An athletics booster friend of mine told me that he was with SFT and a group of supporters recently when SFT pointed out, in all seriousness, that if Joye Lee-McNelis doesn't turn things around quicker than she's doing now that he was going to call Gino Auriemma at UConn.
My friend got home and called me and said that, for the first time, he thought the guy was just nuts.

Funny how it always comes down to athletics. But, you know what? At this point, whatever it takes to make people realize that SFT's presidency is the WORST thing to ever hit USM!
SFT keeps reminding me of the scenes in "The Empire Strikes Back" where Darth Vader keeps killing off admirals who don't deliver exactly what he wants.

foot soldier, it was "one" admiral and "one" captain (Empire Strikes Back), but good analogy. SFT was once said to have fired a janitor on the spot for saying "good morning".........
I've heard some stories about what a joy he was to work for. I don't know what must have been more fun, accounting for your time in 15-minute increments, or having to sit in your office until the clock struck five. (Although my informant had a clever way to deal with that little rule. . .)
I've also heard that a story about hitting a tree is still making the rounds among the paramedic community.

LVN, are you saying SFT drives a car/SUV like he runs the university???????
The items about working for him, I have first hand. The other is gossip of a pretty nasty sort and I should not have mentioned it. I was more interested in the persistence of these stories - -

Oh goodie! Perhaps another chapter in the BASE FLESH MYTH that we love to cackle about at the Ladies Missionary Society teas!
That reminds me of a moldy old joke .... people are lined up at the Pearly Gates one day, when a distinguished looking older gentleman wearing a white coat and carrying a medical bag pushes through the throngs and makes his way into the Gate. A few disgruntled souls turn to St. Peter and complain, "Who did that guy thing he was?" "Oh," says Peter nonchalantly, "that's God. Sometimes he thinks he's a doctor!"
