Another great-great-great-great grandfather was born in Ireland and came to America early enough to fight in the American Revolution. He was present at the surrender in Yorktown. His daughter married my French ancestor's son and I am their descendent. We don't know if the two men met during the Revolution, but they both ended up in the same small Tennessee community.

I know what Bastille Day is. It's the day that lead my great-great-great-great grandfather to leave France for America a second time. He had fought in one revolution (ours) and didn't want to repeat that experience. Vive la France!

Being dead does not excuse him for what he did not do while he was alive. His son has been all over TV saying that his father did nothing wrong. That will have to suffice as Joe Pa's rebuttal to what numerous others did tell the Freeh investigators. If you read Freeh's findings as reported by the New York Times, you will see that there is written evidence (e-mails and written notes) generated at the time by the very university officials who were covering up the scandal.

It now appears that Paterno and other university officials actively sought to hide Sandusky's activities. See New York Times article about the Louis Freeh investigation. It appears that Mr. Paterno's widely-acclaimed integrity failed him when it was most needed.

The chapter ending, I think, may qualify as the mildest cliffhanger the goat has ever used. We have to wait a week (or two) to find out what Shane is explaining to a skeptical Trevor. -

If I get carded these days, it's because I requested a senior discount. I think some retailers train their cashiers to do that as a PR gimmick. You twenty-somethings are going to feel good every time someone guesses your age as being less than 30, 40, 50, etc. I'm sure you will learn to deal with it.
