Message: [QUOTE="UnknownOrange, post: 2275070, member: 4689"] When I interned with SU my grandfather was dying in the hospital from kidney complications. As a huge syracuse basketball fans I wanted to see if Coach Boeheim could sign a hat for my grandfather to go inside his casket. I went up to the office and spoke with Kelly (as I would when our paths crossed) and I became a little gun-shy about asking because it dawned on me that just because I was interning for Syracuse didn't mean coach owed me anything. Kelly shot out from behind her desk and walked me into his office (first and only time i ever interacted with coach) and she told him that he "needed" to sign a hat for me. I explained what was going on and he could not have been nicer. Afterwards I thanked Kelly tremendously for what it meant to us and I'm not sure i encountered a kinder soul on the hill. RIP Kelly.
