2001 PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARS PROGRAM NATIONAL RECOGNITION WEEK June 23 - June 28, 2001 Washington, DC National Recognition Week is Sponsored by The General Motors Corporation GMAC Financial Services The Merck Company Foundation The Presidential1964- Scholars Program Through Thirty-Eight Years... he United States Presidential Scholars Program was established in 1964, by Executive Order of the TPresident, to recognize and honor some of our Nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. Each year, up to 141 students are named as Presidential Scholars, one of the Nation’s high- est honors for high school students. In honoring the Presidential Scholars, the President of the Unit- ed States symbolically honors all graduating high school seniors of high potential. From President Lyndon Baines Johnson to George W. Bush, the Presidential Scholars Program has honored more than 5,000 of our nation’s most distinguished graduating high school seniors. Initiat- ed by President Johnson, the Presidential Scholars Program annually selects one male and one female student from each state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Americans living abroad, 15 at-large students, and up to 20 students in the arts on the basis of outstanding scholarship, service, leadership and creativity through a rigorous selection and review process administered by the U.S. Department of Education. President Johnson opened the first meeting of the White House Commission on Presidential Schol- ars by stating that the Program was not just a reward for excellence, but a means of nourishing excel- lence. The Program was intended to stimulate achievement in a way that could be “revolutionary.” During the first National Recognition Week in 1964, the Scholars participated in seminars with Sec- retary of State Dan Rusk, Astronaut Alan B. -

THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 3 (2004) The Unique Career of “Greasy” Neale By Alan Mann Here is a man born, raised and buried in a small town in West Virginia who never forgot his roots, but through a combination of athletic prowess, intelligence, toughness and thrift achieved national recognition and spent most of the last years of his life dividing his time between New York City and Florida and concentrating on his golf game, at which he was very good. He also outlived two wives (no small accomplishment in itself) and married for a third time at the age of 77. Along the way, Alfred Earle “Greasy” Neale would become the only man in the history of American sports to play in the World Series, coach a football team in the Rose Bowl and coach a team in two NFL Championships! He is, in fact, the only coach in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles to win two NFL championships, back to back or otherwise, and is not only in the Pro Football Hall of Fame but the National Football Foundation (College) Football Hall of Fame as well. The nickname was not, as some have been led to believe, because he was an elusive runner with a football, though he must have been. The nickname came about when, as a young man, he was working in a steel mill and called a fellow worker “dirty” since he was covered with dirt. Later on, as Earle was eating a sandwich, he had mayonnaise on his face. This fellow, whose name was Rittenhouse, retaliated by saying, “Well, you are greasy.” The name stuck and Earle would answer to the name Greasy the rest of his life. -
