Thon shatters records

I encouraged you -- in my printed column -- to stop at Thon, and I hope you did.

What a scene.

I stayed only a few minutes and saw what I expected and what I'd seen in our photos and video.

Repeating: What a scene.

The result is $6.6 million for the Four Diamonds Fund and Penn State students should be so proud. They've raised the bar, they've done it the right way, and they've helped many young people and their families.

Thon is the feel-good story of '08, and now you can send well wishes, watch the video and see the photos, read all about it and celebrate this record. Perhaps you helped them reach it.
