Washington Captures Valley Forge
By Mel Greenberg
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. _ This is just a quick Guru note to mention we took a quick trip to the Valley Forge Convention in suburban Philadelphia where conditions were quite different Monday than those experienced by another Washington during the Revolutionary War.
Penn State's annual caravan made a stop to meet with its largest collection of alumni in the state and the contingent included Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno, men's basketball coach Ed DeChellis and new women's basketball coach Coquese Washington.
Whereas the other Washington had to deal with quite the chill several centuries ago, this Washington was warmly greeted by Penn State attendees and appeared to make a favorable impression on all those who approached the former Notre Dame star and associate head coach.
Coach Washington even had a few moments to be a willing conspirator of the Guru involving one of the sports department editors in the home office.
Since her appointment several weeks ago, the individual has been after the Guru to find the background behind how Coquese got her first name.
Well, using one of the Guru's cell phones on hand, Washington dialed the individual and had a small chat to answer the question.
Then it was time for the formal session to begin and the Guru to depart the premises.
