Biography[]
At some point, Joe College entered in Marshall College where he became one of the Lettermen and hung out with them frequently. He also had a girlfriend.[1]
In 1957, the student was hanging out at Arnie's Diner with his girlfriend and a second man when Indiana Jones directed greaser Mutt Williams to sucker punch the letterman in order to provoke a gang fight in the diner that would distract the two KGB agents spying on them. Mutt gave Joe his cap and then hit the astonished letterman into the face. Joe fell back against one of the KGB agents who threw him to the side across a table to get him out of the way.[2]
