The Notre Dame Club has been active for over 60 years in the Dallas Community and we have had almost as many people that have served as president of the Club.  We have also been honoring people who have provided outstanding service to the community with our Person of the Year Award for almost as long.  This table lists the people who have served as Notre Dame Club of Dallas Club President and the recipient of the Person of the Year Award for that year.  While some of these people are no longer with us anymore, they are always here in Notre Dame spirit.

Soon after Graduation in June, 1940 -- Jim Swift ('24) called and told me that his group had decided that I was to take his place as President of the Notre Dame Club of Dallas. I was honored -- but something seemed a little too easy. Within a few weeks we met in Room D on the third floor of the Dallas Athletic Club, which was on St. Paul Street between Elm and Pacific. That room, which would hold about thirty, became the Notre Dame Club's meeting place for the next few years.

Present at this meeting were the majority of Graduates and Ex-students in the area: Jim Swift and Pat Buell of the Class of '24 Arthur Simpson (about the Class of 1900) Bill Grady (about the Class of 1910) Harold Delaney (about the Class of '16) Jim Walsh (about the Class of '26) Dr. Lloyd Bellamy, Class of '32 Jim Simmons (about the Class of '32) Ed Haggar, Class of '38
