lately.
On Saturday, Nov. 30, “Ike”
gave his name away — yes, his
,very name, to his childhood sweet­

arm’s reach of him. They were
good cigars — good and strong.
Mr. Griffin was presented with
one of the post-nuptial rolled

he hasn’t missed a day of school.
Edinboro should be proud in­

personal gifts, “Ike” is also a gen­
