Now Timmer’s dream has been answered. His next planned trip was to go to Ireland in 2012 to watch Notre Dame play the Navy in an American football game in Croke Park in 2012.
“We were planning on selling all of the junk that I've accumulated over the years that I have stored out in my barn so that we could afford to fly over to Dublin and watch the game. Winning this trip is a tremendous gift. Thanks so much IrishCentral.com”

I don't think it could have gone to a nicer person. I've known the Captain my entire life and I've never met a man that has more love for his family and the land of his ancestors.
I wish him and his fine wife the very best !
