I think my fondest memory of Father Ted was when he received the Congressional Gold Medal from President Clinton in Congress. He had received many, many awards up until that time and, of course, this was an incredible award. And he really appreciated it, but I think the President said it as well as any of us could. He said to Father Hesburgh, Many people have hung many things around your neck, but what you have around your neck in that little white collar is probably what you treasure most of all.
