During my time on the Hill, football was in decline, but hoops rose out of the ashes.  Roy Danforth was the reason. I remember getting to see a couple of practices at Manley, and Danforth had a ball scrimmaging with the players. I didn't know then that disappointments like 'Jazzy' McDaniels would give way to Dennis Duval, Kid Kohls, Bill Smith, Mike Lee, Bob Dooms, Marc Wadach and Rudy Hackett during my time there, and that we'd become a really exciting team. One of my RA's was Bill Case, a former captain who was one of the nicest people I met at SU.

Got to thinking about Danforth, and read this old article in the Philly Daily News:

It got me to wondering whether SU has reached out to Roy (he's still alive) and whether there has been a [I]rapprochement[/I] with Roy. He sure deserves it. He made that team the sports highlight of my years at SU. I still think of him with fondness.
