ORLANDO — On Saturday night, George McCaskey was supposed to have dinner with his mother, Virginia, at 5:30 E.T. There was a small problem with that, though, involving another high-profile 90-something woman in Chicago.
“Mom is a big fan of Sister Jean,” McCaskey said Wednesday from the NFL annual meetings in Orlando. “We were supposed to have dinner here the other night and I said, Mom dinner's at 5:30. She said, hmm, tipoff is at 6:09 so I think I'm going to get room service.”
Virginia McCaskey and Sister Jean Doloris Schmidt — the Loyola Ramblers’ beloved 98-year-old team chaplain — have never met.
