I give him credit for his courage. As he says "Today I am righting a personal wrong, because today I am repainting the halos I removed from my “Inspiration” mural in State College. I am not doing this because I believe all who had them were “saints.” I am doing this because it is the right thing to do."
I wish our Board of Trustees would "right a personal wrong.....because it is the right thing to do", but as long as the Old Guard is in power, I see no chance of that happening.
 
Fairgambit, you beat me to it. I read this article early this morning. It takes a real man (woman) to publicly admit a mistake. Thankful that Michael reconsidered his earlier actions. If you watch the video, listen to what Bruce Clark has to say about JoePa.
 
Pilato, with the help of former All American defensive end Bruce Clark, painted back Paterno’s halo — along with all halos for all other deceased members of his Heister Street mural, which Pilato selects based on community members that inspire him.

“He’s the only dad I ever knew,” Clark said after adding back the halo. “I use him as an example I use of what a man should be like.”
 
The farther we get from Nov 2011 the more I regret having given the bot the benefit of the doubt. They are a bunch of lying dirtbags, and I should have recognized it sooner.
It's never too late to realize past mistakes. A very wise man once said "With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more."

Funny how Pearls said by 2014 this would be a distant memory and here it is 2016 and I'm more pissed off than ever at the OG BOTs!
