How've you been stranger? Good to see you again.

I've been fine. And you?

I'm hanging in there. Had major spinal surgery last September and recovering
ok so far.

Looks like Paterno and the boys did us all proud again this season.

Yeah, they done good! Only one play from an unbeaten season.
And most of them can read and write, too!

What I admire most about Joe is that he insists his players be
students first. In 34 years of teaching at Penn State, I gave at
least half a dozen of his players Ds or Fs. Never heard one peep out
of Joe, or anyone else.

I agree completely. Paterno has given his players much more than football.
He's inspired them to achieve in the classroom as well as on the field and
the result has been to give them life after football.
It's ironic that someday, when people speak about Paterno, the general
consensus will most likely be that Paterno's greatest contribution in life
wasn't football at all, but his philosophy on life and how that played into
the lives of those who were lucky enough to have played under him at Penn
State.
