About 6 years ago I went to a PMC Reunion, (Phillys' Spring Training Game in CLearwater, Florida). After the game we all met at the Hyatt, at the outdoor bar. (Beautiful setting). Who do I see, none other than, Nick Trainer,64 our Football, Captain, (Ist Team All MAC, Recently Selected to the PMC/Widener Sports Hall of Fame, Former President of the PMC/Widener Trustees). "Impressive Graduate", (Would you say). I respected the "Hell" out of him, period.

I go up to him at the bar and say something like.."Hi, I'm Bob Grosch Class of 66". He shook my hand,smiled and said "I know who you are".

He introduced me to his beautiful Girl Friend and we drank, laughed, "told stories", (I mostly listened).

Here is a Pete Rohana Story told by a loose Nick Trainer.

"It's opening day, at home, in front of a packed stadium.  We are "Playing Wagner University". Pete Rohana is starting at outside linebacker,"I'm in the Middle",Nick says. First Series of Downs, Pete comes back the the defensive huddle, "He had gotten his bell rung". 

"Tough guy, played the rest of game and made All-Mac in his senior year, We won 15 to 8".

Note, Pete was the only Sophmore to start on The Cadet,1963/64 Defense. (A Bad Ass Defense).
