Gene Colliers article on Franco Harris...

Question: Can someone please screenshot or copy and paste the wonderful tribute article yesterday by Gene Collier in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette? The article as I understand is being lauded as an award winning level tribute to Franco but it's behind a stupid paywall..

Thx in advance

It’s divine in that the purpose of tonight is to recognize the man and not the play.

Franco, as many are learning, was way more than a football player. For 50 years he served Pittsburgh and its people like no other, almost saint like. What happened on 12/23/72 may have been immaculate on the field but not in life as it brought Franco to his chosen occupation of giving, giving, and giving to the people of Pittsburgh.

Sue Paterno had the best quote I heard. She said the iconic photo of Franco bending down low to scoop up the ball off the ground is symbolic of how he lifted up the city of Pittsburgh. Great line!

Like with Joe, it feels like a family member has died.
