by | Oct 1, 1991 | Detroit Free Press

On the morning of the last day of the best days of his life, Ernie Harwell got up and put a cassette into the small recorder he had plugged in under the sink. “This is Sammy Fain singing,” he said. The recorder spit out scratchy sounds of an old man and a piano, a ballad, a pretty melody. We came together young and strong

The summer smiled and touched us with a song

for that one summer

that one sweet summer

I can retire now. I’ve seen it all.

In one weekend, I watched Michigan finally beat Notre Dame, on a fourth-down bomb that surely would have made Bo Schembechler quit the game and go into baseball, if he hadn’t done that already.

and beat them, 20-3. Thanks for having us, George. We had a great time.
