Thanks for posting. I had wanted to watch this but forgot to search for it. It's tough seeing Parkinson's starting to effect Brian. I pray there is a cure for this disease, or at the very least something found to reduce it's effects.

Really enjoyed that.

God Bless, Brian.

Damn....classy. Impressive. Proud to have him as part of the Xavier family. Would love to get him to come speak at the high school I teach at. Love the symbolism of the domino.

Thanks for posting. I had heard about it recently, but hadn't seen it.

I hit pause and made a donation to the Brian Grant Foundation sometime after the 7 minute mark ...

I knew Brian fairly well when we were in school, and I know public speaking wasn't his favorite thing in the world. He is a great example of a Xavier graduate, and has turned himself into a very respectable person on stage at such events.

This was great to see, I appreciate the post and for sharing. BG is great guy and fantastic human being.

You could tell how nervous he was - I like to think some of the shaking was due to that and his Parkinson's is not that bad.
Nice that there were some Xavier fans/alum in attendance. He emulates what we hope all Xavier students and athletes are or become.
Damn nice fish he and Malone pulled in...or maybe it was the little white guy in the middle.
I wonder how much that ended up per pound at 107K?

Fantastic. Just watched it, finally. A class act.
