The Wiley family,
I am a Steelers fan from "way back" and now live in Minnesota. I happened to be in the Methodist Hospital this past May and everyone there knew I was a Steelers fan! A nurse said someone across the hall has a connection to Pittsburgh and after much investigating, discovered it was Mrs. Wiley. As I was being discharged, I went to her room, introduced myself and talked about Jack, the Steelers and Waynesburg as I had an uncle who played for Waynesburg around the time Jack was there. We had a nice, brief conversation and I enjoyed meeting her. May she rest in peace.
