From them, he developed his skill for following the rules and his ability to negotiate. His family then moved to Central Pennsylvania, specifically Selinsgrove. Here is where he grew into a “brainy jock,” being that he was a three-sport athlete, basketball, football, and track, and was a class officer and active member of the National Honor Society.
