Sure hope you had a nice turkey! And may you
have a wonderful, holy and merry Christmas and a
prosperous 1965. These articles are usually written
way In advance of publication; as a matter of fact,
as of this moment Vm looking fonvard (o the big
weekend coming up — the ND-P«rdue game and
our reunion party. I'm sorr>- that the deadline
comes before the reunion party so I'll have nothing
to report on this time. Tm happy to say that the
June reunion hangover is gone finally although I
doubt if GERRY FINNEY (how's that? two mentions
in a rowl), JI.M BERNHART or DICK
TIERNEY can say the same.
Now for some facts. ^fANNY SEQUEIRA and
•bis wife Angeic report the birth of their fourth
"on, Robert Charles, on .Aug. 25, 1964. Also, on
June 16, 1964, Tonic and CHRIS MALONE were
blessed with Timothy Jcrard. Tliat makes 5 boys
and a girl for Chris and Tonic. The only (yes,
only) other mail I've received since June was a
real tearjerkcr from JACK NASHERT. Jack
started to the reunion on Friday, June 12 at
noon flying by himself in his trusty Cessna. Thunderstorms
forced him down at Joplin, Mo., where
he spent a frustrating weekend waiting for the
rains to stop — and they did, just in time for him
to fly back home to Oklahoma City. Sice tr>'.
Jack. Sec you in '69. Jack was going to pick
up BOB HOWARD for the trip to ND only Bob
had the measles. How about that? JIM DASCH-
^ACH is also living in Oklahoma City working
Por his doctorate in industrial management. Finally,
JACK NASHERT reports that he has two boys
and two giris, and that his business •— construction
— is booming.

REGIS F. X. PHILBIN '53
After Steve Allen, a Bright New Star
A few months ago when Dick Connelly
'55, manager of press relations for the Westinghouse
Group W Network, told us about
a new national television personality named
Regis Francis Xavier Philbin, we could be
excused for tiiinking we were getting our
leg gently pulled. But within a few weeks
"That Regis Philbin Show" had replaced
"The Steve Allen Show" on Westinghouse
stations in San Francisco, Boston, Cleveland,
Pittsburgh and Baltimore (plus several
others in syndication) and the late-night
variety-entertainment show, originating in
Hollywood, was getting invidious comment
from Johnny Carson and Les Crane, Regis'
competition on NBC and ABC respectively.
Regis, who insists on retaining his own
name (even though it results in such
spoonerisms as "Phyllis Reagan"), is a
native New Yorker and came to Notre
Dame from Cardinal Hayes High School
in the Bronx. His uncle was Arthur Godfrey's
publicity man at CBS, and even as
a boy Regis dreamed of a career in show

Co. of North America as a claims adjuster.
PAUL McKEE, Box 161, Ramsey, III. 62080, is
teaching at Ramsey Junior High while working
on his MA at Western III. U. Well that's just a
business. After graduation with an AB in
sociology, he was conunissioned an ensign
in the Navy and saw service in the Pacific
before his discharge as a lieutenant (jg)
in San Diego. Heartened by a Marine
major's prediction of future stardom, he
landed a job as a page at the NBC studios
in New York.
One of Regis' jobs at NBC was ushering
for the "Tonight" show, then hosted by
Steve Allen. When a job offer came from
TV station KCOP in Hollywood, he visited
a gypsy fortime teller in a tearoom near
the studio on a lark. When the gypsy predicted
a long trip leading to eventual success,
he packed up for Hollywood and
started for KCOP as a part-time stage
hand and truck driver. In three years he
worked with commentator Tom Duggan
and other on-the-air personalities and finally
got a chance to fill in when Duggan was
taken ill.
Married (wife Catherine) and with a
child (Amy, now 6), Regis got a job as a
radio newsman for station KSON in San
Diego. Soon he had sold a late-night
variety show to KOGO-TV (in place of
another late movie), hosted, produced, written
and cast by himself. His combination
of talk, music, comedy and guest stars (like
Jerry Lewis and Liberace) soon made the
show the most popular in San Diego and
got him raves from Walter Winchell and
Variety.
One night Jerry Lewis challenged Regis
to become a national personality, and Westinghouse
apparently agreed. After tryouts
as "guest host" on "The Mike Douglas
Show" and "The Steve Allen Show" (with
Phyllis Diller), he was offered his own
show on the network with music by the
Terr)' Gibbs Sextet, proclaimed by Downbeat
and Metronome as the best new jazz
group in the business.
Regis has kept the same relaxed format
(a week-long guest celebrity, several guest
star spots, interviews and musical breaks)
and the same off-beat conversational technique
(he avoids any contact with guests
before the show and usually discovers some
hidden or unknown facet of a personality),
but his chief asset seems to be his own
boyish looks and Irish charm. Like Jerry
Dodge '58 in Broadivay's "Hello, Dolly,"
Tony Bill '63 in Hollywood comedies, and
classmate Brian Kelly in television's "Flipper"
scries, it looks as if a new star is bom.

Had a short note from Capt. CHARLIE SPICKA
saying he was going up to ND for the Purdue
game and party. I'm heading up early Friday
hoping to get in 18 holes of golf before meeting
Jane and BOB \^i'RIGin', Mary Lou and BILL
BURKE and Madeline and DICK CASTELLINI
from Cincinnati for dinner. I'm bringing up my
magic clubs (it you don^t believ*e me, ask DON
ZECH), and again all the thanks for the party have
to go to our hard working class president, DICK
PILGER. Incidentally, Dick has left ND and is
now teaching across the road at St. Mary's (don't
know how his wife permits it) where apparently
''excellence" in teaching is more important for a
teacher than research (as it should be). Thanks,
Dick!
