Mourning JoePa

watched some of the memorial service this afternoon. Tremendous eulogy by Jay Paterno. And the lone Blue Band trumpet player playing "Hail to the Lion" as a mournful funeral dirge... Well done Penn State. I know I speak for my Dad too when I quote one of the student signs that lined the funeral procession path, "WE ARE because YOU WERE." God bless Coach... and thanks.

RIP: Nicol Williamson

Baby's first "circle of neglect" time. Seems to be enjoying it...trying to eat the cup.

We are... Very sad.

God bless you, Coach. You deserved better.

Thank you for returning my father's stolen slide rule when he was a poor struggling engineering student and was embarrassed to admit he couldn't afford another one. You were a hero to my father, to me, and you will be to my sons. May you rest in peace.

We are.... Very sad.

God bless you, Coach

sadly, we could not attend this year but Bob sent this photo along. looks
like a great turn out! our hearts are with you, but it was too much after
being away, both of us having a brutal work week, and my having to work all
weekend. but hopefully this will be the last one we ever miss.
