I was suddenly deeply sadden to hear of passing of Marvin "Goose" Goslin. But what memories I have of this avid sports fan. I first met him at Norwin High School and we graduated together in 1967 then both attended IUP. During my junior year we were roommates at IUP and I also had the privilege of broadcasting IUP basketball games with "Goose" on IUP college station. "Goose's" love of sports was infectious and supplied a fever to your existence. My most personal treasure "Goose" gave to me was his desire to excel and give 200%. He wasn't the most talented athlete, but as I have told numerous friends no one put forth the effort that "Goose" did, no one. For example while at IUP he played Spring football at IUP all of 140 lbs and wrote a column about his experiences playing spring football at IUP, it was a memorable column. This was the start of his great career. My sympathy and condolences goes out to all his family members and close friends. "Goose" we will miss your passion and inspiration for sports and life.
