Darrell “Flash” Gordon brought joy to the hearts of Notre Dame fans in 1988, helping lead the Fighting Irish to a national championship. These days, he brings happiness and a future to the lives of abused and neglected children through the Wernle Youth & Family Treatment Center. And he tells us all about how he got to those places in his new book, Change Does Not Occur in a Flash.
Flash is a unique figure in Notre Dame football history — a starting outside linebacker from a nationally-renowned football program who eschewed tryouts for the National Football League in favor of making a difference for other people.
