First, my dad is an amazing judge of character. It’s scary how often his first impression of someone is right on.
Second, there almost must have been rumors. We lived 2 hours or so from State College, most of his coworkers over the years were Penn State grads. The grand jury stuff from years ago might have leaked out... I don’t really know. Might have to pry a little next time I talk to him. I don’t know.
I didn’t go to Penn State and I haven’t lived in PA for eight years or so, so I don’t know any real details. But a lot of my old friends are really, really shook up about all this.
Dads can definitely be good judges of character! With something going on this long (and now possibly being talked about as a “ring”) people have heard whispers. Thanks, JenB!
Goodness, JenB, give your dad a call and ask him what he meant by calling Paterno a child molester!
