This is concerning Mr. Spanier's appearance at the Phyrst ("Washboard player should reconsider alcohol policy," Sept. 7). You will not believe how pleasantly surprised I was when I visited Penn State for a weekend in the summer two years ago. I dropped into the Phyrst on Saturday night and there was Mr. Spanier playing with the Phyrst Family. I thought to myself how cool this was. More power to him -- not only is there nothing wrong with this, I believe it enhances both his and Penn State's image.
