Since today is day 1 of the NCAA Wrestling Championships a 91 year throwback to when PVC spent almost 6 minutes in the tournament.

Jan 2, 1969. Notable because 9 year old me was correct in picking Penn State to win the Orange Bowl😉🍊

01/01/2026

Start 2026 off with a trip way back in time, newspaper mentions long before his Call writing days. Off to the military, then speaking about experience after. In 2025 much talk in the NFL was about how easy the field goal has become and how to make it harder, 80 years ago PVC wanted to box the goalposts, and it got mentions in Harrisburg and Sunbury papers. And PVC goes to a venison roast.

As always on Christmas Day the tribute PVC wrote about his father, who passed on December 25, 1967

61 years ago

December 22, 1964. PVC has a Christmas list, camouflaged as a letter by number 2 son, as he was referred to in some columns.

12/17/2025

Some random PVC clippings from Mid-Decembers past, Dribbling Dan debuts in '62, almost got a deer in 1955, and winning the soccer varsity award in 1936 from East Stroudsburg Teachers College.

11/13/75 Haven/Blue Mountain 🏈, and an Alvin Dark quote, because who expected to read an Alvin Dark quote today. Also included are the gamers from both the BM and SH writers, check out the stats and the scoring summaries from both sides🤔.

10/30/75. First time in 3 weeks the photocopy of the columns aren't too light to read so I return. First time all fall both locals get a W on the same weekend, plus this issue reminds me of the joy of holding the chains on the Cardinal Brennan sidelines and learning more obscene words and sentences from CB coach Bill Kirelawich than the other coaches in my few years on the chain gang combined.

10/02/2025

10/2/75 - Local football probaly ready for October as the 2 schools finished off a combined 1-7 September. Wrap up of kinda big time golf at the Schuylkill Country Club, and another BM athlete has their D1 🏈 career end early.

09/25/2025

9/25/75. Local 🏈 loses again, the Nativity fall local athlete roster, and getting Call top of page 1 status, it's not "THAT" PGA Championship, but the Philly sectional championship is being played at Schuylkill Country Club. And if PVC was pleased that 💵 didn't help the Phillies and Yankees make the '75⚾️, I'll assume he wouldn't be thrilled with the Phillies/Yankees/Dodgers 2025 payrolls for playoff teams.
