I have a connection to Penn State! Glad this was still here to swap out for the coin I’m dropping:) Will write more later.
My dad, and several of my aunts and uncles, graduated from Penn State. One aunt in particular loved to send Penn State paraphernalia when she drew our family's name for the Christmas present exchange. I remember getting a scarf, and a toy stuffed nittany lion on two different occasions :)
Needless to say, my brothers and I grew up Penn State fans. One of my brothers was living in Phoenix in 1986 and gave dad an awesome gift--a trip to the Fiesta Bowl to watch Penn State beat Miami for the national title! Boy, did dad love that :)
Even though I went elsewhere and am now also a fan of a different school, Penn State still has a place in my heart :)
