He was very assiduous about
editing and shaping his story until the story
became the reality. upbeat music In the '20s, early '30s, he really wanted to
be a football player because that's how you
became a national hero if you were a young man. Problem was he was
blind as a bat, he was not terribly fast and was not really
all that large. So my father never became a
real hero on the grid iron, but he did get to be a
football leaguer eventually in "Knute Rockne All American"
where he plays George Gipp, uh, the famous Notre Dame star. bright music [crowd cheering]
