Football's Hall Of Fame certainly seems to have a large concentration of QB's from your area. Must be something in the water that JW doesn't know about. <vbg> Actually Pennsylvania as a whole must be a football player factory. I remember working in a few old industrial towns in PA on some special projects. One was in the town of Berwick. Home of Wise Potato Chips and the Berwick Bulldogs high school football team. I never thought high school level ball could be so big. The whole town would turn out to their games each Saturday. It was a weekly event that helped that town bond together. Little ol' Berwick High School found themselves to be the best in the nation a few times if I recall that correctly. I remember showing up to do work inside that factory (we were wiring up the transportable presidential convention television booths/studios for NBC, CBS, and CNN) and everyone would be talking about the game. I figured they were talking about the Eagles, or Steelers, or Nittany Lions of Penn State. I felt a little silly when they just stared at me as if I should have known that the Berwick Bulldogs had just beaten the cross town rivals from the other side of the train tracks. A few years later we did a job in Warminster, PA and it was similar. A lot of hometown pride. That's something that we don't see all that much here in this section of NY. The Pros get all the attention. Anyhow, keep those QB's coming. BTW, Florida seems to be a hotbed for football talent too. A lot of college recruiting goes on down there. -Clappy
