I had the pleasure of spending today at
Penn State Mont Alto for an information session for my Daughter the Elder's upcoming Freshman campaign. The lunch provided brought me back to those glory years in the dorms. The chicken sandwich wasn't quite a a Chicken Cosmo (
Here and
Here), but it was delicious, as was the mac and cheese and even the salad. I didn't get a good picture of the
Death by Chocolate ice cream for
Bob Radzwich because I started to eat it before sitting down, He would have been happy with me.

I also had the pleasure to meet PSU Mont Alto's new Mens and Womens Cross Country Coach,
Bill Preston. We were able to have a long conversation and seem to know quite a few mutual friends from all over. He even has a few good
Coach Groves stories,
but then again don't we all? Coach Preston was the coach of PA HS powerhouse
Council Rock and numerous PSU athletes were incubated in his program.
Bob Hamer and
Mark Haegele are among his PSU distance and middle distance recruits to PSU. Coach Preston describes Penn State as
"Council Rock West"!

For those coaches anywhere near Central Pennsylvania, Coach Preston is sponsoring a
free coaches clinic on
Saturday June 14th at Penn State Mont Alto. He has things to motivate and enlighten even the most veteran of coaches out there. I am wonderfully impressed with him. And you will be too.
Bill is one of the best guys in our sport. Glad to see he is still involved in coaching. Your daughter will be all the better from working with him. He's been a pesonal friend for a couple decades, and a very true Nittany Lion fan.
