Fun fact: “I was part of a large Steve Jobs group costume at an ND football game. I sported the famous entrepreneur's classic look - black turtleneck, blue jeans, and circular glasses - with about 15 other friends for Halloween. We ended up getting some television air time and there were even a couple of articles written about it.”
