Could you Trace that name to a current PSU Quarterback?

No, wouldn't have known it without looking it up.

Was a mere lad just turned 8 when the gales of November came early

Had to do a school report on important events that occurred and people born on my birthday. Needless to say, my report was pretty topical as we did it just before Christmas break. The Fitz sank on November 10. Sad story.

One of these days I'd like to visit the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum.
