grandmother, Grandfather, me, & Jene)
Where we went the night we got engaged. After midnight, I slipped a ring on her finger. (Yes, that would have made it the Ides of March!)
Visiting Mason City as an engaged couple. The “Music Man” Bridge.
We painted Jene’s parents’ house to make money to pay for our wedding. Our wedding set us back $600, including Jene’s wedding dress, my tuxedo and the Honeymoon!
