WHERE HAVE YOU GONE? at‑arms Nordy Hoffman, a former All‑American under Knute Rockne for the 1930 national champions. By 1974 O'Brien became the congressional rep‑ resentative of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. After 17 years in that field, he moved over to a law firm for a couple of years, establishing his own government rela‑ tions office for six years and worked for NASA until 2006. Beginning in 2006 and through his retirement in February 2013, O'Brien worked closely with Rep. Peter King (Republican‑New York), the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, and Rep. Dan Lungren, California's at‑ torney general from 1991‑99. Lungren graduated from Notre Dame in 1968, the same year King received his law degree from the university. Securing borders, dams, harbors and transportation were all under his of‑ fice's umbrella, with a special emphasis on establishing a cyber security bill for Congress. "We were at the forefront of all of these issues that are so important, and we were trying to harden our defenses and find out where our weaknesses were to help our security posture," O'Brien said. "They were the best years of my life professionally." Now retired and enjoying life with his wife of 33 years, Barbara, and three adult children, he remains close to his alma mater while honing his golf game. Whether it was on offense at Notre Dame or "defense" on Capitol Hill, O'Brien has had a way of providing good security. ✦ Authentic Notre Dame Helmets by Authentic "Speed" Full-Size Display Helmets Riddell's ND "Speed" helmet features a large-size shell, special-order facemask worn by most of the star players who choose to wear the Speed, internal padding reflective of the "Speed Classic" design, and 4-pt. chinstrap.
