In the middle of nowhere, but in the middle of everything:

— Google Maps says State College is an hour away (I remembered it being further)
— 90 minutes to Harrisburg, a bit longer to Scranton
— 3 hours to Philly and Baltimore
— 3:30 or so to New York, D.C. and Pittsburgh

I think the Mussinas are still a big deal up there. Mike’s brother sold real estate for a while.

I don’t know how “robust” the compensation will be, unless a lot has changed since my days working for Ogden long ago.

 

And 15 minutes to Tahoe ...

 

This was posted June 28 and said the deadline was July 1. Holy smokes how “immediate” are we talking here?

 

Apparently...immediate

 

Got to have him on staff in time to start costing kids scholarships at the Little League World Series.
