Amendola represented a 16-year-old girl then known as Mary Iavasile when she filed an emancipation petition in September 1996. The emancipation petition said the girl had graduated from high school in two years with a 3.69 GPA and held a fulltime job at Amendola's law office.

No, nana was 15 when she married my grandfather who was 25. He stuck with her for the rest of his life—but they were Roman Catholics of French Canadian extraction (only slightly less devout than Irishmen).

How about a wedding picture? It wouldn’t be quite as bad as those photos of filthy old Muslim goats with pathetic little girls that I’ve seen.

I hope they CLEAN HOUSE with the football athletic department at PSU. Jay Paterno really rubs me the WRONG WAY when I look into his eyes and listen to his words.

Many contend that NO one can convince them that those who have been part of the PSU Football coaching team for the past 8-20 years hasn’t been informed in some way that PSU has been Aiding and abetting the PERV NATION!
