Program to help children with disabilities draws Peace Corps veteran back to Florida State

When Florida State student Mollie Romano Friedman was a child, the walk from the Woodward parking garage to Doak Campbell Stadium felt endless. As she strode with her father, Jerry Romano, through campus to football games, he told stories about his alma mater, where he earned degrees in law and economics.

"He pointed out Strozier Library, Tully Gym where he used to register for classes, and the spot near Landis Green where he met my mom," Mollie said. "Years later, he brought me back to Florida State as a freshman, and I rolled my eyes as I listened to those stories again."
