Sally did well

Really appreciate her thoughtful responses. Very glad she did this Q&A.

Still the part that angers me the most...

…although the ineptitude of our University’s leadership should no longer surprise anyone, this question/answer really irks me.

Q.
Did you interview other family members as well? What did they have to say about the Board of Trustees?

A.
SALLY JENKINS :
I spoke with four of the five Paterno children and also with his wife Sue, and they are furious with the university leaders for the way they fired Paterno, and also for the fact that there was very little outreach once Paterno announced he had cancer. President Rodney Erickson didn’t call him or send so much as a get well card, according to the family. They finally heard from him when he sent a thank yuo note for a $100,000 gift Paterno gave the university last week. That sort of thing seriously upset his family. Paterno was actually the peacekeeper while I was in the house. He kept saying he didn’t want to be bitter, and his relations with the school were very important to him.

Unreal, isn't it?

Very telling. They only acknowledge your existence after you’ve given them money. Kind of like a stripper.

Consider this my official declaration of non-support of child molestation.

The one that angered me most was the ass who stated something about

the chain of command beginning and ending with Joe. As if he was the King of University Park…
