[NU Sports] John DeGroat

?? List Gang,?? I haven't been on-line since last week, so suffice to say it was a punch in the stomach when I heard of John's passing.? I'm sorry I never met him, but being from Central Pa. I always thought that sometime I'd run into him.? My brother has been treated for lymph node cancer once, was in remission, but now is fighting it again. He's in the Navy and is in treatment in San Diego.? 

?? He's a huge football fan; Temple and Eagles (a TU grad).? Get this:? I have an old H.S. buddy who arranges public speakers with big events.? He set me up to meet Jerome Bettis in Hershey 2 weeks ago; I asked Jerome to call my brother; he eagerly accepted, and spoke with Tony for 3-4 minutes about football, this and that.? Jerome is awesome!? I can't hate Notre dame after that day.

?? More about our woebegon' defense later.?????? Eric

Sorry to hear of John's passing. I too regret that we won't have a chance to 
meet in person. RIP John.

Tom
