From our January/February 2011 issue: In 1985, Matt Suhey helped the Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl.

When Brad “Spider” Caldwell retired in July, it marked the formal end of his more than four decades as part of the Penn State football program. That run started when Caldwell ’86 H&HD joined the team as a student manager for the 1983 season, and it continued through a 31-year career, most of it spent as head equipment manager.
