Gridion Legends Luncheon Series with Pete Dawkins, College Football Hall of Fame Inductee
Location:
College Football Hall of Fame
111 South Street Joseph Street
South Bend, Indiana 46601
Starts at: 11:30 AM
This is not an all day event
Description:
As a youngster, Heisman Trophy winner Pete Dawkins faced a condition that seemingly would make the idea of ever competing in athletics impossible. Stricken with a mild case of polio when he was 11, doctors told Dawkins that he would never play football. But through a rigorous regimen of exercise and weight lifting he corrected a curved spine and regained his strength.
He went on to a legendary career at Army, distinguishing himself as the only cadet in history to simultaneously serve as Brigade Commander, class president, captain of the football team, and a \"star man\" in the top five percent of his class academically. On the field, Dawkins earned unanimous All-America honors during his senior campaign, leading the Cadets to their last undefeated season in 1958.
After winning a Rhodes Scholarship and studying at Oxford, he began a 24-year military career, rising to the rank of Brigadier General and winning numerous awards including three Bronze Stars for valor in Vietnam. In 1983, he entered the world of finance and business, and he currently serves as the vice chairman of Citigroup Global Wealth Management.
He earned induction into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1975, and he claimed the 2007 NFF Gold Medal, the organization\'s highest honor.
