Insights in History – Special Rockne Finds and Stories from the Hunt

Collector Andy Nickle has assembled an amazing Knute Rockne collection over the years. He will discuss and show some one-of-a-kind and never-before-seen Rockne personal items, including the watch Rockne was wearing at time of the fatal plane crash, the telegram he sent his wife, Bonnie, just before he boarded the plane, pages from the 18-year-old Rockne’s 1907 application and exam for a postal clerk position, and the actual employment contracts he signed with Notre Dame and with Studebaker. Andy and Tina Nickle are sponsors of the podcast “Rockne: The Legend Lives On,” hosted by Alex Painter and presented in conjunction with the exhibit Rockne: Life & Legacy.

Our Insights in History speaker series begin at 1:30 p.m. Reservations are required two days prior to the event; attendance is limited. Please call 574.235.9664 ext. 6256.
