Holy Shamrocks ! It took almost ten years before a genuinely humble man agreed to meet at the Ara bench near stadium north entry for a chat
Hometown - This South Bend youngster after Riley High, Young Mike spent five years in the tool and die industry before becoming one respected and well liked photo gentleman at our Lady’s school. Having earlier served as an usher at ND games following in his Dad and grandfather foot steps.
These remarkable photos started in 1982..... soon elevating Mike to Notre Dame‘s premier sports photographer… What a life and what a run imagine… All the Notre Dame championships plus trips to Europe, military hospitals aboard a C 135, US Navy ships like USS Nassau as well as Andrews Air Force Base, the White House with President Bush the national championship in 1988 and later ND basketball championships… The surprise election and presentation to the elite Notre Dame monogram club in 2003. Clearly, they threw away the the mold when they made a gentleman such as Mike Bennett
Love Thee, Notre Dame
