Another Mile Post Along Memory Lane

Penn State Cross Country 1970!  Coach Groves had already had his film projector "borrowed" by Coach Paterno from the office next door, and never returned!  He related this story to me more than once, and I think it was one of the earliest occurances that cemented his non-love for the gridiron coach.

• Some of the athletes still look older than Coach Groves.
• Friend Steve Miller at his dorky best! (That's a compliment BTW).
• Murderers Row of Bruce McLanahan, Gary Gittings, Greg Fredericks and Bob Hillman in the second row.
• Youthful looking Jim Allahand and Charlie Maguire.
• Dick Geiger somehow looking smaller than usual!

It's Not A Birthday Without A Cake

And thanks to our Golden Putter Attendant, Coach Groves got his 87th cake yesterday.  Greg Fredericks and Gary Gittings celebrated the day with Coach Groves at his residence in State College.

A Follow-Up On Penn State's Highest Honor, With a Tuxedo!

So far, a photo of Greg Fredericks in a tuxedo has eluded me, but I did receive at least one pic with a tuxedo in it, and another couple with a bunch of Penn State Greats NOT wearing tuxedos.

Bob Hillman receives his Distinguished Alumnus Award, in a tuxedo.

Bob and Greg visit Coach Groves.
