Don Frey became the head Athletic Trainer and wrestling coach at the University of Pennsylvania in 1962. He recruited local, above-average wrestlers not sought after by other colleges. Don turned a group of scrappy wrestlers from modest backgrounds into champions and set a record with 29 straight wins from 1968-1970. He had an impact on everybody who he coached or cared for as a trainer. Fifty years later, the people who knew him best reflect how he made them better people.
