I guess the choice of training camp for the Steelers once necessitated commissary duty by nuns. Plus other help, as seen below.

Not sure when this practice ended.

Lynn Swann. Now there's a name I've not heard in a very long time.

Did those nuns whack the boys with a ruler if they didn't eat their veggies?

Good advice for Charlie Brown in the picture. Surely she won't be mean like Lucy and yank the ball away.

Wow... back then the "Steelers Entourage" was only 100 people? I'll bet it's three to five times that now!
