GDG- New Museum introduction

[Margaret D. Blough]

Now, now Jim.  Everyone is entitled to at least 24 hours of acting completely insane with joy when their team wins a national title.  You should have been in Conemaugh Township, Somerset County, PA, where I grew up, when the NY Giants, led by back-up quarterback Jeff Hostetler, beat the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl.  Jeff was a graduate, like me but some years after me, of Conemaugh Township High School, a very small rural high school, that would have been overjoyed to produce anyone who could make it to a major university football program, would have considered that person making the pros at all almost too much to hope for, and the possibility that person would win a Super Bowl ring would have been considered total fantasy.  Basically everyone in the township and the surrounding area, including the Johnstown newspaper, went berserk with joy, whether or not they were generally interested in football or not.

However, if it keeps up, then we must trust in the moderators to know when to pull the plug (if they can pause in their marathon rendition of the KU fight song long enough to consider it <g>).

Regards,

Margaret
