On June 9th the University put out a media release about the Long's million dollar gift to football. The media piece was very informative. This info was news to me - In 1994 the Long's made an impactful gift to VU , establishing the Elizabeth Mullen Endowment in memory of his grandmother (who raised Howie ,he called her Ma). The endowed fund supports a football scholarship for a student from an inner-city school in the Boston area. This I never knew. I am very close to Bob Capone but he said not a word. No coach ever mentioned this. Reading the release today was the first I learned of this gift. Again this week I find myself saying thanks to the Long's.
