My father came from Wilkes-Barre on an athletic scholarship in 1942. He was the first in his family to attend college and he stayed to earn a Ph.D. and to teach American Literature for more than 20 years.
My sister and I grew up in State College and we both graduated from Penn State. My wife, Julie, and I have a home in Boalsburg and two of our sons are Penn State alumni.
Penn State's traditions are my traditions. Success with Honor is more than a slogan -- it's a pledge, a responsibility, and a way of life.
For me, Joe Paterno, has been and always will be a mentor, a role model, and a hero. He and my father were friends and colleagues and I grew up idolizing Joe and all that the Paterno family stands for.
I am committed to doing everything I can to fully restore his place of honor as the man who, along with Sue, helped so much to make our University strong and great.
