The head football coach at Lehigh University, John C. Whitehead, attended the same school as my father and two of my uncles - Scotland School for Veterans Children in Franklin County
Mr. Whitehead coached both my Uncle Joe and Uncle Ray in football.
John was an intense but down-to-earth man who came to symbolize Lehigh. He led the Engineers for 10 seasons, compiling a 75-38 record.
That included a Division II national title in 1977 and two Lambert Trophy titles as the best squad in Division I-AA.
