Jessica, my mother thinks she went to college with your aunt. Bryn Mawr 1971? And my mother says my grandparents knew "the Ransohoffs" (which, not sure) well.

Kathy? Of it might have been one of their cousins - Sally, Lela, or Martha.

There are also an awful lot of 2nd cousins it could be...

(And then, because there was a Ransohoff-Westheimer marriage in 2 separate generations, there are several branches of both families where the relationships get really hard to map. I went to college with a girl who was my 3rd and 4th cousin, from different sides of the family.)

The main campus also has a child care center named for Schultz, one of the administrators charged.

This is why buildings should only be named after people who are dead.

Ultimately, I think this is a reflection of the corrupting nature of big money college sports. After years of turning a blind eye to supporters' supplying cars, apartments, cash and hookers to top players and to professors passing athletes who can't read, your vision gets cloudy.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just read an article on HuffPo that makes me think this story is going to get worse.

Liese, those are awesome!!

Not a guarantee, but a good start.

Whoops, Jessica, I guess your mother's cousin, Martha.

Cincinnati is such a funny small town in some ways. My mother said that when she married my father his mother tried to introduce her to her "society friends" but she was too shy. I said, "They were all nice Jewish housewives who played Mah-Johngg! That's not 'society'".

All it is, really, is a big small town, where high school sports are king.

I believe I know which one you mean, and if it's true, I might be physically ill.

Still, small world. She lives in the DC area so I'm a lot closer to her kids (my second cousins) than I am to many of my first cousins.

What does that make The Reds?
