Several members of the South Bend/ Michiana Chapter met for the monthly chapter luncheon. Our chapter meets on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at Bar Louie Restaurant at University Park Mall. The hot topic lately has been the Notre Dame Women’s basketball team and their incredible season leading to the NCAA championship game with Connecticut. Unfortunately, they lost but what a great season: 37-1. Along with the NCAA basketball tournament pool, another pool was started for the last day of any snow remains from the parking lot snow piles. we had an inch of snow on Mar 15 to add to the snow piles, but hopefully the parking lots will be clear by the end of April!

Louisiana welcomed the USNA Gospel Choir on Veterans Day, March 11, 2014, at the renown St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans. The choir was superb and was treated to a Cajun dinner, sponsored by the USNA Louisiana Parent’s Club following the concert. Well done!! Check the Chapter web site for a joint event this summer with the Jefferson Performing Arts Society.The documentary MURPH: The Protector is a featurelength documentary based on LT Michael Murpy’s entire life of honor, courage, and commitment, as told by his friends, family, and teammates. Michael was raised in Patchogue, New York, attended Penn State University and then joined the U.S. Navy to serve in the SEAL teams. He gave his life for his men in 2005 and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2007. Mr. Jeff Widenhofer ’97, a Chapter member, composed and performed the music for this documentary.
