So I'm in a business meeting today in AZ and a supplier from Baltimore area says "I heard you're from Pennsylvania, cause I'm from Emmaus and went to West Chester, class of 1978". I respond with "yeah, from the Hershey area, PSU class of 1978 also".
He says "well you must remember the Milton Hershey Tight End, Joe Senser, who went to West Chester and played for the Minnesota Vikings, making the Pro Bowl once or twice".
I said I actually did remember him from Central PA Capital Area Conference days and later decided to check to see if Joe Senser had a Wiki page.
Well, to my surprise, our beloved HERSHEY TRUST appears in his Bio as per below. 3 months ago the Kane tried to remove him from the Board. Go figure...
An excerpt from the article highlighted in RED below:
In its latest filing with the IRS for the year ending July 31, 2014, the Hershey charity disclosed that Redmond earned $97,500 in directors' compensation, Senser earned $204,500, and Cavanaugh earned $332,500. The money could have come from multiple Hershey-related boards and may not be subject to the 2013 agreement.
