"My great-grandfather was orphaned at the age of 9, and he lived with his cousins in Wisconsin on a farm. As a young man, he moved to South Bend. He married, had eleven kids, worked in a shirt factory. He was the biggest Notre Dame fan. Someone even offered to pay for him to come, but he couldn’t: he had to work and take care of his kids. Two of his kids and thirteen total descendants have gone on to attend Notre Dame. His name was Clement Miller. That was my confirmation name—in honor of him."
