We were talking about JoePa in class. Here's my opinion:
He lived a great life. He helped so many kids. He was a hero to many. He was selfless. Finally, he did not tell authorities about a case of child molestation that he knew was occuring. If you ask me, that is pretty messed up. It's not like he knew about some roberry, or some planned assault: he knew about a dozen kids being molested by a member of his coaching staff and by my guess, his friend.
I don't think his whole life should be forgotten by recent events, but the new events will always overshadow his life as "saint".
ON another note, I'm secretly getting my girlfriend a puppy for her borthday in February. She and her parents don't know about it, and I'm not sure what their reactions will be, but still.
