Elsewhere ...New Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson credits his late father Harry '77, a Dartmouth football standout, for helping shape him into the man he is. Wilson graduated from North Carolina State in three years and will play for the Badgers this fall as a graduate student after spending the past couple of summers playing minor league baseball. From a UW Badgers story:
Throughout the decision-making process, which entailed choosing between two sports (baseball and football) and two schools (Auburn and Wisconsin), Russell Wilson was never alone.To get a sense of what kind of quality son Harry raised, check out this video interview.
Wherever he went, whatever he thought, he carried the spirit and wisdom of his late father.
