Karen is getting closer. She got the first name right. It's not John Pesta though. I attended kindergarten with John Pesta on Tripp Street school in 1965-1966 but haven't heard from him since. Our mystery man grew up on Slocum Street down by the railroad tracks and moved to Shoemaker Street when he got a little older. He told me he's living on Slocum Street again, not too far from where he grew up.
Ann Marie, I hope you scan me some pictures for the website, we don't have any of you since high school. Did you and Homer get a chance to meet up in FL? Penn State will meet Auburn tomorrow in the Capitol One Bowl in FL. The game starts at 1:00 p.m. EST for all you PSU fans! Go Penn State!
I almost forgot. If you're looking for a movie to see this season, I'd highly recommend 'Catch Me if You Can'. I first saw Frank Abagnale at Penn State in 1980. He gave a very entertaining lecture and he mentioned his book, but I was never able to find it until last year when it was re-released. His is a story of redemption and is wonderfully entertaining. The movie is directed by Steven Spielberg and excellently cast. You won't be disappointed.
