[PRCo] Re: Steelers Owner Dan Rooney

[Bob Rathke]

I also graduated from North Catholic - in the 50's when several Rooneys were 
there.  For four years, our classroom seats were assigned alphabetically 
A-Z, so in my column of desks it was Rathke and then Rooney (Tim).  Tim and 
I then went to Duquesne University.  After graduation he went to work in the 
front office of the Giants and Lions, and is now retired.

I remember that Tim walked to school, so I assume that Dan probably did too.
